Hi Travellers, Having trouble with the small toggles that hold the top half of the door to the ceiling when travelling. I guess it's a common fault as it is a weak point. Any suggestions that might make it a little more secure would be appreciated. Thanks NormJean.

During our last 12 months of travelling we have sometimes been asked to leave our driving licence while the Motorhome is being filled up. Luckily I have a seperate ID card that I got from the Ballina RTA/Service NSW so can leave this rather than my licence. The other option is to leave your co-driver/pa...

This has probably been covered a few times already but Im keen to hear what apps everyone is using. We use, Wikicamps, Fuelwatch, Fuelmap, Hema explorer, and Gasfinder. Are there any others worth using?

I saw a report today about an electric Supercar with a claimed 0-100 in 1.97 seconds. This a Croation Supercar costing Au $2.2 Million. The Rimac -2 Yup one for the Mega rich. What caught my eye is a claimed 650 kilometer range. 80% recharge in half an hour. It does not say at what speed you get the 650K rang...

Gday Gang Like most nomads we love watching TV (not to adds or reality crap). One of the best things we did to satisfy this habit was a device called chromecast. Hardly Normal sells them for around $100 We then picked up a unlimited data deal with Telstra for $199 a month.. did I say unlimited EVERYTHING!...

Hi all, a friend has just purchased a 2nd hand caravan and has been given some paint/sealant by another friend. This 'paint' is meant to be a sealant and a type of insulation but I have no idea what it is or the name. I will find out eventually. Only thing I do know for sure is it cost him a carton for the 4l...

Does anyone lock the van to the car while travelling? Sometimes when I'm parked up a side street I often wonder how safe is my van. Doesn't take a lot to unhitch. I tow a trailer behind a motorcycle which I lock together using a heavy duty padlock via the safety chain. It will not stop someone who is determi...
