I presently have a vinyl tonneau cover on my D Max that is starting to come to the end of its days. I have thought about getting a canopy but with the extra weight added to the other junk that I cart around in the tub together with some of the reports I have read here about the inaccessibility of things that ar...

Hello all, Has anyone with a Windsor Seka Pop Top changed their 3 way Dometic fridge to a VitriFrigo 150i compressor unit? We are having a cooling system blockage in the Dometic for the second time and seeing as we will not be using the caravan for free camping we feel a compressor unit is the way to go. Ple...

Im not sure which category this post should go in and I feel a bit silly even asking the question, but has anyone ever heard of the caravan Campar website?

Best friend is looking to buy a hybrid camper/van. One of those that is like a little caravan, but with external pull out kitchen. Given her budget, is looking at a 13foot model from Fantasy - tare weight 1800, ATM 2750, ball weight 210. This one seems to have reasonable storage and comes with an impress...

I'm looking at buying 200W to 300W of solar blanket but it appears to be a minefield. E-bay feedback on many vendors strongly suggest they are simply lying about the blanket's output often suggesting twice, or more!, what the blanket is capable of. Kings (4WDSupacentre) who I though were OK receive *...

I am genuinely puzzled as to how vehicle manufacturers determine the (braked) towing capacity of their models. Here are some examples which, to my mind, are inconsistent and/or contradictory:- 2008 Mitsubishi 380 - kerb weight 1,665 kgs - engine power 175 kw / 343 nm - towing capacity 1,600 kgs 2...

I've just switched my phone to a Woolworth plan simply because they are offering a 10% discount on shopping once a month. I have been a Woolworth shopper for years and prefer them to Coles and they are generally one hell of a lot cheaper than IGAs; I spend around $400 to $500 per month on food (I eat well :) )...

Hi, The 15-month old mattress in my caravan has deformed due to bad design and poor mattress support (flexi-slats, not a solid base) and is slowly destroying my wifes back.

Over the last few years there is clearly a trend to have so called "off road" suspension. They are everything you dont want on any sort of trailer if you want the safest. They are non load sharing (load not even even on all tyres, they are higher (more unstable), and have high traction tyres (what for). ...
