Firstly, before someone says this topic has been done to death, I did a search for "towing mirrors" (answer: sorry no topic), I then just put "mirrors" (sorry no topic) which I find hard to believe. Anyway we bought some Milenco towing mirrors which clamp on to our Pajero Sports Exceed mirrors. I didn'...

Why is it that, when pulling a caravan, the road before you has so many hills and you think to yourself that when I traveled back it will have so many downhills, yet you find out on the way back there so many hills still ahead of you

After RVing in the USA for 20+ years and seeing all the 5th wheelers over there I wonder why they haven't taken on here? They have lots of benefits over a caravan. Shorter overall length for the same living area and way more stable when towing. So what am I missing?

Fro anyone living in Queensland, give very serious consideration to joining RACQ. Early this month a radiator hose blew off a connection due to it never having been reconnected properly by a repairer some months earlier. Of course all the fluid was lost in seconds.

Hi all, I just found out that our insurance policies for both the car and caravan don't cover damage caused by rodents.

We have a Jayco Silverline 24.75 (ft) (8.8 meters overall length), which tows beautifully, but we are over weight, by doing some weight cutting mods, we may (I do mean may and maybe not) be able to get down to a combined mass of 6000kg. The other alternative is to down size, and I would be looking at a Jayco...
