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. Our heart goes out to the many families who have endured suffering and heart ache. When on the road touring we must abide by the rules...

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...

Had an ant problem in the van for a couple of weeks. Could see no entry or exit point, just had ants popping up every time I turned around. Tried all sorts of baits, nothing worked, or even slowed them down. One day that was hot we left a damp sponge on the sink and went out for the day. When we came back, moved t...

Hello all, Can anyone recommend a good place to physically look at various second motor homes in NSW?

I was recently off...
