we have just installed a dual battery system using an Redarc BCDC and Optima Yellowtop battery. Simple set up but I don't know if we should keep using the battery when we aren't travelling ie in the city. Should we leave the fridge in the vehicle. This has been suggested to us as the thing to do but I'm unsu...

Is it safe to use a gas regulator in a vertical position. Is it a rule that they have to be horizontal or can they be eitherway. Want to fit a gas heater that has a big end to a companion cyliner. Thanks.

A dad took his little girl to the barbers. While he sat in the chair having his hair cut, the little girl stood close to him, nibbling on a cake. The barber smiled at her and said, "You're going to get hair on your muffin." She replied, "I know. I'm going to get tits too."

Hi again. thanks for the interesting replies, so true. What are your thought on buying an ex rental camper van. They say they are well maintained, but they have high mileage, and been driven by some drivers who are not good drivers. I am tempted, but do have some reservations.

Hey there everyone :) Well the wife and I went out and checked out some of the local caravan dealers and were very taken with the Avida Topas caravan. They were offering an attractive offer with Isuzu for the van and a D-Max so I was just wondering if anyone had some feed back on either? Thanks :)

I'm concerned for good reason. Its a bit of a hobby of mine to keep abreast of the US military. The world court has rejected China's claim on the "valuable" islands in the South China Sea. But they took over the ilands anyhow as they has supet size oil and gas fields under them. The USA navy has sent a mo...

Hi. I am a newbie to the forum, but have been reading the newsletter for ages. I am a retired lady, living in NZ (that small country across the ditch) and want to see more of Australia.

Camp Australia Wide book 8 Camp WA #9 Moodini Bluff February 2017 it look like they have two new toilets and new tables This is a link to the same topic in the general section

While heading home yesterday thought we would call in and look at Fraser Station Caravan Park. Great attitude there and worthy of recomendation, BUT the free camp at Moodini Bluff was a disgusting mess. No wonder the authorties are fed up. It amases me how clean living people even stay there, filth an...

Fantastic spot. Plenty of room, honesty system, drinkable water, toilets and dump point. There is a river road, that is worth checking out that takes you to the bend in the river. Maybe do a walk first to check out over hanging limbs, last week I would have taken MH down there no problems, but had already...
