Hi All, Just wondering about Dometics new dust reduction system. Looks great. Has anyone installed one yet and if so what are the results. Have had our fair share of dust in the past and heading for the tip next winter.

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.

Hi All I'm looking at replacing all 6 of my motorhome tyres. Tyre place recommended Toyo which I know is a good brand but as a cheaper alternative he recommended RADAR ARGINITE which I've never heard of. Has anyone come across them or have any useful info about them good or bad. Thanks in advance Di

Hi all Nomads. We have a Jayco Destiny with a light brown rippled front that has faded badly and I would like to paint it but not sure what to use. Does anyone have any suggestions please.
