"Do not touch" Would be one of the scariest things to read in braille. During labour a woman can almost imagine what a man feels when he has a cold. "Yes officer, I did see the speed limit sign, I just didn't see you". Its ok to disagree with me, I can't force you to be right. Arguing with a woman is like readin...

Has anyone had any experience with a damp/moisture meter? And if so, what's a good/bad brand? I shall be buying a new (to me) used van soon and want to check it for water leaks. Any thoughts?

Has anyone had a rattly fiamma awning. Ive read you can fully extend them right out and that stops it but no... still rattles. Im in a campervan so can hear it when driving. Ive been working my way through all the rattles in the van and this is the last one. I bought some thin rubber from clark rubber to perha...

Hi. I have just returned from a 3 week tour thru south-west Qld, Thargomindah, Quilpie etc, driving a Nissan Patrol 4.8 litre petrol engine, and towing a Jayco Starcraft Caravan. I monitor fuel usage out of interest, and to indicate when maintenance may be required. This trip my best result was 22.9 l...

Our caravan floor in the shower is marked from water stains and ingrained dirt from use over many years. I have tried to clean the floor using various cleaning agents but they don't seem to make any difference . I am considering painting the fibreglass floor with an appropriate paint but not sure what t...

An aeroplane gets into difficulty and the passengers begin to worry that it is going to crash. One female passenger jumps out of her seat and shouts: "If I'm going to die, I want to die feeling like a woman." She then removes all her clothing and asks: "Is there someone on this plane who is man enough to mak...

My local drug dealer started dressing up as a Jehovah's Witness so he wouldn't arouse suspicion. He got arrested after the police saw people actually letting him in.

A little girl and boy were at daycare. The girl approached the boy and said: Hey Bobby, do you want to play house?. Sure, he replied, what do you want me to do?. I want you to communicate, little Susie replied. That word is too big. I have no idea what it means, Bobby said. The little girl smirked and said, pe...

Do parks charge separately for power on powered sites or is it included in the fee? If separate how is it metered and can you view it? Also, what are the tariffs? Just wondering how much it would cost if it's a stinking hot day or night and you want to run the van's A/C.

Hi, I am about to enter Alice Springs, and its currently below freezing at night. I was wondering if sub zero temperatures have caused any issues with Motorhomes or Caravans, particularly when the water connected up directly to it. Looking forward to any comments from any of the Grey Nomads ... -- Edi...

I have a single axle Windsor Genesis and was thinking of having a Powrtouch Caravan Mover installed. Most of my travels are done solo and it will (hopefully) remove the need to reverse a few metres and then get out to see how it is all going. Has anyone purchased one of these units and if so, what is the opin...
