Hey All I'm new to the site and am hoping someone has experience repairing a fridge that's stopped working. Gas and 12v are Ok so I suspect the 250 volt heater coil. I did see some negative press about the suitability of these coils (being designed to operate on US voltages) and wondered how I would go if I...

We recently purchased a 2006 Jayco Stirling, the tyres look good with heaps of tread but suspect they are the originals as we had a blowout on a recent trip, so we are wishing to replace them. Can anyone please recommend a good brand tyre? And not too expensive? Thanks

Why can't I buy a set of rear helper springs for a RG Colorado 2014 ? I have tried Fulcrum, Peddars and Ironman and they all want to sell me $2 to $3000.00 total upgrades where as all I need is about a 25mm lift. Thanks all in advance. Regards Phil.

This is our system of transferring water from a container into the van or collecting water from a creek etc. We have been using this method for quite some time and it works really well.

We had a problem with our breakaway battery losing it's charge when the van was not in use, to overcome this we came up with a simple solution using a 10 watt solar panel with its own regulator connected to a lead outside the van using a cigarette lighter socket. This keeps the battery fully charged, pro...
