Hi, Both Les and I have always wondered, but we were never sure if you can use a gas BBQ (like the Weber Q) when there is a fire ban for that day or season? I have heard you can't use an open flame, so open fires etc are out, but I'm not sure about gas BBQs. We have a Weber Q to take with us when we want to BBQ. Also whi...

G'day. Just comprehensively insured my Freeway slide-on with NRMA over the phone. One of the questions asked by the operator was where is the camper usually garaged. I gave her my home address but also explained that at some stage I'd be on the road with no fixed address (except a mailing address). Wha...

Had a 9 kg bottle filled in Ballarat today for $18.99 which I thought was fairly reasonable knowing what some places charge. We also noticed that the diesel pump would be easy to get to with a van on, so we asked the girl on the counter how they would feel about caravans filling their water tanks. She said i...
