The colours are stunning. Pity we cannot free camp there. Need a permit to go to the area. On across an extremely dry...

Since retiring from full time work last year, my wife and I have started researching the purchase of a new caravan. We're leaning towards a tandem axle offroad van as we like the idea of free camping and expect to purchase a new unit later this year. I'm puzzled about the apparently low usage of disc brak...

Hi We are wanting to buy a van. We would like to start off slowly and do 2 and 3 week trips, then slowly build up to the big one. We have been looking at vans but they are all very expensive.

It's time again to replace tyres. I have been told goodrich ATKO are the way to go but they look fairly chunky to me and I am concerned about road noise. Almost all our driving is on good roads. Does anyone have any comment on these or other tyres. They are about $400 each.

Before you all PM me yelling at me for this long update, I apologise in advance but so much to pass on, sorry all. As I said last week I was leaving Greens Lake Tuesday April 2 and me and myself didn't argue, they must have wanted to get under way as well. I think the three of us want to get to the warmer climate...
