We have recently been up north in our newly-purchased 9yr old Conquest. The plastic LH tail-light cluster fell off when we were travelling on some roadworks (not particularly rough). I have never been fond of the plastic rear end so I'm thinking it's time for a modification or three. Has anyone had a s...

I was not allowed in Bunnings unless I have a trade pass on Sydney northern beaches. I do have an ABN number for architectural model making & needed materials but that is not good enough. -- Edited by Whenarewethere on Tuesday 31st of August 2021 09:30:13 AM

Spent one night at this place recently. There were probably 200 RVs here. I took pics of 4 of the 6 RVs that were close to us. 2 minutes later there was a pool a metre wide. Cheers, Peter -- Edited by Peter_n_Margaret on Tuesday 24th of August 2021 08:38:13 AM

I was told that a MH that's on a truck chassis will incur truck rego while something like a bus with a bed in it only needs a car rego. I live in QLD so if anyone kno...

Just bought our second campervan. First time around was a Mercedes Sprinter and this time a cheaper, smaller Mazda E2000. It comes with a solar panel that can attach to some brackets on the roof but the seller said she'd kept it loose in the van and just plugged it in when she stopped. Question is; what do...
