We are about halfway through our round trip. We are in our 39th caravan park (I give it 8.5 /10). We have a new 'van with full ensuite & wash/mach. We only ever get low pressure at best. We use an in-line water filter (tried 2 types), and have tried without, no difference. Do caravan parks put a restric...

Freecamping is a great option for many of our members and there are some absolutly great locations to freecamp often a bit off the beaten track which makes them even more apealing. Over the next week or two is probably a very good time to try a Caravan park and catch up on some washing etc as the climate wit...

We usually view the NSW RTA (Live Traffic) site to view 'floods', 'fires' and road conditions. It's also nice to view their road cams and see what the Sydney traffic is like. However, in the past and today we have found their 'Fire' site is often misleading. As an example, on their site, they reckon...

If there are any of our Nomads heading in this direction, although I would doubt it, the following news item on ABC radio could be of interest. "The temperature in Oodnadatta yesterday, (14th) was 47 deg and the roadhouse could only serve petrol between 11.00am and 3.00pm as the fuel evaporated...

Hi all, what do bus owners use or recommend as stabilisers for a bus when stationary, to reduce movement from wind and getting in and out? We don't need levellers to get it level, we use timber for that, but something to stop the rocking. What suggestions, where might we find such a thing, and any idea on...

Hi all we are travelling to Tasmania in January 2013 and read that fuel containers need to be empty of fuel and filled with water. So this poses a couple of questions... Can you refill the containers unleaded and diesel with fuel again? and what to do about generators. Maybe easier to buy new containers...
