we are having a lot of trouble with the half moon cupboard catches, is there anything that could replace them with the same hole mountings

Hi all, I'm about to install some permanent panels on the roof of the van and have now come up with a mounting plan based on research. The pop up roof offers its own challenges. The panels have an open circuit voltage of around 40v and are rated 235w. Of course I'll be using a suitably rated mtttp contr...

Hello.could anyone please tell me if 60w 17v solar panels can be connected to a 12v battery and what size controller would be needed?

Has anyone personally had a hitch failure, towbar, ball coupling etc., lot of talk about shackles & ratings as such. Hard to believe with set ups as they are that they could fail to this extent, talking about a set up with all parts up to standard. Joda

Thought I would post this for others to reference. Had lowish water pressure for some time when on mains pressure, checked the system but found nothing amiss. During the last few days have had a vibration sound coming from the filling point. Having removed the filling fitting, found an "O: ring had co...

I was just talking to my next door neighbour and I asked him where their new Suburu Liberty was that they had bought 2 weeks ago.

Hi, new to the forum and bought a new van a year ago but have only been doing short trips of a week or so as working life and family commitments have allowed. Plan is to build up to longer trips as our experience and leisure time increases, and hope to be doing three month long trips to Tassie, the Top End etc....

Hi Travellers, Having trouble with the small toggles that hold the top half of the door to the ceiling when travelling. I guess it's a common fault as it is a weak point. Any suggestions that might make it a little more secure would be appreciated. Thanks NormJean.

Hello Travellers, Can anyone give advice on how to keep the half,or top of the door ,secured to the ceiling for travel. The toggles seem to be weak and don't last. I'm guessing it's a common problem and suggestions would be appreciated. It's a 2017 Model. Thanking you Norm and Jean.

Getting started with quad copters July 2018I needed a project and was wondering if quad copters/drones could be something I could handle and enjoy with my physical disabilities AND especially my Diabetes related failing eyesight. I bought a couple of cheapies to have a play with indoors during the...

We're currently camped at Lake Hindmarsh NW VIC. The lake is ringed by big old River Red Gums. At The Wattles campground there is a tree with a branch that looks exactly like a horses head from every angle. It's larger than a Clydesdale's Head. Nature comes up with some strange things sometimes.

A man was standing behind an older couple at the ATM. He could see the man struggling with the buttons so he turned around and said something to his wife. All of a sudden the wife pushed the husband over. Shocked, the man rushed forward. What did you do that for? He asked the wife while helping the man up. Th...

A plane was moving down the tarmac before it stopped abruptly, turned around and returned to the gate. After a two hour delay, it finally took off. "What was the problem?" a worried passenger asked the flight attendant. "The pilot was bothered by a noise he heard in the engine," the flight attendant re...

Hi I have started a new thread to avoid disturbing the original discussion on another thread. We could have a useful discussion on this subject. On another thread there was a comment made that MPPT controllers/regulators will boost the voltage from the solar panels when it is too low to a higher fi...

Hello all. Introducing myself, Jimmy, and my wife Jennie to the forum. We own a brand new Jayco Journey pop top, tow is a Ford Territory diesel. Hopefully we can contribute something in here. We started off motorcycle camping, but she got wet and cold and put her foot down. We went to a campervan, but she...

During our last 12 months of travelling we have sometimes been asked to leave our driving licence while the Motorhome is being filled up. Luckily I have a seperate ID card that I got from the Ballina RTA/Service NSW so can leave this rather than my licence. The other option is to leave your co-driver/pa...
