Aldi Doctor One day, in line at the company cafeteria, Joe says to Mike, "My elbow hurts like hell. I guess I'd better see a doctor." "Listen, you don't have to spend that kind of money," Mike replies. "There's a diagnostic computer down at Aldi's. Just give it a urine sample and the com...

Might come as perhaps a ridiculous question but over the years I have noticed a bit of arrogance or snobbish behaviour when it comes to the size of ones caravan or in my case lack of one !! I drive a small campervan which was bought new in 2011 fitted out by myself the same year and for 2 people meets all our...

Hi all Off North not in a rush maybe 4 weeks on the road. Anyone else heading off about that time for a bit of free camping along the way???? Cheers Baz

OK, I posted this bit of info about a year ago, and thought it might be worth sharing again. For those having trouble backing their caravan in beside a slab, I came up with this method about 20 years ago and it worked perfectly for me. I cut a piece of rope about 8 or 10 foot long. Then I measured the over all ou...

Hi, We purchased a Bailey Pursuit at the weekend and looking for a bit of guidance. We will be towing with a 2013 Falcon XR6. This is our first van and we have very little towing experience. We will be booking a Tow-Ed course before we use it. I would like to know a couple of things before we pick up the van 1. T...

Dad n Dave took two stuffed dogs to an antiques road show, Ooh said the presenter this is a rare set , produced by the celebrated Johns Brothers taxidermists who operated out of London at the turn of the last century.

Hello fellow Nomads! My first post is inspired by Pauline & Joe's newbie post and by this wild weather as I contemplate how much longer I can stay in bed before getting up for that word beginning with 'w' and ending with 'k' - you can see that I'm trying not to incur the wrath of the Chief here! As Paulin...

I have a Knaus Skywave Motor Home. I started with a pair of yellow ramps as sold by BCF etc but found I often had to hold the vehicle on the ramps with the handbrake, which then creaked and groaned as we moved about inside.

Hi we are new to the forum. We are renovating our 1996 Compass poptop and need to either replace curtains or fit blinds. Bit confused about the best way to go and what sort of blinds would be best. Any suggestions appreciated

On our last trip with the van my wife made the comment that when I had been in the shower the digital TV signal had been breaking up, I didn't take a real lot of notice as I couldn't see the relevance between one and the other. The next night it was a major drama because she had a shower when I was watching the cr...

Hi :) Firstly I would like to introduce ourselves. I am Ian and my wife is Rebekah. We are new to the whole caravan scene but very excited to begin. Years ago we were always travelling and camping and kept it up with the kids while they were young. But as they got older it fell by the wayside. Now they have the...
