I live in WA and I am purchasing a brand new caravan in NSW, so it won't be licensed in NSW (I will have a 5 day travel permit). As we intend to pick up the caravan and travel up the East Coast, is it possible to license the caravan in WA while we are interstate? Any advise would be much appreciated.

Just bought an accessory solar blanket. It has an attached controller. Should i just bypass this controller since the main collectors on the roof feed into controllers anyway. Two controllers seems unnecessary? Young Brodie

The Boss and I are hoping to spend some time in Europe next year and were thinking of renting a Campervan in France. The rental market looks like a bit of a mine field!

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. ...
