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.
