In the latest grey nomad times....one of the questions says Moree and Narrabri are in Queensland..... no wonder I gets lost easy..... Cheers Keith

Water tank gauges are notoriously bad. I couldnt get my grey water tank to read anything less than 30% empty. Paid $30 for an 800ml bottle of Thetford cleaner, half filled with water, drove for an hour and left in for 20 or so hours then emptied. No difference, still reading 30%. Did a bit of searchin...

I have the usual Suburban HWS in the Jayco. The temp of the water wether on gas or water is only 47-48 C. It's not hot enough because when showering too high a percentage of hot has to be used with some cold to have a decent shower.

Do not buy the Engalon Brand of TVs with DVD players. They make a noise every 10-15min in standby mode. The manufactures say it's not a problem. It keeps you awake at night. Bad company to deal with.

My water pump has begun to give a quick "burrup" when the taps are off but the power is on to the pump. This occurs about every 4-5 minutes. Water isn't leaking out of the system. B

Hi, I am planning the drive starting in Broken Hill, thru to Camerons Corner via Tibooburra, and returning some of the way along the Dog fence to Broken Hill. It is my plan to hire 2 x Toyota Prado's in B/Hill. I will be accompanied by wifey, 2 x adult daughters and my sister. I expect to take with us, beside...

BACKING IN THE VANI was propped up in my deck chair, beneath the awning shade.Id knocked the top off of a stubby, it was about that time of day.Just then around the corner a car and van appeared.They had the look of newbies, it was the worst I feared. They pulled up right adjacent to their allotted spotTh...

While conducting some business at the Courthouse, I overheard a lady, who had been arrested for assaulting a Mammogram Technician, say "Your Honor, I'm guilty but..... There were extenuating circumstances."The female Judge said, sarcastically, "I'd certainly like to hear those extenuating c...

Just looking at the about to be released MG U9 ute. My opinion of course, it's the uglist vehicle I have ever seen. Wondering now if others agree?

We were planning on a 3 month trip leaving Ballarat early July, going up the center to Darwin, across to the Kimberley, down the west coast to south west wa then across the Nullabor back home.
