P2 · P2

I have Telstra turbo 3G wireless pre pay, yesterday I found it very difficult to get it up and running properly without it dropping out or just not being able to access the net at all, to cut a long story short after about 4 hours I rang Telstra and spoke to 2 delightful Indian ladies that told me to do all sor...

You were all so helpful with my questions earlier that I thought I'd push my luck a bit and try another one. As I said before I'm brand new to this and I've only just bought my van - don't pick it up for another week and a half. Added to this is the issue that I haven't lived in Australia for a long time so I'm not...

Just a quick post. If you are travelling from Victoria up the NSW coast, do yourselves a favour and drop in for a couple of days at Eden. Can highly recommend the Garden of Eden Caravan Park. Heaps to see and do, wonderful scenery. Will post some photos once home.

At a caravan dealership this morning to get an outside globe, and noseyed around inside the 5th wheelers they had (as you do). While they are all lovely and spacious with the slide-outs out, it looked like when the slide outs are in for travelling you wouldn't be aqble to access the kitchen, or the fridg...

I've just bought (well just put a deposit on really) my very first motorhome. I've got a few questions that extensive googling has failed to satisfy so I'm hoping that you good people on this forum will take a few minutes to help me.

Does anyone know if the roads between Dubbo and Brisbane are all open or if any are affected by the floods? Son is heading that way in the next day or two. He was wondering what the situation is the QLD end.

One night around a campfire in the Warrumbungles, we met a couple who were on their first caravan trip. They had travelled overseas extensively and discovered that some people on the other side of the world had visited here and knew more about their own country than they did. So they decided to fix that...
