I am 30 years old, about to graduate from college. I heared my dad say something about a retired couple who just travel the country in a trailer. that kind of retirement sounds like an adventure. I am not married and i don't think it is likely that anyone would want to go with me when i retire. do you realy li...

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.

New Member, new van, bought it yesterday. Van weighs 1500ks, tows well, pulls well but noticed the suspension on the Kia Sorento is slightly spongy. Should I replace strutts with heavier gas shocks, will that lift the car up and make a rougher ride empty ?
