Hi everybody. Just wanted to let you all know that – due to ‘overwhelming’ public demand – we have recently extended our line of grey nomads merchandise. You can see the range at our shop here.

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?

For me two places stand out ( more will come to mind, but I'm a senior so I am having a moment) 1 Mataranka, a stunning spot I thought, the springs are usually full of grey nomads immersed in the warm water, the meals at the resaurant were fantastic and the Van Park though a bit on the dusty side was very clean...

Called into a caravan dealer looking for a spare part. Came across the Gibb River brand caravan, yep same mob as the Snowy River.

In the latest GN News their is an article titled 'now you see it'.....a shield which can be propped up to make your campsite invisible to others. So, say a Landcruiser plus huge caravan wants to park there.... :)

Hurry up and give them all your personal details so that they sell the info off and pay for the blanket adds on TV. IMHO a dreadfolly insidious confidence trick.

Hi All, Question for the electronic gurus. Have had a Black Rhino 12V fridge that I bought 3 years ago at Aldi when it was last one in store and with a +50% discount.

Next to safety chains the next PITA is finding a servo with ample room to check and pump up tyres. I have now solved this problem by purchasing a Milwaukee 12 tyre inflator.

Does the sound from your Van/RV TV speakers drive you crazy?
(Preview)
There's a fantastic solution - I have a Sphere 21" that speaks thru silver paper with a sound more like a $2 kids toy. So bad in fact that I rigged it to run thru the in-house radio - trouble was the sound was from behind and above and somewhat disorienting relative to the picture. Anyway I imposed on the br...
