Late last year we finally got our campervan. The one in the Avatar. It's an early 2022 model KEA Nomad. (Sprinter) We really like it and are having fun with it. But I'm not in love with the stickers on it. I was thinking of just removing them, leaving the van plain white. Or maybe even adding a 'wrap' o...

Am amazed at the poor water quality some outback towns have. And some not so far away wera nice and sweet. Not usually a problem for me since I treat all water going into the tank with Hydrogen Peroxide. But I see and smell some others struggling with horrible water and having to buy water by the litre. ...

Hi Everyone, I'm struggling a bit with this decision and would value some input. I'll try to make it simple. We are looking to buy a Fiat Ducato Campervan. Either the 6 m or 6.4 m length. The layout (and price) we like is from Avan. We also looked at Avida and Jayco. But there is an 18 month + waiting list...

I have a friend who lives in a caravan park in Sydney. He owns a caravan with a shower and toilet (can't be towed .... needs to be placed on a vehicle for removal). There's also an attached hard annex that's 3 x 5 metres, a carport, and a small shed ... all needing dismantling. He paid $29,000 for everything...

Sadly passed by another roll over today, about halfway between Camooweal and the Barkley Roadhouse on the Barkley Highway. Their Prado did not roll but the Jayco Expanda they were towing had definitely seen better days and was totaled. No one hurt which is very good news, but that's the end of their h...

Hello all. I am seeking advice concerning the fixing up of my 2007 NPR 400 Alpine (31ft dual slide). I would prefer help from owners of the same model who have done the work themselves or in conjunction with trade pro's but you never know who is out there that may have a light bulb moment. I am often out of in...

Backlash as popular Aussie spot shuns tourists: Watch the town die! (yahoo.com) So sad. I have stayed at this camp a number of times on my way across west. Seems a bit senseless. Wonder what the whole story is. Making travelling more and more difficult. Caravan Park was mentioned. Think its onl...

TV, aerial and channel tuning: The only time I have ever been able to get TV channels on my caravan TV, has been whilst parked in the driveway at home.

There's a strange dearth of repairers in Adelaide. Everyone I call refers me to someone else. Who refers me to someone else. Who says they can't do it. I hit an overhanging branch while parking. Crack isn't even that bad. I'll also need some work on the door which, separately, I managed to smack when i...
