Does anyone know what type of RV 's are allowed to stay in these parks? Are they only for motorhomes or are you allowed if you have a portable toilet and a means of collecting your grey water? Has anyone stayed in them recently? Cheers Chris and Peter

Hey, how many of you use coin operated laundromats to do your washing? And when there aren't any around what do you do? I've found there are fewer and fewer laundromats to be found and have resorted to doing mine in a bucket with a plunger, but wringing the cloths out is really hard work. I'm thinking of...

Hi ... A friend was preparing his vehicle in readiness for hooking up a new caravan. Much to his horror he found cracks on both chassis rails of his Navara King Cab Ute. I haven't had a look at it yet so am just going on his verbal descriptions of the issue. I see lots of newish Utes pulling vans and wonder h...
