Hi to all our fellowGN's, we are about to set off on the big lap after having a months trial run with the new van. We are heading north for the winter and are keen to get inland rather than follow the coast. We have searched for info but there does not seem to be any current threads. We would be most grateful f...

Did the tour today - really worth it as we were taken right in to the mining areas - but not allowed to put a foot outside the van! Loads of information as well. Then on to Breakaways - wow!!!! The colours are stunning. Pity we cannot free camp there. Need a permit to go to the area. On across an extremely dry...

Since retiring from full time work last year, my wife and I have started researching the purchase of a new caravan. We're leaning towards a tandem axle offroad van as we like the idea of free camping and expect to purchase a new unit later this year. I'm puzzled about the apparently low usage of disc brak...

They seem to b...

Hi We are wanting to buy a van. We would like to start off slowly and do 2 and 3 week trips, then slowly build up to the big one. We have been looking at vans but they are all very expensive. There are some on Internet with no shower and toilet which look ok. Do we really need a shower and toilet to travel o...

It's time again to replace tyres. I have been told goodrich ATKO are the way to go but they look fairly chunky to me and I am concerned about road noise. Almost all our driving is on good roads. Does anyone have any comment on these or other tyres. They are about $400 each.
