Hi we are just about to become Grey Nomads and seek advice on what we should have in terms of a tool box. We have a Nissan Navara 4WD ute with a full canopy towing a Jayco Discovery single axel caravan. Any advice would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi All, I enjoy freedom camping but have just spent a few days at a CP in central Vic. as I like to support them when it suits. My site was very muddy and it sloped front to rear way too much in my opinion. I needed to use my ramps on the rear wheels to lift the van enough at the rear to get the front low enough to l...

Hi, planning a trip with our dog from Adelaide up to Darwin to visit the boys who live in the NT. So my question is what distances are there between road houses (fuel stops) , can install long range tank but would prefer not doing so if it is not neccessary.

Hope I'm not going over old posts, but I was amazed to find this. This is really heartwarming - pay taxes and work all your life and at age 65 instead of being revered by society, we get dumped on from a great height. Don't get hurt by falling off the ladder or doing other dangerous chores around the house...

From a USA newsletter: Pfizer now anticipates revenue from the two-dose vaccine this year to reach $33.5 billion for the 2.1 billion doses it's contracted to provide by year end. No wonder Slo-Mo wants us to get the AlkaSeltzer!!! My little calculator won't calculate the per shot cost!
