Handyman jobs whilst travelling
(Preview)
Whilst travelling Ive looked at many ads for help wanted on this forum. Can someone please explain why it always seems that there is always a lopsided arrangement in favour of the advertiser eg for a van site (power/water) that there seems to be the expectation of a few hours work per day handyman/gard...

Yep this is yet another photo from a set I took to tell the authorities if the out come came to the attention of the coroner's court. How not to fit a set of Kings air bags with your kids under the bloody car with you at the same time. Taken in WA earlier this year while away. Grey

caravan and boat?

Hi All,
I am a keen boater, and want to take my dinghy with me on a proposed 12mth plus trip next year.
At the waterhole at Camooweal recently I saw a Corker Camper, which was a large caravan with a dinghy and trailer inserted in the rear.
Would appreciate any info as I've drawn a blank with my searches

Tow vehicle heavier than van
(Preview)
We are all told that the tow vehicle should be at least 10% heavier than the van we are towing and I don't doubt that for one moment. What I would like to know is the scientific reason a semi trailer prime mover can be less in weight that its trailer let alone with a B-Double or a Road Train. Just curious.

Rig must be correctly balanced.
(Preview)
Talking to a fellow the other day, a campervan towing a trailer. To get the trailer to clear the rear doors of the van, is using two tow bar extenders. To off set the added tow ball weight because of the extensions, he's going to put water tanks on the rear of the trailer. Will end up being quite a tidy rig.
