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...

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'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.

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

We have recently installed two 12v 130AH AGM batteries because the old Yuasa ones are ten years old and failed completely late last year which caused us a lot of troubles.

Over the last couple of days I have had half a dozen calls from the factory just clarifying the specs. Questions like, are you comfortable with the fuse box in its standard position? Or we think your van will be nose light, so we would like to move your spare, are you OK with that? I believe chassis number 2...
