As the system/network should be good enough to give us a great signal at all times. I have just added a Cel Fi Go signal booster to the aluminium tent. Why I hear you ask? well, ever since late 2019 I have not had good Telstra cover on my phone or Wifi device. Other carriers are no different in the areas I hav...

I'm well and truley over using Nappisan in our cassette, it's useless and does next to nothing. So after seeing a facebook post about using dishwasher tablets to clean a home toilet work(maybe?). So I wondered what would be the result if dishwasher tablet was used, I grabbed a 40 pack of Coles Ultra Dis...

Following the discussion on use of Napisan type products, I thought this may be a good complementary subject. I know many drop the used toilet paper in a bin to be later packaged and disposed of. I suppose putting it out with the garbage is a lesser undesirable than disposable nappies. But I have never b...

Having a bit of trouble tunning the ditigal TV. I wind up the wind guard, turn the tv on, go to menu then click on auto tuning but no hits. Others in the park appear to have their tvs working.

Just read in this morning's paper that the new Isuzu utes are "....hot at the moment" and that "....top models have been pushed out to an April delivery."

Does this mean that when in use it should use around 80 amp per 24 hours? I have 3 x 120 amp AGM batteries, not sure of age as th...

I recently had a van wired up ready for towing a caravan. Excuse my ignorance on this subject, but what voltage should the grey anderson plug be putting out?
