Thinking of getting one of these , mainly to allow us to lift the front of the van up to level - current towball hitch would hit tail gate , looks like Mchitch would let us raise Hayman Reese up by about 70 mm http://www.mchitch.com.au/_p/prd1/3762580191/product/3.5-tonne-%22easy-fit'-caravan...

Hello Everyone, I am in the dreaming/Pre preparation stage of Nomad life. I will need to work to fund my travels (Mid 50's Female). I think, I'd like to work from Station to Station, thus no need to be a turtle and carry my home with me. My questions are; Where do I start? Do I need a 4WD? if so, What do I look f...

We were talking to the owner of a caravan park that we stayed at recently & he was telling us about some interesting cooking methods in the camp kitchen, he wasn't impressed. Lay a popup toaster on its side & use it as a griller for your steak, never mind the dripping juices. An electric jug is gre...

Hi All, looking to buy above front loader for travelling and am seeing mixed thoughts on discussion forums about these machines. Some are saying that they unbalance very easy and use more water trying to rebalance while others say they are very good and have no problems. Any thoughts would be greatly...

Hi all, I'm interested to know if anyone with a petrol tug has any experience using E10 fuel when towing. I usually run on 91ULP with an occasional fill of 95PULP. I've noticed at my new local United servo (opened this week) that 95PULP has been replaced by E10 95RON which is the cheapest of all, slightly...

Hi, I have now had 2 Primus single burners which I use on a small Companion LPG bottle. I use for cooking if I cant have a fire. Both, including the one I have just bought, will go out when I turn down to a low setting. Any members experienced this, and have a solution. Perhaps there is a recommended burner t...

Hi all I'm looking for some honest opinions on the above camp sites. I have heard very mixed reports about both and to be honest I'm a little concerned about spending time at both of them but the reviews and opinions on Gnaraloo in particular seem to be either good or terrible with nothing in between
