Hi All There may be similar State Govt concessions in other States, but as I live in WA, and know of these ones, this is for the benefit of those over the age of 60 years and not in full time employment. 1.

Gday... I have just found something very interesting that I was completely unaware of. Indeed, I had been told from the beginning that black water from toilet cassettes could NOT be dumped into septic systems or pit toilets. In fact, there are usually signs also stating that at pit toilets and sept...

In my yet-to-be purchased caravan, I would like to travel on gravel roads and dirt tracks occasionally. I don't need a go-anywhere off-road caravan, and they tend to be heavy and expensive. So 'semi-offroad' seems a nice compromise. But what actually makes a caravan semi-offroad? From my wand...

Some parking areas say self contained vehicles only. When is a vehicle not self contained? Does it mean no grey water is to be released or what ? -- Edited by Wandering Whitfields on Saturday 11th of June 2016 12:09:40 PM

When I designed my 3.2 metres long van (1.9H, 1.9W) we did so incorporating a shower and port a potti. I'm not posting to brag about my design ability but this shower tray measurement is 960x565mm. That area allows for the potti, shower and the convenience of turfing wet clothes and shoes when needed....

Once more asking those in the know. The van we are getting will have a roll out awning and we are planning on just getting a privacy sun shade. My question is would we really need an Anti Flap Kit?

I am heading to the Brisbane Caravan Show on Wednesday and Thursday of this week to look at caravans in the 17' to 21' range.
