I am considering purchasing a light weight trail bike to carry on either the caravan draw bar or a bar on the rear of the caravan. Has anyone had experience in this or suggestions. I don't want to have to always disconnect the van to go into town.

my wife are giving thought to our eventual travels and are somewhat confused between the caravan & motorhome. Primary inclusion is an ensuite, if caravan then we are thinking a max of 18 feet & suitable to pop behind our Pajero Sport. My thought is a Hino Rainbow/Liesse MH. I am wondering if a...

We are at older sons place in northern New Mexico at 8000. The temperature dropped to 9 F with 10 of snow. We put a 60 W lamp in front bay with the LFP battery suite and it kept the space above 40 F. Son ran an extension cord to fifth wheel after I whined about needing to probably run generator in morning since I...

G'Day, Son gave me an endoscope at Xmas as a bit of a backslap as I'd earlier in the year had a endoscoptomy....said I could D.I.Y. in the future!, anyway he told me it came from Ebay and gave me the link (below). We both thought it would be a bit of a toy considering the price ($8.98 delivered) but amazingl...

Has anyone bought and used the BettaView towing mirrors from Ebay? I want to replace my Mazda BT50 mirrors with something like the Clearview towing mirrors but at $745 they're a bit expensive.

Truckies Breakfast... A truckie came into a truck stop cafe and placed his order. He said, 'I want three flat tyres, a pair of headlights and a pair of running boards.

I was wondering what to do about cutting down the amount of CD'S that I had to carry and the options that were available to me.

Has anybody rigged up there van so as they can use local water in their shower etc? Instead of using the water in your tanks you conserve that water, which you know to be good quality for vital purposes like cooking, coffee and cleaning teeth etc. This way the water in our 80 lt tank can last us a number of we...

Hi, We are picking up a new Van after Christmas, the one thing I notice is very limited bench top space for food prep, Im thinking that a Lge HPDE board to fit over the entire stove top would be the answer, it would have to be raised either end so as not to put weight on and damage stove top surface, would any on...
