We hopefully will be buying our first caravan soon and have a mazda bt50 ute and also a truck.Wondering what peoples thoughts would be on using a truck to tow our caravan around on a full time basis or should we just use the ute.Appreciate all comments.

In our Discovery we have a big fat cable running through to the back with an Anderson plug we use to charge the 12v 100A battery in the back which either powers the boat winch or runs the fridge in the caravan when we are rolling. Our new car is a Mitsubishi Outlander and I probably won't have time to chase so...

We've also found that most dash fans are noisy. There is this, which claims to be silent: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/12V-360-R...

They eventually knocked me out with Ketamine, inserted a catheter, vacuumed my bowel, added a few stitches to repair damage, had a Spinal Block for p...

Hi Guys, We are new as well. We have not even started yet but we are super keen to get under way. My question, if anyone can help is this. Is there any difference between a Toyota 100 Series Turbo Diesel and a Troopie Turbo Diesel? As there is only the two of us, we like the extra space in the Troopie but I'm no...

Hi. I am planning my next trip and would like to do Birdsville, via Broken Hill going up, and coming out through Quiplie. I will be driving a Nissan Patrol (4.8 Petrol) pulling a Jayco Starcraft Tourer, NOT Off Road. Would I be in need of "Psychiatric assistance" to attempt such a trip with this combo, or...
