Mostly we Freedom camp and I can choose our van resting place, however on a recent interstate trip to Tassie our self contained sites at CMCA Discounted CP's showed me the need for a set of Ramps (1 set) for our Tandem Caravan. A fellow RV'er mentioned that he had to cut 20mm of a set of ramps he purchased (...

One night a police officer was staking out a particularly rowdy bar for possible DUI violations. At closing time, he saw a fellow tumble out of the bar, trip on the curb, and try his keys in five different cars before he found his. Then he sat in the front seat fumbling around with his keys for several minu...

I've just insured our caravan for the first time after I bought it a year ago second hand. So it sat in our property uninsured for a year whilst I modified it to suit our needs. I tried most of the large insurers and had quotes as high as $1800 down to $570. I found Ken Tame too difficult as he wanted an indepe...

While we were away recently I noticed some attempts to stop Ants entering peoples caravans. The first was on a van with ALKO drop down steadying jacks. The feet are recessed and they filled them with water to create a water barrier. Tyres had nothing The second attempt was a guy "puffing" an...

I noticed on to-nights news there was a fair said about caravan tuggers having a special licence. I am curious to know what other Grey Nomads feel about this subject. Also I have a heavy vehicle truck drivers licence, and am curious to know if the new rules come in will I be covered?

After experiencing the 'BIG WET' in Queensland I have headed down to country NSW. The region is Bathurst and am visiting friends who have a farm just out of Oberon. The weather started out great with beautiful sunshine and thankfully cooler weather. However it was not long before the rain was fall...

Hope I'm in the right spot here if not I will delete and put where it should be. One of friends over in Tassie has just bought a business called Rebound Books. I'll put a link to the website if anyone wants to have a look at what's on offer. You can buy online and have sent to where ever you live or have them post...

A man was sitting on a plane, trying to complete his crossword puzzle but something wasnt adding up. Four-letter word to describe a female, ending in UNT, he said. The man beside him heard the comment. Try aunt, he said. Oh, said the other man. That makes more sense. Do you have an eraser?

I will be avoiding the Great Central Road, so am committed to a Nullarbor crossing to Port Augusta before motoring up the Stuart Highway to Uluru and Alice Springs. From there I'm ge...

Gday... So, all you Telstra NBN customers - get ya oar in the water before their generosity (or pot of money) runs out. Interesting that now at least ONE of the NBN retailers is 'fessing up to what the community has been bleating about for ages. Wonder who will follow?? http://www.afr.com/technolog...

I am heading to Coffs in September with a 20' off road caravan being towed by a BT50 and wish to travel via Dubbo then north to Moree. Is there a route across the dividing range that would be suitable for my rig not necessarily from More...
