This is the spot to try and stump each other as to where a particular scenic photo has been taken. Please include something in the photos submitted that will be an obviou...

For me two places stand out ( more will come to mind, but I'm a senior so I am having a moment) 1 Mataranka, a stunning spot I thought, the springs are usually full of grey nomads immersed in the warm water, the meals at the resaurant were fantastic and the Van Park though a bit on the dusty side was very clean...

Caravan step

We have a 2018 Windsor Seka 552 poptop, which we enjoy. It did have a single aluminium step under the door, but a trip to Mt Augustus and a big rock and the step was wiped out. So we went to a fold-up step which I take outside when the van is a bit high. recently I have been looking at the Ranger double pull out st...

Transition from a fully equipped, off road caravan to a good quality motorhome - transition and comparison issues.

I am interested in the views of people who have actually transitioned from caravan owning to a Motorhome. Am thinking ahead as, as we all get older, have been thinking a Motorhome might be easier to manage than my current 24 foot van (cab only drawbar extra). Whilst the major pros and cons are fairly obv...

12V air compressor

Has anyone had any experience with the Ozito OTAC-1570 ? $65 at Bunnings. The other option is the XTM at Supercheap Auto $299, $149 for members. The XTM seems better quality, but as I don't think we will use the compressor much, I was thinking that for the price difference, the Ozito would do. Collo.
