None of us have been everywhere in Australia but if all us grey nomads combined our photo's the result would probably cover most of it. This is the spot to try and stump each other as to where a particular scenic photo has been taken. Please include something in the photos submitted that will be an obviou...

Are you boiling hot, freezing cold, or soaking wet? Is the wind howling or is there a gentle sea breeze cooling you as you sip a pina colada on the beach?

I have been asking around and doing a bit of reading on the subject, but a definitive answer so far has not been forthcoming. There's plenty of recommendations that they are best kept at 20 - 80% state of charge, but with solar connected they inevitably hit 100% in no time. Even at 100% there must be pre...

We have a Jayco Heritage 20 ft van. We do not have the van under cover. Hence it endures a lot of "muck" over all the van. I am using a spray-on general cleaner over the van in set areas and then using the gernie to clean it off. Then move on to the next space and repeat the process. Now the van looks clean and fre...

Although hesitant to extend this article to others since some make a sport of opposing everything, here goes anyway - some will find it interesting. Doesn't apply to me because I'm not grey - I'm SILVER!! But driving can be a danger - and other info here will be of interest to most Greys.
