Hi All, I am now in my 70's and was warned that travel insurance cost will rise substantially. We are presently away from home base without good reliable internet, so I thought I would inquire and collect information on the forum. Will check in a day or two.

I've read about so many places that I've lost count so knowing how far and wide you've all travelled, I'd love to know how you rate your best spots. I'm especially interested in Eastern Australia but all welcome. Must be pet friendly. -- Edited by Lily2018 on Thursday 22nd of November 2018 02:25:52 P...

I'm very sorry. The above lottery is absolutely legal. If all else fails, read the instructions!! Regards....

I realise this is a very broad subject but I've been wondering for a while what people do with their day when they live on the road full time. Especially when staying in one place for some time. Would really like to hear your thoughts and experiences.

Hi, I drive a Mazda CX-9 and the specs say it tows 2 tonne and handles 100kg on the tow ball. The problem is the 2 pop tops I am looking at buying are 108kg and 125kg on the tow ball. Is there any way around this? I don't know much about weight distribution systems. Cheers, Noel

I haven't used my van for a while & although it's showing charged was wondering if it's possible to charge up the break safe battery by the two external terminals shown in the pic by using a smart charger instead of waiting until I hook up the van in two months time. Hasn't been used for 12 months.
