Might come as perhaps a ridiculous question but over the years I have noticed a bit of arrogance or snobbish behaviour when it comes to the size of ones caravan or in my case lack of one !! I drive a small campervan which was bought new in 2011 fitted out by myself the same year and for 2 people meets all our...

just a quick question about the location of our spare 9 Kg gas bottle. We have a third bottle that is used for our instant gas hot water heater and small portable gas BBQ. We already have two bottles on the A frame for stove and Gas fridge when we are not moving ( we run our 3 way fridge on 12 volts when travelin...

OK, I posted this bit of info about a year ago, and thought it might be worth sharing again. For those having trouble backing their caravan in beside a slab, I came up with this method about 20 years ago and it worked perfectly for me. I cut a piece of rope about 8 or 10 foot long. Then I measured the over all ou...

Hi, We purchased a Bailey Pursuit at the weekend and looking for a bit of guidance. We will be towing with a 2013 Falcon XR6. This is our first van and we have very little towing experience. We will be booking a Tow-Ed course before we use it. I would like to know a couple of things before we pick up the van 1. T...

Hi Everyone I Trust that you are all enjoying your travels. Quick question - did you take an additional spare tyre for your 4x4 when travelling. We do have one and as we have not used it in several short trips (1 month each time) we are wondering do we need it as it is just extra weight to cart around, or sho...

Anyone out there used one of these 4x4 Water bladders for extra water. We were thinking instead of taking a hard plastic 60L water tank for roof rack that perhaps one of these water bladders would be better and when not required we can collapse it, but if need water when out driving for the day then we alw...

Being of a more interesting age I have been having difficulty lifting my spare wheel. The carrier seems to be much further from the ground,and the wheel has increased in weight or so it seems. How heavy is it? To my surprise my spare weighs 46 Kg, or two and a bit jerry cans full. I can, but prefer not to, lif...

Hi, I'm going on my first trip from NSW to WA. I'm driving a 4WD that has a bed frame built in the back. I was just wondering when booking a site at a caravan park, would I book a camping site, or a caravan site? I was thinking it would most likely be a camping site as I won't need to be hooked up to anything, but...
