Motorhomes were investigated but as we want to go off road a lot seem to be settling on a Guardian SUV air-con off road camper trailer which should go anywhere. Any advice for first timer...

I have arranged the tank selector to be in the cupboard where all the filling and air hoses sit. Also included a flow meter to count the liters used. It looks a bit of a mess but need to be sure the proof of concept works. Fortunately I finished the under van stuff after lunch just before the 20 mm of rain buck...

My friend has, I think, run over a Chinaman who was holding a black cat under a ladder at the time of a thunderstorm... He was towing his juggernaut caravan (23 ft I think) up Brown Mountain and his Ford Ranger overheated. It went into limp mode. Took him 2.5 hours to get up from the first hairpin to the look...

I note that there is a guy from the "GREENS" who is advocating for a 4 day working week. He must be "out of his tree" as that will mean that he will have to work ( if he does that sort of thing) an extra 2 days a week, as I reckon that he probably now only works 2 days a week. He must be crazy. Bet he works only on week...
