JAYCO has issued a nationwide recall of more than 700 caravans and campers after fears axles could slip out of alignment. According to a company safety alert, axle U-bolt nuts on vehicles with chassis nu...

Is anyone using the new Camps Australia app, for Iphone and Ipad . Is it worth the $52 plus extra for updates. Would like to hear from someone that is travelling at the moment and using it. Is it Camps 6 or later. We are using Wikicamps at the moment. thanks

Gday... Just like that bad penny, I have turned up at Green's Lake. Have had a bit of a walk around and said Gday to a few of the GNs who are keeping the place active. It is certainly hot here at the moment with even an even hotter day forecast for tomorrow - I thought I had left this heat behind at Normanton Ch...

We are still trying to decide exactly what to put in our Viscount and I am hoping your answers to these few questions, might just make it easier. How often do you cook in your van?

As I said in another post, we have finally acquired a rig - an 11.5 tonne, 8.5m bus. It is dead sexy! However, on the way home, the GPS and local information from Visitor Centres saw us in a few sticky spots - we need dedicated big rig GPS maps - so probably a new GPS. We currently have a Navman MY65T, which i...
