Wanted something which was not bulky and photo elec one caught my eye as it had a 10 year lithium battery sealed inside. installed it in the van and certainly is not very big. Took a com...

It maybe my imagination, but since I have been a member, the members on here seem to be putting up more and more threads which are just a link to another web site, but not including any of their own content at all. That will not be a problem for those with unlimited internet time, but for those who have limit...

We are in Ballina, wanting to head to Glen Innes, Tamworth on way south, towing 22ft caravan. Don't mind travelling south on Pacific Highway to cross over to New England if it means less mountainous and windy road. In no hurry to get there.

Gday... I was sitting under my awning, enjoying the warm early morning sun and a cuppa, and I noticed that my camp had had some visitors during the night. Sprinkled throughout the grass was the evidence. Little black balls of rabbit droppings and some larger ones left by the grazing roos. As I was admir...

Not really keen on staying in Caravan Parks being squashed and living in the neighbours lap, but the closest National Park I can find is about 45kl away, does anyone know of any places to stay closer to the Gold Coast we are planning on meeting up with our daughter in town for a few days in June.

Hi Guys, I want to a buy either a towing rope or snatch strap just in case I need to be towed for what ever reason or get bogged. I don't want cheap or high cost. Any ideas, looked at Dyneema rope but think it will be at premium price also not sure what would be a suitable length. Thanks John.
