As everyone in Australia knows, the weather can change dramatically throughout the year. Everyone will have their favourite season to take out the RV for a free camping adventure across the country. Today, we are going to talk you through the pros and cons of each season, what weather you can expect, people’s favourite places to take out the RV, and most importantly, the types of crowds you’d expect to find on an RV holiday in Each Season.

A well-organised, adventure-filled RV trip is perhaps the greatest way a family with children can experience the fun and freedom of camping without straying too far away from essential amenities. But RV camping with kids can sometimes be hard to pin down and plan for because kids are all different. Some will be excited beyond words to learn there is a camping trip in the works, whereas others will groan and roll their eyes. This largely depends on their ages, but there are some tips and tricks worth having up your sleeve to keep them active and entertained.

An RV is much like a house on wheels. It’s a holiday home that facilitates exploration which can give you years of enjoyment for the whole family. Much like a home, your RV will need certain maintenance procedures to prolong its lifespan, giving you many additional years of comfort and freedom.

Being proactive when it comes to maintenance is the best way to ensure that your RV will never let you down. In this blog, we will discuss how to extend the lifespan of your RV with preventative maintenance so that your vehicle will continue to serve you for years to come.

It’s no secret the great island of Australia is special and different in many ways, with its vast, featureless expanses, pristine, isolated beaches, and humid rainforests. The range of habitats could scarcely be more varied, nor the diverse plethora of wildlife. As far as we’re concerned here at RV Parts Express, there is no finer way to visit areas of extreme natural beauty, teeming with fascinating wildlife, than to venture forth in a trusty RV. The freedom you have is second to none and, as long as the vehicle can handle the roads and you are fully kitted out, there’s almost nowhere you can’t feasibly go.

There are few places on Earth where it pays to be more aware of the extremes Mother Nature is capable of producing than Australia. Here at RV Express, we put together a list of precautionary steps you should consider before embarking on any RV trip and how to best prepare yourself for the worst Australia can throw at you.

Manufacturers will always recommend allowing trusted, experienced professionals to service and maintain your RV wherever possible. And that is generally good advice, however, there are maintenance actions you can and must perform yourself in-between services if you want to extend the life of your vehicle.

After a hard day exploring the great outdoors, there is nothing greater than a nice hot shower to wash away the glorious Australian dust. And nothing should be allowed to ruin your enjoyment, certainly not questions like: Will there be any hot water? Will there be enough water pressure to rinse away more than the tiniest amount of dust?

Miserable water pressure is the stuff of nightmares in an RV, so the team here at RV Parts Express got together to discuss the main culprits in compromised water pressure and our tips and tricks to resolve the issue as fast as possible.

When you make the most of your awning space, an RV can really start to feel like a home from home. Often, so much work goes into creating the perfect interior that the awning can often be forgotten.

We have all seen videos and blogs of some incredible RV set-ups, but how do they do it? You'll be surprised by the impact of these simple ways to enhance your awning.

There are few more important items in your travelling rig than your RV hot water system and it is one of the appliances guaranteed to get regular, often heavy usage. Hot water in your RV is an essential element in making camping immeasurably more comfortable and convenient. It is also one of the more complex items on board if you are not too familiar with how it works and this can be a major, frustrating issue at times when the system refuses to cooperate and function as intended.
