Hello to all other Grey Nomads. We are about to start our next chapter/journey in ours life. We have had a fairly bumpy journey in recent years so we have decided that life is too short to waste going to work for someone else. We have travelled a fair bit of the world but because we can't travel overseas at...

From this... Too this... Purchased parts were L-Pin, L-Bracket & Snap Up Lever. Could have done without the lever and made my own. The remainder of parts were from Bunnings and were cut and drilled to suit. Modification that was required due to width of Roundbars... Extend L-Pin square holes...

Hi all, My wife and I have started a year long journey with our Jurgens Skygazer in the last few weeks. We are currently at Port Arlington in Victoria and I have noticed a slide pivot for the awning has detached from the rivet. From what I can see online its called the slide pivot awning assembly, though ex...

We are doing some long range travel soon and want to be able to use internet for travel planning, streaming, etc. We know about Starlink, but its a bit expensive. Weve become aware of Nighthawk. Love positive and/or helpful messages to help us decide. Cheers.

Hi folks, Just wondering if anyone has been down this way recently. The QLD Roads site shows there has been some damage due to "shoving" of all things. I'd like to take a slightly inland route away from the Bruce and hope this road hasn't suffered too much damage, so I don't have too slow and/or uncomfo...

Chlorine still doesn't have the green light for sterilization of water from organiccontaminated sources.Hydrogen Peroxide still best IMHO, but more expensive. total oxidation and zero residue! Thousands of Water Systems Across US Have Dangerous Cancer-Causing Chemicals April 12, 2025, T...

We stopped off at Lake Wallace near Portland/Lithgow and were pleasantly surprised. An open massive parkland area along the lake edge for caravans, RV's, tents etc and dog friendly. No power boats allowed, so perfect for canoeing, fishing (trout) and swimming etc. Has only one old fashioned toile...

Hi all, Just wanting to get advice on how I can set up my caravan battery setup. I currently have a 2009 Jayco Flamingo Van, installed is just a single battery. I was wondering what I need to have A) a digital display, B) What sort of charger I need installed to charge the battery so it doesnt overcharge,...

I have a Starcraft 2010 model caravan with Queen bed. I now find the queen is no longer serviceable and wish to replace it with 2 x single beds. Allows more room to move. I would like to hear from anyone who has done this modification, and some comments on associated costs. Many thanks

All of us: As age creeps up on the bride she finds that she gets good relief to leg swelling, foot pain, leg and foot cramps from a small heated foot boot, that unfortunately is not up to too much usage. Hours of driving or sitting in the confines of the van are becoming a problem. She can't jog with me - eve...

Australia and New Zealand's most sacred day and he is in the palace - wouldn't you reckon that some Royalty might come to Australia on this day? Even if it was slanted toward the First WW where Australia lost thousands in defence of others. Doesn't have much trouble toting elsewhere. LEST WE FORGET ...

I was just reading an article in the Griffith (NSW) Free News saying that since they have cut out 3G that 4/5G was useless in country areas of western NSW. I think they were talking about internet and not phone. I thought connectivity ability was the same. The reason I am asking this is I have to upgrad...

I recently spoke to a panel beater an asked about EVs, and they dont touch them for various reasons which made me think, I wonder how much the insurance would be, especially if it has an accident and part replacement availability. I also wonder about the GVM capability for towing single axle caravans,...
