G'day all Our motorhome is now 18 yrs old and clocked up close to 1/2-million km. Overall it has done great service - it's a Ford Transit by the way - and although it has had a few issues along the way, over the last couple of years the driver's seat forward / backward adjustment has been a bit dicky ... somet...

Hi all, I'm kinda new to all this so you'll have to excuse my lack of knowledge. My wife and I (in our early 50's) plan to buy a 4wd and van and start traveling around the country.

Wondering if anyone has done this kind of trip - say a couple of months long at least - and solely stayed in accommodation along the way ... eg cabins, motels etc? We have a dual cab ute, with a canopy. As we would be bringing our small senior dog, we realise we would have fewer options, and would need to seek...

Hi fellow nomads I am trying to make a booking at Lake Argyle Resort but they tell me that they only take a limited number of bookings per day and then it is first come first serve.

Yesterday evening, Thursday 13th May 2021 at about 8.00pm I was sitting by my campfire beside Baillieu Lagoon approximately 25km north west of Echuca, Victoria. It was the night of a new moon and therefore dark, it had been a cloudy day but by 8pm the cloud had half cleared and some stars were visible. A...

Hi all, Been tidying up my old 2004 Jayco Freedom Poptop. The previous owner had siliconed everywhere and in large quantities and this was dirty, discoloured and messy not to mention applied and smeared very thickly. Trying to clean it up before putting new silicone in, I tried lots of options includ...

I was wondering if anyone has had much to do with Iveco vehicles and their opinion of them. I'm looking at the smaller Daily vans than the long wheelbase high roof ones. Would appreciate some thoughts. -- Edited by jetj on Monday 13th of January 2014 10:30:59 PM
