Will have to keep looking through the fence palings u...

We just bought a new Supreme 'van and have had the usual Aussie made problems with it. Sadly, the quality is not matched to the price we paid for it, but talking to independent caravan repairers, all of the 'van makers are pretty much the same - charge heaps and average to poor quality. Be aware that the w...

The caravan's been sitting at home for three months now with its only trip from the dealer to home. We set off tomorrow on the maiden voyage, just a couple of days to park on the banks of the Blackwood River, most probably Alexandra Road Bridge. I'm really looking forward to it.
