Little girl goes to a pet shop and asks "Excuthe me do you have any widdle wabbits?"The shop keeper's heart melts.He gets down on his knees so that he is on her level and says, "Do you want a widdle white wabbit or a thoft, fluffy, bwack wabbit, or one like that widdle bwown one over there..?"The little gi...

A dog lover, whose female dog came "in heat," was concerned about keeping it and her male separated. But she had a large house and she believed that she could keep the two dogs apart.However, as she was drifting off to sleep, she heard awful howling and moaning sounds. She rushed downstairs and found...

We stayed here twice in 2 weeks on a run to/from the Outback to the Sunny Coast. In a cabin, with 3 dogs (yes, it is truly pet friendly). The cabins are small, but clean and well appointed. Good price too ($79-$89 per night). Sites are a good size, could fit the bus no worries. Facilities immaculately clea...

Hi. We are having trouble with our Truma Model B10/B14 hws. It only works on 240 and not on the gas. It used to be ok but since experiencing a few rough roads we turn the gas hws on but it soon turns off. Yes the bottle was turned on and yes we had removed the cowl. Any ideas? Kim

Going to look at a coromal 457 Planning to do short trips in Summer and migrate north in winter.

Hi there, About to set off from Redcliffe to Winton later this month and looking forward to making new friends along the way

hi Nomads. Has anyone attempted to replace the cords on pull up blinds and screens on their van. My Avan has one broken and a couple looking a bit doubtful. Thanks in advance. Terry.

We are parked up next to a Caravan couple and they put their black water from a cassette toilet down the grey water drain. There is a Dump Point not far away, and I think it disgusting and very unhygienic. I am interested to know what people think I should do about it ? Its only the second time I have seen this...

I have a scale for checking the weight on the towball, so I will obviously check the towball weight just before I leave home. But assuming that I am not planning on adding any substantial weight or shifting things around in the caravan, do I need to bring the towball scale with me? I am trying to minimise w...

Hi, Newly retired, my wife and I are planning to do some GN with a van once we get a few things in order at home. We don't have anything really nailed down yet but as our old car just blew it's motor I need to decide on a vehicle sooner than expected. I'd like some vehicle recommendations, makes and models to l...

I've just commenced building an 18' totally off grid van. One of the most important aspects for me is that it DOES NOT LEAK. Online research and anecdotal evidence suggests that perhaps a HUGE percentage of vans less than 10 years old leak. Stories of roof leaks, window leaks, seam and corner leaks...

Hello to all, I'm a new caravan traveller making my way from Finley to Jindabyne in December. Can anyone suggest the best way to travel . I have driven thru Tallangatta - Corryong - Khancoban - Crackenback - Jindabyne by car only a couple of years ago and was sure I saw signs saying No Caravans Permitted ...

My husband and I are currently doing up our shearers huts to accomodate people that want to stay in them. How do we advertise the shearers huts accomodation?

I am looking to visit Cobbold Gorge. Have a 2 wheel drive ute with a semi-off road van. Can anyone tell me what the road conditions are for the roads from Georgetown to Forsyth, Forsyth to Cobbold Gorge. Einasleigh to Forsyth And Mt Surprise through to Einasleigh. I believe some of the road is sealed...

I mentioned this recently as a comment on another thread, but thought I would post it here. A few years ago I was in a cp at Alice Springs and had these noisy birds settling down for the night in tree branches above our RV. As well as noise deposits from above were another likely scenario as the branches e...

hi we will be heading through SA soon and was wondering how to handle our water supply. Can we fill our tanks at CP or is it all non drinkable davo

Collect a few pumice stones about the same size as a normal fire starter and keep them in a small jar of kero. Take one out as required, works very well. If you can find it in the fire after it goes out it can be re used. -- Edited by grahamg on Tuesday 19th of May 2015 08:41:13 AM

I once read the rule of thumb, being not exactly accurate that each foot of caravan was approx. equivalent to1hundred weght. therefore a seventeen foot van weighs approx. 1.7 tonne. any ideas.
