Can any one direct me to the area dealing with how is the best way to handle solid human waste when free camping. We have a portaloo but but after a few days cleaning out the smell I would think could be a problem. Checked under several common names for it but found nothing to help Thanks all

I am curious if anyone on here has had to isolate whilst on the road. Where did you go/stay and how did you get on? I know some have the set ups to go bush for a while, but not all can do that or you're not in the right location. So tell us your hints, tips, ideas and practical solutions. Thanks.

I don't really want to go above 2750kg ATM. What are the pros / cons of single / tandem axle? I know manoeuvring a...

I recently added 2maxtrax to the roof of my car and I just got back from my 1st trip with them (used them to get someone else out of being bogged in the sand) and now the alarm on my car keeps going off.

My Dometic compressor fridge (2019 model) has a freezer that is icing up during extended use, say more than 2 weeks continuous use. It is also causing moisture build up in the main fridge causing paper products (e.g. egg cartons) to get very damp. Other than obviously defrosting the freezer (which ma...

It's happened again. Last week I camped at the Tallangatta (Victoria) Showgrounds, this is a large grassed area (25 acres?) with power and water points around most of its expanse, one may camp anywhere, no designated spots. I had been there for eight days camped 20m from a single woman, she had her car...

We are half way through our 5th year on the road. When we changed from a converted bus to a 4wd & a Tvan motorhoming friends thought we wouldn't last more than 6 months in such a small living space.
