My daughter has a 1980 Windsor POP83a van she wants to sell, and she's been asked the tare weight. There's no VIN plate and no handbook. Googling has led me nowhere. Does anyone know where I can get this info please?

Parked in this farmers paddock a couple of weeks ago, Wednesday the 27th of November actually, when SWMBO turned the Ibis Aircon on. BANG. Loud noise, no 240volt. Came to Esperance after leaving the job and got an electrician to isolate the air con. Had McKenzies Electrical and Air Conditioning come...

Across the way a young couple have checked into an on-site cabin and have now run a cord out of the cabin to their electric vehicle. I guess it will charge over night and cost the caravan park about 10...

Just read the story about 'putting your feet up' in the front section of the forum. Well, if the picture shown of the driver with his feet up on the dash straddling the steering wheel is an example of what we can expect, we should all be very worried. The picture clearly shows the vehicle well over the cent...

AdBlue shortage most of it comes from China. Surprise surprise! Pissing in your tank will only give you 2% urea, you need 32%. Luckily I'm petrol.

I have been asked by Roma Caravans to sound out owners of Roma caravans to see if there is enough interest in setting up a Roma owners caravan club. This could be a stand alone club, or may be an owners group within the Australian Caravan Club (Subject to their Rules). That decision would have to be made by...

We have now had our Winnebago Coogee for 3 months and just got back from a 7k trip around Qld. When you purchase a new product of any sort you expect some issues that will crop up, we understand that. A large mass hurtling down the highway at 100kph, you would expect things to move or come loose. Most of thes...
