The Grey Nomads - General

I recently added 2maxtrax to the roof of my car and I just got back from my 1st trip with them (used them to get someone else out of being bogged in the sand) and now the alarm on my car keeps going off. I've never had trouble before and it's pretty windy out there so I'm thinking (hoping) it's the extra wind r...

My Dometic compressor fridge (2019 model) has a freezer that is icing up during extended use, say more than 2 weeks continuous use. It is also causing moisture build up in the main fridge causing paper products (e.g. egg cartons) to get very damp. Other than obviously defrosting the freezer (which ma...

Hi Jay&Dee here. It has been a while since have said G'day mates. Anyway, we are in the processor of wanting to buy a new/newer van. The van we have discovered and taken a liking to is: Brand Silver Valley Model Yarra. Web pagehttps://www.7thstreetcaravans.com.au/silver-valley/...

Any recommendations for a reverse camera to get on our caravan. We have a Furrion attachment on the van but the price of the Furrion camera is so exspensive. ive looked at the Haloview which are much cheaper but have many types to chose from ,but they do have a Furrion adapter. Any suggestions would b...

It's happened again. Last week I camped at the Tallangatta (Victoria) Showgrounds, this is a large grassed area (25 acres?) with power and water points around most of its expanse, one may camp anywhere, no designated spots. I had been there for eight days camped 20m from a single woman, she had her car...

Hi All, Well here we go, a few days into 2022 and two topics closed already due to, frankly, nasty responses and remarks. As a keen member and reader of this great informative website I must say it never ceases to amaze me how some, not many, on here are so very quick to have a go at fellow members. You don't...

We have booked our tug and van on the Spirit of Tasmania. We booked some months ago expecting COVID to be less of a threat, it's now a moving feast and we are planning to travel from the Gold Coast down through NSW to Port Melbourne for a mid Feb daytime departure. Any advice on suggested caravan park near M...

We are half way through our 5th year on the road. When we changed from a converted bus to a 4wd & a Tvan motorhoming friends thought we wouldn't last more than 6 months in such a small living space. We do think we will one day return to motorhoming, but it will have to be a motorhome which can take us to the...

I am considering buying one of the van. Does anyone here have or had one of these that can review or give me some feedback on them. Thank you.

I wonder how many people know you don't need a fishing licence to fish in Victorian Waters if you are a Senior with a Victorian Seniors Card. To hold a Seniors Card in Vic you apply for one when you turn 60. Not sure what happens in other states but thought this worthwhile making known on here.

What is your ideal climate? I've lived (not holiday-ed - a different ballgame) in places from northern Europe to the tropics to Melbourne and my favourite climate, as a nomad, is Victoria - the south of France, similar to Vic, entices me also.

Hello everyone & Happy New Year too. Since we've had our van (4 years) we have clocked up over 50,000 kms & I don't know its past history (was second hand). We did find red sand in a couple of places so it might have been out in the Birdsville area. It has both shock absorbers & the tension sprin...

This caution is probably obvious but.... This morning I investigated a couple of camps in NE Victoria which had been posted to Wiki Camps. Both were 10km or so into the bush so, as is my rule, I left the caravan behind and used the 4WD only. One site (Avondale Gardens) had a few reviews which were more or le...
