Hi all, new to this so I'm hoping for some advice,2 weeks ago we purchased a 2nd hand van from a dealer on the Sunshine coast, on pickup morning when the salesman pulled the van onto my ball the coupling fouled and scratched the bumper, his suggestion was that I would have to get a longer tongue, the coupli...

Hi all To the ones who have had air lifters installed on their pop top, is it difficult to pull the roof down? I did a search on the topic and that problem was mentioned.

Got the ears tested. As an aged pensioner I qualify for a up to $2500 off RRP (I think it was $2500). Anything above that I have to pay the difference. I have 3 to choose from, all Signia (Siemens) units. Pure 10, Pure 312, Pure 13 or Motion 13. The numbers are battery sizes and I'm only looking at over the ear...

Yes, we've put our house on the market! Now all we need is a buyer so we can get on the road in the van again. We are reluctant to leave the house for any length of time while it's for sale, and we're getting itchy feet!! If you don't know, Inverloch is a lovely village on the outlet of the Tarwin River in Sou...

Two sisters, one blonde and one brunette, inherit the family ranch. Unfortunately, after just a few years, they are in financial trouble. In order to keep the bank from repossessing the ranch, they need to purchase a bull so that they can breed their own stock. Upon leaving with $600, the brune...

My portable 80w solar panels have the controller attached to the back, permanently wired to the panels & with about 4 metres of cables to connect to a battery with aligator clips - I want that to remain even though I realise it could be made more efficient as I use them in the campervan & at home f...
