I got sick of spending money on covers, tarps etc that were hard work & not a real success. As I downsized to an older van I was concerned about rubber, sealants etc being exposed to the sun. After much procrastinating I bit the bullet & bought an Easyshade from Shadycharacters at Jimboomba. I...

Hi all, Just a quick up date, I have finally cleaned out most of the interior and I am thinking about starting the frame work for the beds, kitchen cabinets and frame work for the seating. I taped a few lines on the floor to get ideas for the lay out I am wanting. I am thinking about doing this while trying to...

Hi All, I have been giving a lot of thought to what Pete and Marion suggested, so I have decided to start posting the rebuild of my old industrial van. It's going to take a bit of time and I will probably make a few mistakes during the process so I am happy with a bit of creative criticism, ideas and/or sugg...

I recently downsized my van from a 2013 Jayco Discovery to a 2005 Jayco Freedom. The freedom had a centurion power supply, battery charger. It was useless as a battery charger & only had five 12 volt fuse outlets that were all used. A couple of lighting circuits were doubled up on fuses. I removed th...

Good evening all, I think a lot of Nomads would understand moments of insanity. We live full time in a 25ft Jayco Heritage and have done for the past 8 years, but just the other day I decided it would be easier to buy another rig to be able to get away for a weekend every now and then rather than pack up the big g...

It was made and purchased in Newcastle in 1961, then taken back to Chesshunt (near Wangaratta), packed up and made ready for the move to Queensland. My grandmother was told that she may prolong her life by possi...

We've always wanted a Jayco Penguin but the ball weight was always too heavy for whatever car we had at the time. but when Jayco reversed the interior and put the bed at the back in 2015 the ball weight went down considerably. We saw a 2015 model in a yard and enquired. The Penguin was bought new by an elde...

I have been looking for a new ute for quite some time and am a fan of the DMax and BT50 (or Ford ranger) but the new price is terribly scary. I was wandering past the Great Wall dealer in cairns this week and I saw they were advertising another Chinese brand the Foton Tunland for $21,990 drive away for the 4x2...
