Hey all, you've probably seen these dohickeys floating around on social media of late. they seem to be everywhere. Now I know you can't use this on your van but I figure most of you are towing with a 4wd of some sort and would probably spend as much time up on the roof as I do.You might even have ducks d...

As a boy I have vivid memories of almost 80 years ago, of living in a western Queensland town some 600 klms from the Gold Coast. There were only 2 Temp. Bloody hot and bloody Cold. We had a wooden stove in our home in a special recess with enough room for us to stand behind the stove. Great to get warm in winter...

I have installed a shunt in the charging circuit of the MPPT regulator, its a 50 amp Jaycar one c/w meter. I am on the second unit, the first just registered in the negative, no matter which way the signal wires were attached to the shunt. I took pictures of the wiring to Jaycar and they couldn't fault it, a...

Do caravanners out there recommend the use of weight distribution hitches when attaching caravans to your Y62 (2018 model).The van I am having made has a GVM of 3.5 t (probably won't weigh that much when loaded) and my Y62 has had airbags fitted. Does the front axle weight of the Y62 (1650 kg) mean that w...

Thought I should ask in case it circumvents a problem happening. The water pump in the van works fine, but has for a few days, when taps are turned on been chattering loudly and causing solid reverberations through the pipes. Sounds like a jackhammer in the shower cubicle. Can also feel it on taps arou...
