Havago · Havago

Hi. I am looking at updating my towing mirrors. I have a Ford Territory and full 19'6" caravan. At present I have the clip-on ones held with rubber straps. What is your opinion of say, Aussie Truck Mirrors , the Ora Torino ones and the others that clip on the mirrors? I have a limited budget also. Loo...

Did anyone see Bill The Kid on Discover Downunder on TV on Saturday afternoon (4.30pm)? He was supposed to be on the Charlieville leg booking into a caravan park I think? We had visitors so I missed it.

I know car salesmen get a bad rep most of the time,but the guy who we bought the "Tardis" from has been excellent, well and beyond after sales .. He has even moved to a couple of other different yards since we bought our rig and still is quite happy to come over and help us out with any questions we...

I have seen threads at different times that recommended Nappisan for Porta Potties. Not having a pottie, I've only ever given these threads a quick glance. We called in to our van builder yesterday morning to have a couple of freebie added before heading up along the Murray. One of the things we left wi...

Unfortunately I believed the dealer and took the van but on the travels it felt heavy and pulled the prado. Does anybody know the legalities of this Ken...

Too nice of a day to stay inside. Off to meet an american couple and get pissed at the beer garden. Please excuse any late night posts :)

Whenever I've put my caravan or campervan in for service or repair etc, i've always removed everything I can, including tools and personal valuable (eg; TV/Radio/Laptop etc). My reasoning is that it is better to do that rather than have a dispute later about anything that is missing. Bearing in min...

Despite numerous hold ups and appointments we are finally hitting the road in the morning for a few weeks. Haven't got time to travel far enough North for good weather but at least we'll be away.

Got notification in the Mail today from WORLD PROPERTY ALLOCATION, that I'm the lucky recipient of either [my choice] a 2011 AUDI Q7 SUV, valued at $ 54,200.00, or a Cheque to that Value. Just have to send them $25.00. Needless to say, it's already in the rubbish. Cheers, Sheba.
