Hi All, Having found myself the owner of a Hino AC140 bus following a rush of blood to the head, I now require a workshop manual. Does anyone know of a reliable online resource for them? I also need to find the fuse box (would you believe that it is in a cunningly hidden spot) and the indicator flasher can a...

Hi fellow gn's we bought our first van last year as a tent upgrade. It's a little beauty, but it has served its purpose and it is time to upgrade. SWMBO has a desire for an ensuite and of course a/c. We have seen a 2014 Nova Metrolink 16.6 for sale in Bunbury WA for 40k. So questions: that seems a pretty good pr...

I said with a chuckle in my voice, did you bang your shins on the tow bar ( Hayman Reece WDH type), is that why you took it off? She said no I thought you did. That wiped the smile off my face.

Below is a link that will take you to the site of 1943 aerial maps of Sydney. They are not GoogleEarth quality but remember they were taken over 70 years ago. The site is not the easiest to navigate but basically you go to the basemaps window and select 1943 maps and go from there. They are in black and white...

Got a funny idea I already know the answer

Hi All. Quick question for people who, like me, hate the rubbish that so many leave behind. For those of you who spend a bit of time and pick up others rubbish, and should be applauded for doing so, what is then the best method of disposal. I have got myself some gloves, pick up tool and garbage bags and inte...

G'day everyone. The time is fast approaching where we will need to replace our camp chairs. Currently have Coleman but am looking for back support and comfort. There seems to be a plethora of chairs out there. Would be pleased to hear of members thoughts of what they consider are the best fold up camp ch...

In my travels around oz I have come across many travellers who are riding the highways on a bike, often packed to the hilt. Most seem to be from over seas on holidays. What amazes me is that most seem to wear dark colored clothing and sometimes depending on the conditions are very hard to see. Saw one tonig...

Suicidal or overfit with energy to burn?.......Hoo Roo

As you may have noticed I'm trying to learn from your combined wisdom before I buy a caravan and hit the road permanently over the next year or so so here's another question: I've owned a few small generators over the years (and installed some very large ones) but my current 900W unit will not be sufficie...
