Hi All, First time poster...so please be kind! My husband and I are looking at purchasing our first caravan. I am getting my head around all the different weights you need to keep in mind in relation to your towing vehicle, etc. We are towing with a 2013, AWD, Diesel, Ford Territory. It has a 2.7 tonne to...

Hi I'm new to the grey nomads site. I also haven't travelled This area before and was wondering if anybody could give some advice on free or cheap camping areas on this journey. Thanks in advance Pete

I have discovered, much to my dismay, I am now relativly "stupid" in my post accident and ageing life. The icecream saga. Jumped in and ordered a new element before we left Ararat so it would arrive ready to install after we got home. What a mongrel of a job that turned out to be, only to find it is not workin...

Why don't people run the 3 way fridge at the 240v ac setting off an inverter, from the house batteries that are being charged by solar and dc to dc charger while travelling? Aussie Paul. -- Edited by aussie_paul on Sunday 11th of February 2018 04:19:31 PM

Hi All, just joined the Grey Nomad group, First Post. Have purchased a Jayco Poptop hooked it up to a Territory and set off to do some camping. As we enjoy meeting people we looked at some of the local free camp site on Northern NSW to try out all the bits and pieces in our van, and seeing as I was given a dash ca...

Just visited The Slim Dusty Centre. Clean & informative. Was amazed to see all his Golden guitars & Gold records. Have morning or afternoon tea while your there. One of the best coffee's, scones with jam & fresh cream we've ever had.

It's goodbye from me. If any of you have seen me on the road in the last six years and have waved, take this as my wave back. If you see the old Patrol again it is not now me. I have, for the forseeable future, gone off the road and back into whatever the opposite of a nomad is, back in NZ. I have increased their P...

Been reading through some American RV forums and found it interesting so far to find no mention of diesel heaters as we know it. They have all sorts of heat pumps, underfloor heating and others, but the good ol' diesel heater seems yet to be discovered by the mainstream. Diesel heating is quite cheap an...

I have a faulty fan which I am trying to remove, however getting the two retaining screws out is proving somewhat problematic. The screw heads will not protrude proud of the fan to enable me to pull / prise them out. I have previously taken the fan down and don't recall having any problems. Any ideas?...

Hi, May seem a silly question but is it OK to start cooling the fridge using the 12v option? Reason for question is that we cannot hook up 240v to cool fridge before we set off on a trip as it is parked in a storage yard. So when we hook up to the tug and drive off I would like to get the 12v working. I vaguely rem...
