My hubby and I stayed at a free park in Tiaro QLD. There is a sign on the fence saying that if you stay in this free park you must spend money in the Royal Hotel in Tiaro (this sign was put there by the pub owners) not the council. This park is owned 100% by the council - NOT that pub. We thought we would do the ri...

Ok, so just new to caravanning, looking at purchasing a MARS offroad 13ft. My question is Aircon or no Aircon. I sort of know what the answer will be, but they are so expensive.

Just interested, may change our van for a smaller one, but the other half is talking pop top. Any views on whether either type ( Pop Top verses Full size Caravan) is preferred.

My wife has not long ago had a pacemaker implanted. What a difference that makes! I am concerned though about EMF interference from devices such as Induction Cooktops or Microwaves. I phoned the Cardiac specialist and they referred me to the pacemaker supplier. I phoned them and the guy said not to go...

Looks like I might have found the Mother Lode, here. I'm 72 and all I have is an old dog, an old land cruiser and an 18' caravan. I do a good impersonation of Clink in Hogan's Hero's. I know NOTHING about caravans or the nuances of towing them. I also believe in safety in numbers when travelling. Hoping for y...

I've always wondered if chickens communicated using foul language. Maybe only when they're egg cited. An invisible man married an invisible woman. The kids were nothing to look at either. I didnt think the chiropractor would improve my posture. But I stand corrected. I took my new girlfriend...
