I'm extremely disappointed in the way fish & chips shops have gone downhill in our fine country, the quality is shocking with most fish being Hoki, if you get a good grade it's okay but usually is not worth going back for another round. The best I have had in the last 10 years was in Cairns at Ocean Worl...

I ask this question as last week, we took a picnic BBA with us for a drive up the range. As pensioners, we are unable to pay the exorbitant fee for the train, or equaly the sky rail. We drove up, had a great look around the town, enjoyed the pretty station and spent money at various market stalls. We then dr...

Son of mine just snapped a towball on his light truck towing a 3000kg twin axle trailer. Luckily it happened as he was slowing from 100 down to 70 coming in to Warra out west of Dalby. The Warrego highway out that way is all up and down and broken drawbars on trailers/vans are not uncommon. Happened with a...

I have recently bought a Jayco Sterling. A beaut van with everything that opens and shuts. It's 23 ft long and weighs in at 2200 kg. It's a 2010 model. Next year I plan to do the lap. An old mate who has caravanned a lot tells me that these vans are prone to breaking springs and I should get a wrap-around sprin...

Toilets, water, pets, fires etc. It also has an icon for the legal designation of the...

That gave me a declared 748kg max weight (AGM or GVM I get them mixed up!!) tare being 450kg. But as time went on things were added. Two solar panels, tomahawk, tent legs, extra water tank toolbox etc e...

I have a Suburban gas hot water system in my RV. It works a treat. The problem I have is that the hot water runs for a few seconds, then goes cold. Turn the tap off and wait a few more seconds, then turn it back on and again, hot water then goes cold. I have fitted a new tempering valve and flushed out the hot wat...

I am looking at staying at Lenthall Dam and Log Dump camp sites near Hervey Bay this year. Van is 28 ft and not an off road. Can I get van in to sites? I don't mind if road is corrugated. Have driven around Flinders Ranges with van.
