Hey all, We have done our time at Birdsville, and are now in the Winton region for a couple of months. Have landed a job on a cattle property about 80k south of Winton. Weather is dry, and getting hot, but mornings are still a bit cool. The Nissan is behaving herself, and the kedron is a dream to tow.Any GN...

I've had a look at both the battery and the stuff that is in a little door at the front of the van, driver's side. Written on the side of a small black box is WALKI ELECTRONICS. Above that is a series of 6 or 8 fuses. There is an ON/OFF switch at the side which is set to ON. The black box is warm, but not hot. I wi...

A question for someone who understands such things. Due to an unfortunate accident one of our solar panels is twisted and scratched. I have a multi meter but am unsure how to test if the panel still works so any advice would be appreciated.

Hi all I am looking at buying an invertor generator 2kva or above and would like peoples opinions. I have looked at Honda and yamaha and they seem very expensive compared to the Kipor and Engel ones. I know you get what you pay for but is it worth paying so much more for the brand names? I have also seen a Fuji...

Here are some pics from inside Felicia. Obviously, she is not quite yet finished. Still doors to go onto cupboards and drawers and things - but you get the idea. Final photo is of the "toolbox" house on the back.

Anyone know of reasonable van storage for a week or 2 anywhere between Wangaratta and outer Melbourne? Have given up on trying to take the van into Melbourne as I can't find anywhere to stay in it with 2 dogs. Rosie

I contacted 5 Caravan manufacturers as suggested, and asked them what I asked the forum: Can anyone tell us why the backs of the seats have to be made up of 2 cushion rolls, (or more,) with one overhanging the other like the flab on a very obese persons gut? Also, why do the seats have a large roll along th...

We arrived in Eucla this afternoon, (so glad to be back on the internet again!) We'd intended free-camping on the Eyre Highway, but we usually stop in roadside stops/free-camps for morning tea and lunch, and we found the ones we stopped at were filthy. There is all kinds of garbage lying around,...

Hi all, I'm just wondering if anyone here has Meniere's Disease, and if so, how do you manage your symptoms while travelling? What sort of unique challenges do you face, and how do you overcome them on the road?

Well I've gone and done it when I didn't plan to - spent the inheritance. I've traded in the Driftaway Little Robin Mini for a Coromal Compac which has more space for the doglets and I. It is a 2008 model and has an aircon built in and a battery pack. My query is about the battery pack. Where I bought it I w...
