Hi Folks, A question on beds. I've been looking at some KEA Nomad Campervans, with the idea of getting a 2nd hand one. But rather than have the club lounge seats and table at the rea of the cabin, that convert to a bed, I'd prefer a permanent bed. Not that keen on sleeping on seats cushions. Simplistically...

Just curious. As I look online at 2nd hand Campervans for sale, (hoping to buy one) there are a lot with Manual Transmission. Whilst I can drive a manual, I haven't owned one in ......... 40 years? I just wondered what the attraction was with manuals. It is more control, less likely to bog, something els...

We tend to drive in regional rather than remote areas, so the ability to easily park in towns is important to us. But how long is too long? Any thoughts or a...

Would welcome comments regarding ground conditions in general locale central Queensland especially. Are they mudholes or easily negotiable without sinking in the ground. Same for grassy vanparks. ????

The release valve seems to be stuck when I attempt to lower the van. I have managed to release it before and the van came flying down to the ground! Not good at all. Any advice on how to slowly lower it will be great. Cheers
