Have just bought a trail a mate anti theft kit which enables the base plate to be securely locked up on the A Frame to elimimate having to remove. Has anyone used one, and do you travel with the mate still on and attached. -- Edited by Maxy on Tuesday 6th of June 2017 10:53:36 PM

Hi, I was wondering what Cumberdoon Way was like from Walgett to Warren as I have an Avan Ovation Motorhome 2 wheel drive 8 metres long. Are there lots of trucks and is it a safe route. It looks like a very picturesque route via Currinda ?

Permanent travellers: What do you *like* most about living on the road? These questions are directed at people who do not have a home to which they may return. I suspect they have a different mindset to those who may spend lengthy periods on the road but know they always have a home waiting for them.

Ive been reading the blogs and am amazed at how much you all do and see. Do you have to force yourselves to get get up and go and walk miles through the scrub to a waterfall or does it just come easily? Do you research the must-sees before you arrive at a town/region or wing it when you get there? To those with...
