Is a big van necessary ?
(Preview)

But then everyone is different and so long as you are enjoying it. The little Jayco Starcraft suits us and the annex gives us extra room as required. Enjoy your tr...

Our first ever motorhome! 1992 ISUZU/Winnebago We bought it last year. Very comfortable inside but slow as treacle on the hills. We are lucky if we travel at 95kph on the flats. But love camping in national parks and touring around. It is fully self contained with inverter and 340 watts of solar. Just s...

Has anyone seen this Motorhome?
(Preview)
I was wondering whether my old motorhome "NFPA" (No Fixed Place of Abode) is still on the road, or maybe still being lived in, but parked up. We traveled some of WA, NT and QLD in her in the late 90's before selling her in Cairns. She was based on a D Series Ford truck, and had a 300cid inline 6 petr...

Not everyone can have a new van and tow car
(Preview)
I love to see all those new vans that you put onto here and yet they can still enjoy caravanning without all the thrills and whistles perhaps many of us like myself and my wife Glenda still enjoy being part of the grey nomad scene with our old vintage vans. I for one pull an old 1979 Viscount that is in near...

The Birth of PJ

I've been undecided about posting this link to a video I made of finally getting PJ together. I made it mainly for my mate Stan as a keepsake and something to show his grandkids. The camper was parked at the side of the garage for many months waiting for a suitable flat tray ute, and ended up being hemmed in...

Replacement for BT-50 tug
(Preview)
We wanted to carry too much gear to meet the BT-50 GVM limit so rather than risk the wrath of the scalies in various states we've upgraded to an Isuzu 200 tray back. Plenty of room & capacity for us now. Darrell & Sandra
