I have a vague recollection of a picturesque drive along the coastline including a newish roadway & possibly bridge in the Sydney area. Possibly only constructed in the last 10yrs or so. The views are supposed to be spectacular. If it exists I want to include it in my forthcoming trip back up the co...

Can anyone tell me if we can tow with a new tug straight away, or do we need to wait - perhaps until we have some kilometers on it? I have heard that we need 3000 kms on the car before we set off. We ordered a new diesel ford territory in early July, and as delivery keeps getting delayed we can't make any definit...

It was decided - not by me - that a short foray with the van was due. So we headed away, a bit more than a fortnight ago. As we trundled down the freeway, I did manage to convince the driver that, in the prevailing wet, cold and windy weather, the Great Ocean Road was not a great idea. We had a few days at Port Fai...

We are considering a new Jayco Sterling caravan as our new van. I am a concerned that the curved shower door in the ensuite looks a little flimsy and could cause problems such as door coming off track or jamming. I would welcome comments and feedback from those more experienced than myself Thanks Ed

I have a failed house battery & I am in the market for a new one. Could I ask those elec. techs. their opinion of the pros & cons of one larger AGM, as against two 100ah in parallel. I have an open mind on the subject & would value knowledgeable input. Thank you. Terry

This ad has really been getting a flogging on TV & Radio so assume many of us have seen it. Does anyone know the people in it? Who can tell me the type of caravan and tow vehicle they are using? -- Edited by Vic on Friday 29th of July 2011 03:10:47 PM
