Hello fellow nomads. I now live in Victoria, well at least that's what's on my driving licence. I pick up a new tow vehicle next week, but the caravan is on a constantly changing delivery date, which is currently April 2023. When it comes to Insuring both vehicles, do most people stick with the one i...

Hi All, Our first post here on this informative site. Does anyone have experience with the afterburner diesel heater controller. It looks really good and it appears it would make the control of the heater a lot better, auto starts, temperature starts and control via an app on smart phone. Cheers

Once the scale of the wet weather became clear I decamped from my beautiful lakeside location in NW Victoria a few weeks past and parked myself in this pleasant little community caravan park in central west Victoria: hard standing, P&W, a few shops and no river in about 25km - so far so good. I have b...

Hello fellow Nomads. Although my caravan is now delayed until late January, my tow vehicle is finally on the docks in Sydney and due to be ready in the next few weeks. I have a question for those who have installed 270 awnings on the passenger side of your vehicle. There are lots of brands around, so wh...

So after 6 months of searching we finally found our campervan. A Kea Nomad M700 in near new condition. The one in my Avatar. Got a great deal. The only thing that we don't like and would like to change is the windows! If you know these vans, the only opening window in the living area, is the one in the side doo...

Two hours earlier this van was 50 feet from the waters edge. Water rising fast, hope the owners have been out shopping for rubber boots. Cheers, Joe.

Hi folks, hope you are all warm and dry. So, my wife and I are tired of setting up the camper trailer and have started looking for a caravan. A quick trip to a dealership in Brisbane gave us quiet a shock, at the price and the 10-12 month waiting time. And as a result we are now looking for a second hand cara...

Outback NSW towns have had a bad rep in the past but I hear things are improving. Has anyone been out there recently and can comment on security and atmosphere?

Last week we came across the Savannah Hwy from Mount Surprise over to Herberton. While we were there I asked a number of locals what was the best way to get down to Gordonvale towing our 20ft van. Our destination was to a friends property at the bottom of the ranges in the Goldsborough Valley. The advice g...

Reading about the flooding at Shepparton, I was thinking about my old camping ground at Green Lake, where I spent many a day. Anyone have any news on the Camping ground at the Lake. -- Edited by Big Gorilla on Sunday 16th of October 2022 10:45:55 AM

Hi. There is a flap slider that comes down preventing use of the above toilet when the casette is not in. This flap seems to stop the casette from sliding back in on my van, like it has dropped down too far, or maybe come off a hinge? Anyone had the same problem that may be able to help me with this, as I just can...
