as our led tv is about to pass away we have decieded we need to get a new one. I think I remember seeing good comments about Kogan tv's. Does anyone have comments to share about these tv's. One aspect that is in their favor is that they operate directly on 12 volts D.C. Would appreciate your comments please...

Did you know that when you empty your van fridge, if you place sheets of newspaper on all the shelves and in the freezer section you can close the doors and you will not end up with any mould? But I always leave the doors slightly ajar. Jay&Dee

We were talking to the owner of a caravan park that we stayed at recently & he was telling us about some interesting cooking methods in the camp kitchen, he wasn't impressed. Lay a popup toaster on its side & use it as a griller for your steak, never mind the dripping juices. An electric jug is gre...

Hi all, I'm interested to know if anyone with a petrol tug has any experience using E10 fuel when towing. I usually run on 91ULP with an occasional fill of 95PULP.

Hi all I'm looking for some honest opinions on the above camp sites. I have heard very mixed reports about both and to be honest I'm a little concerned about spending time at both of them but the reviews and opinions on Gnaraloo in particular seem to be either good or terrible with nothing in between
