We bought a new 2kg gas bottle to replace our out of date one that we use for our small camping appliances.

I'm thinking about having a reversing camera fitted to my Colorado and the new van when my wife and I buy it in a few months. Are they a must have if you own a van or are they just another accessory you really don't need.

We're getting ready for another adventure on the Highways and Byways, So I've been keeping a close watch on the price of Diesel Fuel.

I am sure there are other names that could be used for this type of camping, and we have had polls in the past for some of the names, I thought it may be time for another. Please feel free to comment or add other names in posts etc; -- Edited by Vic41 on Sunday 30th of March 2014 10:44:40 PM
