Pretty much as the subject says: I do not have confidence in the standard ball hitch for my 2.7T caravan on bush roads or bumpy bitumen roads (especially those with "waves"!) and would like to replace it. Suggestions appreciated.

Concerned drivers can check if their vehicle is affected by visiting ismyairbagsafe.com.au and entering their state/territory and registration plate number or by texting 0487 AIRBAG (247224) and following the prompts. List of 'Critical' vehiclesHolden 1,843 vehicles 2010 Holden Cruze...

Hello All, I'm trying to find a spot in and around Belair National Park (Adelaide) to prop myself and Urvan poptop while I attend a conference in Belair (25-27 October). Does anyone know if this is possible and if so where. Thanks in anticipation, the Flab.

I have a 2015 Colorado . where do people mount their trailer brake controller and maybe a uhf? Peter

There is a lot of campfire heresy about this, but has anybody actually had their rig weighed, and are there just warnings issued, or is the offence taken more seriously.

Bit rude......but funny

I have heard of people using an "R" clip on their hitch. Found one on the road the other month, and have been using it on the padlock point on the hitch, but don't really see the reason for it. Maybe it will deter someone from tampering with the hitch handle, otherwise I see it as unnecessary. The hitch alre...

A new acquaintance of mine, has just finished his long stint of staying on the eastern side of Copeton Dams free camping area, being their for 2 months, whilst saving money. I met him out their 3 weeks ago after we stayed for a week also. At the time, I told him we stay there, exactly where he is camped a few...

What disease did cured ham actually have? How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage? Why is it that people say they 'slept like a baby' when babies wake up like every two hours? Why are you IN a movie, but you're ON TV? Why do people pay to go up tall...

Currently at White Cliffs in NorthWest NSW. It is a remote opal mining town ninety kilometers north of Wilcannia One of the most friendliest places ever. Glad I was able to get here at this time as in another month the town shuts down for the summer, pub and all, due to the extreme heat. View to the North V...

I wonder how many on this forum have a problem with the paint peeling off the checker plate panels on their vans. I was advised last week that there are 1600 outstanding claims against the insurance company who at this stage are refusing to address the problem and it could be years before anything is don...

need a wifi unit. Not sure if a dongle will supply enough to watch movies etc. or do I need the type the caravan suppliers recommend. Price is so different.

Hi. In response to an article in issue 205 of the G.M.T. regarding Tony Dawson building 2 caravans, a link was offered in which to comment. I tried many times, but the link would not work for me, so I will try here. Firstly, good onya Tony. It appears you built both from the ground up yourself. that is not an...

this was posted up on a pajero page I visit. No story to it, so most will just assume the worst but surely there's a bit of an inbalance here. Had to be on the limit or over it. Others may know better than I Either way, would have been scary cheers Brett

Cyberlink came pre-packaged on a HP Windows 10 laptop I recently bought. Programs it offers are clumsy. Val

Something I have pondered about for some time, the wiring of the breakaway unit. The "Break Safe" unit, install instructions, clearly state that the power for the unit is to come from the "Aux" circuit of the vehicle, good so far. Jayco with their trailer plug wiring diagram clearly state that the pow...

we live in NSW and will be travelling to Western Aust for 8 to 9 months. Whilst in WA both the tug and van need to be registered, which requires a mechanical inspection certificate. Can I just get the inspection done in WA or how should I handle this ? The renewal & CTP I can do online.
