Hi Everyone I Trust that you are all enjoying your travels. Quick question - did you take an additional spare tyre for your 4x4 when travelling. We do have one and as we have not used it in several short trips (1 month each time) we are wondering do we need it as it is just extra weight to cart around, or sho...

Anyone out there used one of these 4x4 Water bladders for extra water. We were thinking instead of taking a hard plastic 60L water tank for roof rack that perhaps one of these water bladders would be better and when not required we can collapse it, but if need water when out driving for the day then we alw...

just wondering what people with a hi ace use for grey water. I find a normal bucket or even the square buckets don't fit under it. Also if you need to collect and remove the grey water as some shires insist on how do you handle that?

Hi , I have a small dinette in my van and with the standard table found it a bit difficult to get into the seat and out. I have been looking at the Nuova Mapa Sliding Table top conversion for a Wineglass base . No to much information out there. Any way I bit the bullet and bought one and installed it yesterday....

I'll be having some surgery on my right eye on Monday in Adelaide. Seems the vitreous humour has partly detatch from the retina and has to be removed and replaced with a sort of saline solution. They're also removing a cataract as it would have had to be done within the next six to 12 months anyway. I've al...

How many cpap users use the humidifier, and when they use it, heat, cold, humid conditions? Aussie Paul.

Why do some vans have their tow hitch located on a plate at the bottom of the A frame & yet others are fitted to the top? Is there a structural or engineering reason? Since getting our van, I've had a few issues (either scraping the rear step or the tow ball screw on gutters). I thought a week ago at Gilg...

I have asked half a dozen people and friends that have been to Pain Management Specialists, if their pain was reduced? Every one said NO not really. On my one off experience I got exactly nothing from him, in fact he didn't seem to care about my pain and only wanted to stop my Pain Medication. I wait with b...

I purchased it new not long after I bought my motorhome thinking I would need it, but I have never had a need to use it because of my solar set up. It is about 18 months old and only started monthly just to run it. It weighs 32 kilos and has 4 wheels and is easily managed by 1 person. It also has remote star...

Installed in my RV is a tanked/gas/electric hot water system, which is aging & now starting to corrode inside, plus gas not working right now. Thinking to replace with an instant gas[& electric maybe?] system, anyone changed theirs over, if so, is it reasonably easy to just connect existi...

Just inviting anyone who doesn't know about the sub topic "Pick this place" to drop in and participate if you would like to. I am one of the regulars who enjoy remembering where we've travelled or find new places through others photos. I know it's not everyones cup of tea just wanted to spread the wo...

Being of a more interesting age I have been having difficulty lifting my spare wheel. The carrier seems to be much further from the ground,and the wheel has increased in weight or so it seems. How heavy is it? To my surprise my spare weighs 46 Kg, or two and a bit jerry cans full. I can, but prefer not to, lif...

Hi, I'm going on my first trip from NSW to WA. I'm driving a 4WD that has a bed frame built in the back. I was just wondering when booking a site at a caravan park, would I book a camping site, or a caravan site? I was thinking it would most likely be a camping site as I won't need to be hooked up to anything, but...

Bridges and roads were damaged by flood waters a week ago isolating Ravensthorpe from Albany and Esperance. Main Roads regional manager Andrew Duffield surveys some of the damage caused by the flooding. West of Ravensthorpe on South Coast Highway, the Philips River bridge was ripped from its foun...
