Gday... This topic has been bandied around on a couple of other threads recently. I thought I would put this information in one new thread for those who may have missed the discussions that have meandered around within other topics. Again, this could quite probably have been in Technies' Corner, but...

OK back in the 1980s-90s while living in Kalgoorlie, one of our favourite pastimes was catching Yabbies in many dams around Kalgoorlie. They make a fabulous Sunday Arvo meal, and no dinner cooking on Sun night. I haven't heard of people going Yabbying for Donkey's ages. If anybody knows of any Yabbie...

Can anyone tell me the pro's and con's of using a heat reflective roof coating for top of the van. Will this exercise give us relief from the summer sun. I read somewhere where this guy painted the van roof with protective paint and was happy with the heat relief generated. Jay&Dee

Just been talking to the lady who cleans the amenities block here at Benarkin & we inspected the damaged coin boxes. The good news is that these boxes were especially designed by a security firm & although you can pull the outer casing off the money is actually in a box that is like a safe. So th...

I have just dropped a couple of notes in the I digress forum below, and thought maybe a couple of NORMAL Grey Nomads might like to read it. The subject is, I think, I Digress. To the knockers I really am trying hard. Simmo.

This year the weather gods were kind to us for our get together here in Seabird WA, and we had about 14 or 15 vans here, had a blast. Most have left now, those of us who are still here are mostly from over East, and we will all be leaving over the next few days to continue our travels. Sufil (Sue and Phil and dau...

OK, it is Sat night and I have had a couple of sherbets, but think I am still in control. When I tell my friends my hair is naturally as black as coal, and I use a grey tint in my hair so I can qualify as a grey Nomad, they all look at me a bit funny like. I am curious to know if, I am on my own in this trauma, or are ther...

I notice a lot of people having trouble backing their caravans in be side concrete slabs. I thought I might share a little trick I developed early in my 30 years of caravanning and it goes like this. (A) Always back in from the right hand side so you are looking out the drivers window. (B) Measure the over...

I recently purchased a new Silverline, I thought it would be a good idea to get an extra door key in case I needed it. I called into Jayco Geelong only to be told you can't buy spare door keys, what, you spend $70,000 and can't buy a spare key. I called Jayco head office who thought you should, but you have to r...

Hi Can anyone tell me how to straighten up an awning that has been put onto our van and is crooked. Unfortunately we realised too late what the problem was and we can't return to the dealer who put it on for us. Looks like we're going to be doing it ourselves. We need to be able to slide it over about 1 inch wher...
