Last recent trip our caravan (Traveller) was somewhat over the three and a half ton legal limit, full water tanks, gas, batteries and solar panels - then food, clothes, etc. I just thought about receiving a hefty fine and having to empty everything out. Never again, problems with insurance and S...

Most people probably already know this, but seeing as I just heard it I thought I would pass it on. I had problems with my GPS and Dash Cam falling off during hot weather.

31 January 2018 Total Lunar Eclipse Perth, Western Australia. Also, the full moon will be slightly larger than normal given that this is also a supermoon, also called a blue moon, so astrophotography will be more spectacular than normal." Hoping my photography does this wonderful event justice....

Hi, My son is looking at buying a Volkswagen Caravelle, but found out that its repairable write off. The owner bought in South Australia, and is selling it in Queensland. Does anyone have any suggestions ... as it appears to be a bargain price.

Hi everyone. We are new to this nomadic life and thoroughly loving it, but someone has just told us that you are only allowed to stay in a state for a maximum of three months and then you have to register your vehicle and caravan with that state. Can you please clarify this situation Cheers Ken and Kaz
