To settle an argument: Are the corner stabilizers primarily designed to be used to level the van on slopey surfaces or are they to stop movement when occupants move around inside the van? Brodie

Newbie here, first time poster. Hoping I am not breaking any forum protocols.

. A friend of mine suggested I post here to see if there are any travelling builders, maybe semi retired, or simply travelling around and doing work along the way. I have a shack at Big Bend, a very popular Murray River l...

For the last few weeks we have been going through the excercise of setting up our new van for an extended trip. My wife reckons that I am paranoid about weights so for peace of mind we decided to engage a company called Auswide Weighing Services to check 1) we are legal 2) our load is balanced correctly. ...

I purchased a Netgear Nighthawk about 6 years ago and it is the Mk1 version. About 12 months ago after leaving it plugged in to mains power for extended periods the battery swelled up to the extent it would not fit into the Nighthawk case. I was advised by Telstra that they did not make replacement batter...

Hi there, currently looking at a Motorhome from the USA, where could I get a step down box to run 240 V down to 110 V and can I plug the 240 V into the side of the Motorhome. Cheers Deno

Without question I am seeing more caravans, a lot more, on the road now than in my previous near 30 years living in Oz. At this time of the year it seems most of those vans are in NW Victoria with me! Over the past two days driving I have passed dozens of vans travelling in the opposite direction and I guess ab...

Seeking advice from those that might know. I have a brand new (unopened in box) HR WDH model number 76003 as pictured. I dont need these and considering selling.

I usually camp in forest for a few weeks or months at a time. My drinking water needs are met by the 200L caravan tanks which last for two weeks or more by which time I need food/booze anyway so drive into town and fill 110L of plastic containers with potable water and pump that into the caravan tanks. Non po...

Hi, New here (First post) but I have been lurking for a couple of weeks. I'm now retired and have been camping for most of my life. But as I get older I'm starting to look for a few more "comforts". The Mrs is a "comfort" girl too, that's for sure. And since she's a good cook need her to be happy too! So we are...

I tow a large kayak behind my 8 metre Winny. I am planning a Tassie trip next year and have done the maths and it would cost an arm and two legs to take it on the ferry on a trailer across to Tassie. It needs to go on the roof. Does any know who would fit roof bars to the motorhome so that I can attach something like...

I was looking at replacing my Carefree awning and contacted a local caravan repairer. He told me that it had been very difficult to obtain Carefree parts and there had not been any around for months. He also let me know that a shipment of about 700 had now arrived into Aus and the supply would now be okay....

First up, Wifi, Broadband, bluetooth, all this stuff is rocket science to me. I don't know why but I cannot get my head around it.

Hi All How to 'see' Australia in a Motorhome? My wife and I have never towed, never motorhome toured but are looking at buying a motorhome, say around 24 to 25 footer, perhaps Merc based RWD.
