CONGRATULATIONS TO WISE NOMADS!
(Preview)

(Preview)
I find it interesting... this afternoon I checked to see who was online. There were 7 'members' on line (most of whom I had never heard of) - and tonight as I look, none of them contributed. So I was pleased to see who was online tonight...the ones who 'talk'. It's made my day.

Motorhome Repairs Bundaberg

Can anyone remember the name of a motorhome repairer in Bundaberg who highly recommended on this forum by quite a few nomads a while ago. I have been through Recommendations and Techies Corner to no avail. I have tried the search button to no avail. I'm thinking these words weren't put in the heading. Q...

Technical problem
(Preview)
Our car indicators work when connected to the caravan but as soon as the car starts, the indicators stop working. We've even tried a new plug. Can anyone possibly help? Our car is a 2010 XTrail and the van is a Jayco Freedom.

Hi Everyone, Thank for the your previous advice. This Forum has proved to be very valuable to Mark and Myself. It has helped us along our journey. We have stayed in about 50/50 Free Camps and Caravan Parks. I never thought I would say this but.... most of the free parks have been better than the paid ones....

Jayco Penguin - Raising Roof Etc
(Preview)
I am just wondering how hard is it to raise the roof on a Jayco Penguin (I think that is the one with no ends sticking out?). Also does the winder mechanism ever give trouble and if it does can you still raise the roof by another method??? Thanks
