I was in the process of booking a caravan park for 3 nights next week in Sth NSW, as I was doing my online booking I was asked if I was a member of G Day Parks, I ticked NO, price $135. Then I thought most of the parks I stay in are G Day, so for a 10% discount for A $40 2 year membership I should probably join, which I...

We have a 2018 Windsor Seka 552 poptop, which we enjoy. It did have a single aluminium step under the door, but a trip to Mt Augustus and a big rock and the step was wiped out. So we went to a fold-up step which I take outside when the van is a bit high. recently I have been looking at the Ranger double pull out st...

Hi All Each to their own of course and each of us has our preferred touring style. Some like to create a longer term base unhook the van or camper and travel and explore from there. Those with motorhomes are sometimes a bit more mobile ( apart from those who also tow cars) and move on more regularly. Fifth W...

Our caravan cover is starting become very powdery and about to fall apart after 2 and half years, and yes it was an Aldi brand. A few years ago a friend bought a Camec cover and that lasted less than 2 years. any ideas on a cover that might last a bit longer, were in Perth and yes have rain in winter and hot sun i...

Hi all. Looking for advice from persons who have first-hand experience at the following questions. Are 40ft buses too big for most caravan parks as I'm not that into free camping in the muddle of nowhere, just so I can park up Where is the most common area in a town that you would park for 1/2 an hour to do gr...

I raised the issue of transitioning from a caravan to a Motorhome in a previous post and thanks to everyone who gave great advice. The trouble is, virtually every Motorhome I have looked at has a huge amount of extremely negative consumer reviews based on their personal experiences. People generall...

Whilst the rain in Logan and Brisbane regions has mostly been nothing more than a light to medium drizzle over the last few days, our rain gauge says we are approaching 5 inches or 125 mils. Hoping it clears for everyone to enjoy a great Easter festive time. Talking on Easter, Jay & Dee. Hope every...

Well gang, I recently bit the bullet and sold my trusty old 2005 Nissan Patrol (4.2 td), I really didnt want to, BUT I did. I have since purchased a 2018 Ford Ranger Px Mk II with 67,000 kms on the clock and I must say immaculately looked after. Im told by someone who knew the owners that it has been nowhere a...

I am interested in the views of people who have actually transitioned from caravan owning to a Motorhome. Am thinking ahead as, as we all get older, have been thinking a Motorhome might be easier to manage than my current 24 foot van (cab only drawbar extra). Whilst the major pros and cons are fairly obv...

Hi all, the water filling stations I have seen over the last few days have a 25mm hose as the smallest filling point. So far the hoses dont have an end fitting at all , I gather to supply buik water to a tank. Has anyone used these with a suitable fitting to fill directly into van tanks? I cant seem to find a rem...

Has anyone had any experience with the Ozito OTAC-1570 ? $65 at Bunnings. The other option is the XTM at Supercheap Auto $299, $149 for members. The XTM seems better quality, but as I don't think we will use the compressor much, I was thinking that for the price difference, the Ozito would do. Collo.
