Because I had noticed that our esteemed member, Possum3, had not posted for some time I decided to phone to check on him. Turns out that he has recently had quite a run of bad luck with a storm sending a "20 ton" tree crashing through the roof of the house he was living in, South of Sydney., destroying it....

Fitting Curtains to ARTV Windows
(Preview)
We ordered a made to order van last year and opted for the Aussie Traveller Euro ATRV windows. My wife wanted to fit curtains the same as what she had done in our previous van. We reckon that curtains with lining can be an advantage when you want to leave your windows open at night without using the blind as...

Wikicamp Reviews

Does anyone else enjoy browsing thru Wikicamp locations reviews? It highlights the differences in peoples expectations of what a decent campsite should be. Some glampers seem to have an aversion to a bit of dust, a few ants or a flock of birds waking them up in the morning. Has anyone explained to them...

I only heard of ceramic coatings the other day. I think it was that great story by Ivan about the guy washing his car 8 times in the caravan park. Then I watched video today with Justin from 'Trip in a Van' on Youtube, talking about his new customised LC. Jeez he spent a lot on it. And he had it ceramic coate...

Must've looked suss?
(Preview)
Not sure where I got this picture but thought that it may interest those who claim that authorities weigh only cars that look overloaded! This car (BT50?) certainly would attract attention although the rear of the car seems to be sitting higher than you'd expect. WDH? Cheers
