A heads-up for anyone planning to stay at a CP in Mt Isa. Thieves are targeting them and I was a victim over the weekend after I was away from the bus for 45 minutes. Surprisingly, and very thankfully, the only things taken were my el-cheapo pre-paid phone I had just as a backup and an old iPhone 4 with an app...

Gday... We are all aware that the modern trend is to force the fitment of greywater tanks to vans as a result of the crowding that occurs at many rest stops used as camping spots, particularly when the surface at those rest areas is 'hard stand'. Due to the crowding by travellers at unsuitable (for campi...

I'm sure someone has already scoped this out before. Are there any vans (not caravan) which will fit a full size bed widthways rather than lengthways? On Redbook the Transit seem to be the widest but the measurement includes the mirrors. Internally, they weren't as wide as I was hoping.

GN Members Sue & Phil (Sufil) · Weevil

Wombat (ex GN) has asked me to pass on that Sue & Phil (Sufil on GN) went to their son's wedding yesterday, Sue is still in hospital but was granted ward leave to attend with Phil. Sue's short term memory loss and eyesight still not the best and she is still an inpatient. FYI. Vic

My plans to go nomad are progressing quickly and before long I'll be placing an order for a new caravan, very possibly a Snowy River SR-19, I note from the options list for this van that they will replace the washing machine with shelves at no charge (I should think so) and I'm tempted by this. It's my inte...

Got the Laundry money sorted. Amazing how quickly it adds up from loose change. 600ml Coke holds $860 in $2 coins and the fruit vessel hold $330 in $1 coins. Hope I have enough to keep me in clean undies for a while.
