Off Grid Campervan - with No Toilet or Shower?
(Preview)
OK, this is probably a really dumb question from a Newbie at this. But I'm shopping around for a used Campervan (not motorhome) whilst we wait for our new one 'sometime' in the next 14-18 months..... So I see a lot of van 'conversions' of the DIY variety. These tend to be van conversions of Sprinters and...

Solution to Off-Grid Water Supply?

Just found this site on the Internet: https://www.livingvehicle.com (Sorry if the link doesn't work - for some reason I couldn't copy and paste the site name.) The site is an American one for ultra luxurious vans. But what is of interest is that one of the features offered is a self contained water gen...

Has anyone used a TRX UHF 5 Watt CB Radio? I saw them half price and I thought they might be good for chatting to other vehicles. I want a hand held CB Radio so that I don't have to install one into my car. I wondered if anyone has experience with this model? https://trx.com.au/5-watt-uhf-cb-radio-bl...

Do you carry a bike to get around on
(Preview)
The iconic *postie bike* is to be phased out to be replaced by battery power. They are almost a collectors item now so those travellers using them for personal commuting might have a little windfall in the future. The new electric bikes can carry more parcels than mums shopping car. Read it here https...

Swift 500 cooker fault
(Preview)
I was only made aware of this today, by word of mouth. Apparently the Swift 500 caravan cooker is not too be used until a full investigation is completed, as they can explode. I am amazed that this information has been better publicised, I would expect the caravan sellers would be aware of it, and s...

Do members get any insight into other members from the avatars? I see opinions are developed about members from posted comments but what about from the avatars displayed.

Accelerate or not
(

(Preview)
There was a segment on Channel 10, The Project tonight on caravan rollovers. A guy who rolled his van said he accelerated to try and prevent the sway from getting bigger. Question: should you accelerate out of the sway or just take your foot off the accelerator to slow down. I expect the use of the brake i...

Campervan on a Train?
(Preview)
OK, might sound a bit wacky. Just a thought. We can't really take months off work at this stage, but 2-3 weeks is manageable. If I wanted to drive from Sydney to Perth for example, but come back on the train. Is that doable? Or a mad idea? For a Sprinter size campervan (not motor home) Just found a random s...
