A large flock of sulphur-crested c0ckatoos have developed a new game, it's called "Let's sit high in the trees directly over Harding's camp crapping on his solar panels and driving him crazy with screeching until he leaps up and down flapping his arms like a demented eagle".

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.....

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...

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.

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...
