I know this subject will have been well canvassed before, so don't moan at me for asking:) We recently stayed in a C/P and despite doing the usual things (water in trays under feet etc) we have been invaded by large sized ants.

What cover do you have and who insures you? Had a 'whoopsie' the other day. The second nuisance in 200kms. I was feeling clean, precious, annoyed and didn't want to change a wheel, especially when I saw the spare was full of red dirt from WA and realised the hub nut screw was jammed in. So I called RACV for...

Hi my wife and I have bought a caravan again after many years of not having one. The van we have is a Viscount aero lite 14.6ft. It will do us for now. My wife has about 5 years of work to go before she can retire. Then we will probably buy a better van. The question I have is why are caravans so expensive in Aust...
