I haven't used the awning for a while and now find that the travel lock on the awning arm has managed to become stuck fast. Is WD40 the best lubricant to use to penetrate?

We do a lot of forest and national park camping, wondering what policies cover fallen trees and branches. Have you had a claim and what was it like dealing with the insurance company. Thanks

Hi all. As title suggest, I am wondering if anyone has lately traveled on the road from Mt Coolon to the Burdekin Falls Dam and on to Ravenswood. I do have a 4WD and a full off-road 16' caravan.

Hi all, I am thinking of changing my drum brakes out on our duel wheel van (22ft) to Disc brakes, has anyone done this and was it a hassel.? I know I can call the suppliers etc, but just wanted some feed back first. Also any ideas on cost etc.. As I have said above the van is 22ft, so its quite heavy, although t...

Currently camped up at Tarlee Oval. Three night maximum, by donation, and has flushing toilets. Just had a fantastic, and very filling, meal at the pub, only a hop skip and jump away. Also a great bakery in the Main Street.

I have an annex complete for a 16.5 ft pop top, heavy duty canvas, used only twice. Was fitted to a 1991 Roadstar. As we have fitted a roll out awning we no longer need it. It fits into sail tracks 2130 high on the van from the ground. Does not fit to roof, just to top edge of side wall. The end walls fit sail trac...

He quickly fired up his computer and downloaded so many pages that I thought his usual consultation feet..err..fee would escalate tenfold! Ha...

Hi All Tried posting on the techie corner but it disappeared. Try again. I have 2 solar panels on top of my van that feed (i expect) into the CTEC in the boot (of the van) and through to the 2 x 120ah batteries.

Anyway the panel arrived a couple of days ago and I had a go at hooking it up to the van, utilising the the second sol...
