A big g'day to you, too! And so say all of us, Amen. Remember those luggage racks for Kombi poptops, the ones that were fixed over the cab leaving room for the poptop to operate? I had one made years ago. Now I'd like something similar for my single cab Courier with slide-on. The slide-on sits about a foot h...

Folks, so....here we are, our Electrolux 4400 has all been fixed and has been running great to be honest.

Hi all, Have a friend who is parking his caravan up & we aren't sure how to handle the deep cycle batteries. Should we disconnect everything or should we leave it all connected to the solar panels to keep full charge. There won't be any discharge from the batteries for many months. Cheers

My old water heater ,a Carver which Coromal from WA used to import from the UK a few years ago but no longer do. Well it's decided it's had it's day and is leaking badly.
