Just been browsing through the birthday calendar on here, there are so many names that we don't see much of, some who used to post quite a lot, and some I have never seen post at all, well not that I remember anyway. I wonder why people drop off forums, is it because they stop travelling? Or they only post w...

I know these are used in some vw campervans currently being fitted out as a cheaper option than gas.. I'm interested in experience. I don't like my little cheapie gas one with the $2 cans as its not very good for simmering corned beef etc. I don't have the space for carrying gas. Thought I may buy a single o...

Hi all, I have searched the forum but have not found an answer yet. We are thinking of changing the 15 year old Electrolux fridge in our Coromal. Our previous van had a 2012 Thetford which barely kept up up north. I am aware of the "T" rating so will go for that for sure, but can I have some opin...

I plan to go to the Moto GP next year in 2015 in my Winnebago. I have read some forums that say the parking area can become a quagmire if it rains. Are they talking about the bike area only. If any readers have had the experience could they give me the benefit of their knowledge as to where to go, when to arrive...

This is not really a "Techie" question so asking here. Does anyone have or know anything about the Hema N6 or other Hema GPS please. I currently have the Navman My75 but can't do any map updates so looking at upgrading. Thought of the Garman and even a newer Navman. Any thoughts?

Can anyone help me find that article please? We are trying to demon...
