We have recently been free camping along the Murray River up past Sedan in SA. We have two little dogs that travel with us. Our last trip saw the dogs get tiny litt...

Hi. This is our first time in the Forum. Although we have been caravanning we find that our satisfaction is not being fullfilled. We currently have a 21ft van (2.5 tonne ATM) with shower/toilet etc towed with a Patrol 3lt diesel. It feels like we are pulling a block of flats! We are missing out on all the a...

After baffling months of being unable to start a new topic I've suddenly found my way in again (still no idea why! ), so thought I'd ask if anyone's stayed in either of the two Inverell caravan parks? We're heading there on Wednesday, just to have a look around for a few days -- and to get away from the 40-to...

Does anyone have any suggestions of how to seal the hinge where my camper folds over? At least I think that's where the water comes in when she's folded up...driving along or sitting at home. For the life of me...and others I've asked...I can't think how to seal it without stopping the hinge from workin...

You were all so helpful with my questions earlier that I thought I'd push my luck a bit and try another one. As I said before I'm brand new to this and I've only just bought my van - don't pick it up for another week and a half. Added to this is the issue that I haven't lived in Australia for a long time so I'm not...
