TRUCK PARKING BAYS
(Preview)
After speaking to a few truck drivers, and from my own experience, these parking bays are NOT for caravans and motor homes overnight parking.

tyre pressure sensors
(Preview)
If, like me, your RV has duel rear wheels fitted, it is adviseable to fit these sensors on the valves. This idea is so that you won't run a flat on a drive wheel, and possibly not notice it, 'til it is too late. They come in packs of four, or six, and have a small readout panel that sits on the 'dash, keeping you...

We off-loaded our fruit & veg at the border heading south from Alice Springs and re-stocked at the new IGA (b...

Just spent the long weekend in Metung, Bairnsdale and surrounds. The floods (although not as bad as up North) have caused some drama. East 'Gippy' is a low lying area built on and around the myriad of lakes and rivers. Many roads, although now clear of water, have had the tarmac lifted in sections a...
