Can someone tell me about a gadget that helps with hooking up when going solo? I've seen a thread on here before on the subject but can't find it.

With cyclone season approaching, I am wondering, if a warning is given out, should I head inland in my mobile home if camping near the sea? Don't they lose power as they come off the sea and head inland? If so, how far inland do u need to drive? -- Edited by Blonderer on Thursday 11th of November 2010 11:1...

Hi to All Just come back from a little jaunt up the centre, down the West coast, then back to Melbourne - One thing that bothered me was the amount of times in different locations & town shopping centres was that a lot of drivers dont remove their extendable mirrors after unhooking the van. Bloody da...

Sitting here supping on my first home brew of the evening, as per my new avatar, and was wondering if many others make their own? I would be particularly interested if anyone brews it while they are travelling? I guess you would have to stop in the one place for about 8 days. I have been making mine fo...

I am looking to purchase my 1st caravan and the two dealers in my area sell Galaxy and Windsor Caravans. To me they both look to be quite nice and reasonably priced vans, does anyone own one of these and if so, are you happy with it? Thanking you in advance. Ray.

I am writing to ask a favour. This week I am aplying for a job selling Windsor Caravan's. I would love to know your opinion on Windsor. Are they a good product? How do they rate against other Caravan's on the market? What are their good points? What are their bad points? Any information you could give me...

Bugger! After the van rego & insurance this month I just checked & found out I need new tyres for the Landcruiser to pass rego early next year. Pulling the caravan really wears them down fast.
