We currently own a Supreme 2060 and our Tow vehicle is a Disco 3. We are thinking about changing our rig to a Iveco with a slide on so that we may tow the boat and have the convenience of dropping of the slide on and have a vehicle to launch the boat. I was wondering does any body have this type of rig, if you do ,...

G'day. I've just travelled from Adelaide-Darwin-Adelaide and had a great trip. The only jarring note was the Rest Stop just north of Pt Augusta. Don't go there...the drop toilets are full and putrid. Plus there's no water. Who should this be reported to? Council? Health Dept? Who is responsi...

Hi everyone. Thank you for accepting me. My husband and I are keen campers. 2 years ago we took a trip to the out back to Broken Hill. A few weeks before we went we bought our 80's model Coleman Campervan. It's great. We are just waiting to go again this year with it and our new 4x4 we purchased a month ago. A Mi...

I've been looking at small second hand vans (still hunting a for Avan Weekender at the right price) admittedly most are owned by younger people with a growing family, that have what I call a Bunnings fit out, cheap retreads, out of rego, most of the appliances have been replaced with cheap domestic 240...

JerryandCynthia.com (no www needed) A married couple in their 50's living full time in a 24' motor home on $1,450 per month. Interesting collection of articles and videos. Mandatory bit of religion! Their meal plans are typical American though. Lots of fat etc.

I will start off by using my long service leave of around 10mths then annual leave and retire at the end of that in the middle of 2014. ...

Gday... I listened to an interview this afternoon on ABC Local QLD radio with Jim (? - I missed his surname) QLD President (I think) of the CMCA who are having their Rally at Boonah at the moment. I think some of our members are attending. The gist of the interview was to convey the 'outcomes' from the CM...

Thinking of calling in to Maldon for a spot of family history and cemetery hunting. However, there seems not any/many places to stay. Badgers gives the only CP a thumbs down. Any suggestions? Rosie

The weather changed at Greens Lake last night. It got quite warm during the night, so that was a nice change. Linda (nomadic1) and I had a quick chat then we left for the short drive to Bendigo. We're in the Showgrounds, haven't seen the caretaker yet, so we've just set ourselves up like everyone else her...

Thanks to Jim (Just Cruising) and Leonie for the hospitality the other night - had a great night with you two and Lorraine and Brandt (Kiwi-as) - we are now in Yass for the night in a CP. Expecting a cold one tonight - been snowing all around Goulbourn - very pretty, but very cold overnight I would think.

Well I have made it to day seven and haven't even been tempted to stray from my idea of doing not much at all here in Lakes Entrance. I feel great, I am sleeping better than at home and have a great view looking out at the North Arm area here in down town Lakes Entrance. I must say though it is very hard watchin...

Today I met Rosie, of Rip & Rosie, Pam and Judy, aka Barina at the RSL in Deniliquin. As seems to be the norm when we meet other GN's, we got along really well. Of course sis & bil were with me, and they were happy to meet and chat too. It's a pity we didn't have more time, but I'm sure we'll meet again so...
