Just spent a week with 2 other couples in our vans at Karuah CP one of the couples happened to be on a shakedown trip with their recently purchased single axle 18ft Concept van.

Gday... An earlier post highlighted the problems of losing a wheel from their van while travelling. I have had it happen within the first 80km of taking delivery of my van 10 years ago - it was definitely NOT a pleasant experience.

Hi all, I picked up one of these aldi fans a little over a month ago for 40 bucks. Since I regularly see requests for advice on fans, and I've enjoyed this one compared to the other ones I've had, I figured a review was in order.

Hi all, our 300ltr 2way fridge in van has died. Spent many, many hours looking for a used 3way to replace (180ltr or thereabouts}. No luck locating one within 200k from Geelong.
