Hi Grey Nomads, Our campervan is due a service, before our next trip away, and we are thinking a mobile repairer would be more cost effective than the last place we took our van too. It was our first service on a new Campervan and cost us $300!!! Can anyone recommend a mobile service/repairer? Thanks...

Can anyone tell me if a 100cm or 150cm pole carrier will fit along the gap in front of van, between the front end gap and tow area? The retailer doesn't know and it would save having to buy and return a 150 if only the 100 will fit. thanks.
