ID:154040 - Caravan swaying from 85klm/ph

Member - Broodie H3 — Thu, 22 Oct 2026 21:18:00 GMT

Hi all you travellers,
We have purchased a new caravan from a long standing reputable manufacturer in Victoria. No name no pack drill at this stage, We have had the van for nearly 9 months and we are still working through some of the warranty issues we are having, so far so good.
the issue is how do you stop caravan sway. We have owned two othe caravans and niether of them swayed like this one does. if the water tanks are empty or full it will sway over 85 klm/ph, fill the tanks both to the max gives you 190litres, then you can tow to ninety klm/ph. put 70 kilos of fire wood in the front a frame wood holder and you can tow to around 95 unless you are going down hill then you have to drop down to around 70to 80 klm/ph depending on the incline or decline. wheel alingment is ok not perfect but ok. tyre pressures when we took delivery were 55 psi front left 40psi rearleft front right 65 psi, rear right did not know as my pressure gauge could not register the pressure until I let the tyre down to 80psi now all tyre are running at 45 psi. put extra pressure in the rear tyres of our landcruiser, bringing them up to 50 psi. the van is coil independant suspension. Our previous suspension has bee simplicity suspension one van was a roadstar the second van was an atlantic, never had a sway issue with either van even up to 120 klm/ph.
any thoughts on how to rectify this delema would be greatly appreciated

ID:154031 - Place Comment: Opalton Designated Fossicking Area

Member - Poodle — Sun, 18 Oct 2026 12:21:00 GMT

Opalton is extremely remote and HOT, leave pets at home! Large free camping area exists though you can camp almost anywhere nearby. A small info centre exists which sells some cans of cold drink and locally acquired opals - most visitors gather there for an afternoon drink and chat. Enjoy large clean showers and toilets. Rain water for use. Mobile reception varies but exists. A local runs free opal fossicking tours.

ID:154028 - Travelling App

Jason S28 — Thu, 22 Oct 2026 05:35:00 GMT

Hi All

I've been looking for an app to help me in my travels. Record trips, find places, navigate, maps that work offline.

Had tried all the main ones - hema etc.

I've come across what appears to be a relatively new one called Just Tracks in the iphone app store.

It does offline maps, trip recording but also shows fuel prices, road hazards and incidents, and has places which show campsites, places you can get water for your caravan or dump points, public toilets, cloud sync

Wondering if anyone has any experience with it and used it on a decent trip and how well it worked?
