I'm wondering if slide-outs are a good idea or not. Seems every van my little sweetie likes has one. I have no idea how they keep sealed, never seen one up close. Sealed from water and dust that is. Thanks in advance Steve

Just wondering how many Amateur Radio operator's there are on the forums? I know of at least two. Maybe we could get some net going for the amateur's on the forum.

I have just bought another 3.7kg bottle of gas which lasts me about a week, Swap & Go. The fella at Bunnings said that for another $2 I could have bought 9kg - that's more than twice as much gas!

Okay, so most of the regular users will have gethered that I do a bit of work on vehicles, mainly 4x4's, so here's something to think about.
