Yesterday I placed a post in "TECHIES CORNER" re the fitting of 3 items to my new D max. I would appreciate any D max owners or other mechanical minded persons going to my post and offer any information. Cheers. RAINBIRD ROVERS

A newby to the forum, but not the lifestyle of Caravaning. We are currently on our third van and whilst still working try to use it as often as possible. Been browsing the site for a while and find it full of good information (and opinions) so look forward to finally be able to contribute and or seek advi...

Planning to visit WA next year if possible. Would like to know what the road into Middle Lagoon is like please. I realise road conditions vary and change due to many factors but is the road a formed road or graded/dozed track, sandy or rocky, is it possible to tow a 20 foot van in, not off road but prepare...

Here we go, here we go, (again)I have read (but never saved any articles of the story), that in order to allow the international travellers/workers to quickly return to Australia, they could quarantine at their own chosen abode/home etcThe pic shows what has happened very recently, as it is in toda...

A little bit of movie trivia which also annoys me because it just means very little attention to detail. A car pulls to a stop having travelled quite a distance but there is condensation from the exhaust which means that it has only travelled from round the corner. This happens every time I have seen th...

I am. You are. We are Australian WE, the people of a free nation of blokes, sheilas and the occasional wanker. We come from many lands even from New Zealand and although we live in the best country in the world, we reserve the right to bitch and moan about it whenever we bloody like. We are One Nation b...

Planning on out back and top end trips next year .Would appreciate ideas on ways to keep as much dust out as possible.

I am considering having an operation to release tthe contracture on my right hand little finger. Just wondering if anyone on this site has had the operation and what were the results, and how long was the hand out of use? Cheers Pete

For the time I have been on the forum (12-18months) I have found topics/responses to weights "issues" confusing to say the least. So about 6months ago whilst in Darwin I went to the MVR (similar to RTA etc) and spent about an hour talking one on one to a "scaleee" at the test shed.....and came away even mo...

I have just sold the Outlander and pod/bars/rear end tent and now have a Hyundai Imax. In the process of fitting it out as a sleeper/camper, do not intent doing a full campervan conversion although it would make a good one as it has a walk through between the front seats. Will have a 30L portable fridge/...

It just wouldn't be right if I didn't acknowledge the great series win by the Maroons over the C o c k roaches in last night's National Rugby League. What a turn out it was. The 'worst team in 40 years' according to some southern commentators, just out enthused the team from the south who apparently beli...

Decided to test the new camper last night for waterproofness and a few other things to test out. Milo was with me, as have built it with space factored in for him to be able to sleep with me. Had some rain, no leaks, after doing some reading. Went to sleep around 11ish. About 2am, Milo starts walking all ove...
