Bottle gas Refill v Swap
(

)
(Preview)
I'm only new on the forum, so be gentle with me. We have been on the road now since Dec 09. One of my main gripes is the cost of gas bottles. Here we are in Margaret River(or as the locals call it Markup River, sorry) and needed to refill one of our 9kg bottles. I am not a fan of the swap system, as I know the con...

Housesitting

Anyone want a couple of Grey Nomads to mind their house/pets over the Christmas period in Brisbane?? We've got family there but they'll have a full house - we are flexible over dates, but a couple of weeks would be good. Cheers The happy wanderers

Gasfuse - Emergency shut off/low gas indicator

I got one of these from Aldi yesterday for, (i think) $22, I now have three of them, as we travel with 2, 9kg and one 4.5kg gas bottles the 4.5 being a standby. Personally, I think they are worth the money especially as when the guage gets into the red I know that I have one more days worth of gas on the van frid...

Should I trade up?
(Preview)
Hi all, I'm starting to think I should maybe sell 'Lucy" and 'Gypsy' and get a van instead. Basically, the reason I didn't buy a campervan 18 months ago, was the cost of buying a late model and the cost of fuel driving it around town fulltime. (I don't intend being a full time nomad.) I was thinking o...

I always used to be already signed in when going to the forum (chosen via Favourites, not the link on the home page) but lately I have to sign in each time. Has something changed in the forum settings or is it my pc doing mysterious things?

Are you looking to downsize your house?
(Preview)
Hi Everyone I am actually not a grey nomad but thought this would be a perfect place to ask if anyone knew where my husband and I could find takers for our house. We are a new family with a 2 year old thinking the smartest way to upsize our modest house at Manly West, QLD, would be to ask retirees if they want t...
