Happywanderer · Happywanderer

Just spent a great 12 days out at Greens Lake. So good to meet new grey nomads there for the first time. Thank you to The Kiwis for some wonderful meals on quite a few occasions. Even though I was unwell most of the time out there I did manage to have a little taste and was able to enjoy the company anyway. Mad...

Hi Guys, Looking at buying a new fridge due to an expanding family and a mate suggested the Primus Mammoth 65 dual zone (wife wants to take icecreams for the little ones).

After oohing and aahing we finally hit the road to free camp along the Murray. Little did we know that we would hit a high (phew!) in the weather but also the start of the fishing season!

If you have a small caravan or any sized van What do you do when bad weather strikes? Like the current heat wave and thunder storms etc?

Hi Folks, over the years of caravanning, I have reached the following conclusions. If you leave the roof hatch open when you retire for the night there will be a distinct possibility of rain before morning. If you are on a winding road in the forest you will only meet a log truck on a hairpin bend. If you fa...

Hi to all happy campers out there We are also in the very early stages of planning a 3 month trek to Cape York and beyond, although this might change as we approach the time of departure.

JAYCO has issued a nationwide recall of more than 700 caravans and campers after fears axles could slip out of alignment. According to a company safety alert, axle U-bolt nuts on vehicles with chassis nu...
