Dolly · Dolly

Hi all, My wife and I are thinking about Melbourne Cup 2015 on a return trip from SA to Brisbane and wondering if anyone has a few suggestions about where we could camp up and either drive or Train to Flemington. We have never had the opportunity to go to the big day and thought this could be our chance. Hope...

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, We have just cut short our first trip in our new Cub Camper - Spacematic Drover Off Road. We enjoyed 5 lovely days there, but today had a horrible experience.

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...
