The Grey Nomads - General

Firstly I must THANK a follow forumite who phoned to discuss some other issue. He did mention that I should check the Anode in the hot water system, and was I glad I did. The anode was completely eroded much beyond what it has to be, to do the job effectively. If not for that information, I did not know that I...

Just received these words of wisdom?, from my Grey Nomad elder brother,... and thought I would share for a quick chuckle.... Aspire to inspire before you expire.

What do you people use to wash your annex walls? I have been told by the bloke at Coffs Canvas at most pure soap like sunlight soap anything harder will wash out the protection. others have said light truckwash. Mine need cleaning but they cost to much to ruin

We had organised to house sit for Feb/March but that has been cancelled (we cancelled as we didn't agree with some details of house sit which we were not given before). But now we need to find a preferably free camping spot to fill in those 2 months without having to g...

Do the Bunnings blue drinking water hoses taint your water. I have been told by some yes they do but by others no. They are a good $10 cheaper than the caravan shop ones and as we need two I could save over $20. We do have a water filter in the van and I also thought I would probably carry spring water for the ket...
