Dear all, sorry about this stupid question however, I need to sort it out in my (Old) head. We have a 23 foot Van Royce Series 6 van (Second hand from a motor home dealer). I cannot quite understand the wiring. It has one battery and a "smart charger" in the boot. The only 240 volt items are the...

Mainly following the coastal route, with detours to the Blue Mountains, Armidale and up towards Paluma. Arriving Cairns on the 30th April. We pick up the van and plan to head down to Phillip Island, se...

Hi guys, as you might remember we have now sold our van and tug. What I forgot to say was we sold it on Gum Tree. I was doing an add up to put on RV Point at a cost of $150. Before I put it on, a mate said he sold his through Gum Tree and to give it a go. I got three hits from OS before the ad went on line here. But I sold it i...

I know this isn't a selling site but I would really need some leads as to web sites and/or car yards that sell 2nd hand campervans around Melbourne. I'm looking for a second hand automatic vehicle (preferably a Hi Ace but I'm open to other possibilities. I've been hunting for a while but keep strik...

Heading West from Ocean Grove to revisit the Coorong and up to Adelaide to catch up with family and for their Caravan and Camping Show. Something a bit different than going to the Melbourne Show each year. Anybody got any favorite free camps down along the coast of S.A?

Just fitted a 1hp Teco household air coan unit to my van. The unit cost me $617 and $350 to fit. Did some of the work myself like mounting the external unit where the spare wheel was (about the same weight) and now need to remount the spare wheel. When this thing is really pumping you cannot hear it going, th...
