Just thought it needed a bit of oil when he rang to ask the type to put in., Anyway told him the whole story, so he says, well for her age and probably not a lot done to her over th...

Hi all, we are about to take off on another adventure in July and want to see about adding maybe a towball lock when the van is unhitched. Have any of you knowledgeable Goeys any suggestions as to a brand, type or even another method of security that is practical? Thanks in advance.

There is tremendous happiness in making others happy, despite our own situations. Shared grief is half the sorrow, but happiness, when shared, is doubled. If you want to feel rich, just count all the things you have that money can't buy. 'Today is a gift, that is why it is called The Present .'

We're planning to visit Lawn Hill National Park, probably late August, but we don't like to take the van off the black top. Someone said we can leave it at Gregory Downs overnight and stay in a cabin in the national park, does anyone know if it is safe to do this.
