Hi all we just bought a second hand Jayco Camper and took the covers off (no idea if they are the originals) to wash them and there is a thin plastic layer between the covers and the cushions which also came off and is too thin to get back on. Is there any purpose for it and if so where can I find replacements? W...

Hi All. I am curious on what and/or how people store/pack emergency foods, and what sort of quantity. ie; dried veggies, cans of baked beans or spaghetti. Also what you do when it comes to not having fruit and veg on hand, for quarantine reasons. Again, like jars of fruit, frozen vegies, dehydrated it...

Can anyone who has travelled across the Nullarbor recently confirm whether 'plastic' is available across the Eyre Highway? We last travelled that way some 17-years ago. That time I was still working with restricted leave so with three drivers we did the trip in two days and nights. We paid cash all th...

Whilst we, like many many of you are avid bush campers, the bush fires at the moment in S.E.Qld. plus other areas of the nation make one appreciate the Rural Fire Services.

Just interested to hear from those that have a UHF, what brand it is and why you chose it. We have two Oricom handhelds which we chose because of the deal on offer and theyve been great and we have a car mounted Uniden which we chose because just about everyone we knew had Uniden and its been excellent.

A bit of drama for me, today. The van somehow parted company with the Commodore and slid up an embankment into a wire fence. The hitch had been in the locked position on the towball. It was checked before leaving the campsite at Narrandera and again 5 mins later at the service station, so no idea how it cam...

I was told by a Jayco Sales person, that these vans, the earlier model, did not have an insulated roof, that they had to squirt foam into the wiring runs to stop the looms rattling. Does anybody know if this is correct ?, a bit of a poor show if it is. Apparently the new models now on sale have insulated roofs...
