GDAY ALL, Fran and I have had to delay our start by quite a long time due to a major family problem. it looks as though it may take a while to get things sorted out so at this stage we don't know just when we will be on the road, but the way things are up north it may not be a bad thing. ...

Have to ring them in the morning to transfer my insurance. Just wondering before I do, if they do or if I should start looking for someone else. I have a rating 1 for life Diamond status with them so hope to continue. I also have a RACV membership so wonder if they do, if Aami dont?

I'm sure this has been discussed on this forum, but cant find it on the "Search". Have recently been told that caravanners were turned away at the crossroads before Broome if they didnt have a booking! Surely that cant be true? How long ahead is it necessary to book a site for July? Are there a...

I attended this show on Sunday, the last of the 5-day event at the Adelaide Showgrounds. A stall holder told me the numbers were down from last year, and there were less exhibitors.

Seems to me that motor homes of any size would be a problem to set up to be level. Even looking at some on concrete slabs they seem to sit tail end down a bit because of the load I guess. I know I like a nice level bed to sleep in so how do people cope in motor homes. I think it would be a case for a self leveling bed ch...
