Am keen to purchase a camera to attach to the back of our van that will help see what is travelling behind us when on a long straight piece of road. Am I looking for a reversing camera or a rear view camera or are they the same thing? Advice on best buys much appreciated.

Hi all. We are wannabee newbies, currently shopping for our van and excited about heading off. We hope to take the coast roads, all the way to Perth, maybe a little further north of there but not too much. Has anyone any idea of the roads from Ceduna to Margaret River. Is there a coast road or one that isn't...

The tube is to mend tiny stone-chips in the windscreen. Costs around $70. if you get some-one else to fix it, and they use exactly the same thing. I know, 'cause I've had it done once, and seen how it's done. Carry my own now. Costs $19.99. The Bagholder is self-explanatary. Handy little thing. ...
