They are hoping to do a piece about grey nomads heading north and would love to interview nomads who are in the Darwin area now about their experiences. The deadline is pretty tight ... they would like to talk to someone and t...

Gday... A bit more comparison of the figures provided by the manufacturers. I have added some other common vehicles and have shown the comparison of 80% and 90% of maximum towing rating. The figures continue to be a little eye opening. It still assumes that each vehicle would only have 10% of that 80%...

If my only choice of a tow vehicle was between the Colorado 7 and the Isuzu MU-X which should I pick and why? Would love to hear from owners of both re the good and bad points. The weight of my van is no more than 2 tonne fully loaded. Thanks in advance to all who respond.

Hi again everyone Surfing the net frantically today and came across a website for Free Range Camping. They are very sales orientated and seem to be offering a lot of the features of the CMCA.

Hi guys, we are embarking on a trip from Brisbane to Perth and wondered if any one knows what the road conditions are from Moree to Nyngan. We are required to stay on sealed roads and this route is showing as the quickest on my GPS but can't tell if it's sealed or not. On the road map it is a yellow road. We are o...

Gday... At first glance, the Patrols towing specs look good: it has a 3500kg maximum towing capacity, of which a maximum 350kg can rest on the towball. The Patrol has a 750kg payload and so when loaded to its 3500kg maximum Gross Vehicle Mass, itll still be able to tow its full 3500kg capacity (so Gross C...
