I have now joined the family of solo travellers. After some heated domestics I felt it was my time so here I am I am in Queensland and slowly heading North with no plans or timeframe. Chris

Just curious, during services you may have had done, what happens to the wheel bearings, and for what price?

Good evening all. We purchased our first van on Monday and we will be picking it up on Sunday. Cant wait. As the plan is to zig zag around Australia, on and off road, metro, country towns, rural & remote traveling, we are selling the old Hilux, and CX5 and are looking at a 100 series 1HD turbo diesel L...

The rotary flush knob on our C4 was not delivering a full dose of water, took it apart yesterday, seems the plastic bellows (see pic below) had collapsed over time and was not expanding to its full size, took it out and placed it in a jug of very hot water, this softened it, blew into the hose to expand it, th...

Does anyone have an update on where John is these days, or what he's up to? I followed his inspirational travels for years. Unfortunately, I never had the opportunity to meet him in person. He was one of the reasons I regularly visited this forum. Stay safe

Hi all We're in the process of purchasing a new tug and 'van and are now wading through the insurance process for both. I'd love to hear from people's experience and if naming particular companies is frowned upon, please pm me to have a more private discussion of pro's and cons. So far we've had a couple...

Heading south on the New England around Tenterfield is a great stretch of road for a first time drive (tow). I suggested to the wife that she give it a go. At the time she was not feeling up to it. After two weeks on the road and only driving when the van was not on, the good wife had had enough of sitting in the n...

Our first camp was at Kiata campground in the Little Desert National Park. Lots of Emus around. A rare Malleefowl wandered through our camp. Southern Scrub-robin, always hard to get a photo of. Brown Treecreeper. We then moved on to Broken Bucket Tank in the Big Desert. Broken Bucket Bore windmill. R...

Hi all. Yesterday we had breakfast and went to see if Jetski operations were a goer. They were and the guy finally got us on. We had to go 300 meters at walking pace due to rules and regulations. When we got past the that point I slowly got a little faster asking Eril if all was ok. It was dragging the tail down...

Just introducing the wife and I. We are long time caravanners and have just joined the forum. We have a Ford Ranger PX Wildtrac and a 21' Evolution Luxliner accessible van as my wife is in a wheelchair. We both love the freedom the van gives us and plan to keep doing this until we are physically unable to d...

A blonde is on a four-engine plane crossing the Atlantic. All of a sudden there's a loud bang. The pilot announces over the intercom, "I'm sorry, one of our engines has just shut off. We'll be delayed 45 minutes". Suddenly there's another bang. Once again, the intercom clicks on and the pilot expr...

Decided this warranted a new thread, so that the only other thread on this site acknowledging Anzac Day does not turn into the usual sh*t fight. The greeting Happy ANZAC Day is not appropriate, it's not a happy day any more than Good Friday is a happy day. ANZAC day is a day for reflection and remembrance...

Gday... Cheers - John

LOOK... CLOSELY AT PHOTO #1. Don't go to photo #2 until you look at photo #1, closely. Be sure to read the 1st caption below picture before going to the 2nd photo. Look at the picture above and you can see where this driver Broke through the guardrail, on the right side of the culvert, Where the pe...

It's called fashion, sweetie. Look it up. Seriously though, with a $168 dollar price tag, I wouldn't be surprised if these stay on the shelves.

Love story I will seek and find you. I shall take you to bed, and have my way with you. I will make you ache, shake & sweat until you moan & groan. I will make you beg for mercy, beg for me to stop. I will exhaust you to the point that you will be relieved when I'm finished with you. And,...

Are most people aware of how old their tyres on the caravan are? We brought our van late Feb. and the tyres had approx. 20% tread left. Last week I was checking the tyre pressures before a short trip away. Looking on the net for recommended pressure I was reminded about the age of tyres. When I checked I fou...
