Gday all As you can see we own a Jayco Starcraft 20 footer. One day I was sitting, minding my own business, when all power went out. The RCBO went out and there was no way it would reset.

An old man was sitting on his front porch down in Louisiana watching the sun rise. He sees the neighbor's kid walk by carrying something big under his arm. He yells out "Hey boy, whatcha got there?"

Just wondering if anyone has tried one of the Aldi - Stirling Fridge Freezers - looks like a waeco. They were on sale a few weeks ago, but HWMBO wasn't too sure about them. Would love your feedback. I'm just trying to collect the things I might need for a van before I stop working.

Hi there, travelling with caravan TV for the first time and need to set up a suitable aerial. Does anyone have any suggestions out there, apart from leaving it home? cheers

After retiring, I went to the Social Security office to apply for Social Security. The woman behind the counter asked me for my driver's license to verify my age. I looked in my pockets and realised I had left my wallet at home. I told the woman that I was very sorry, but I would have to go home and come back...

When you see a pretty woman please consider the following: No matter how beautiful she is. No matters how sexy she is. No matter how pert her breast are. No matter how big they are. No matter how seductive she is. . . . . . . Bugger! I've completely forgotten where I was going with this. This sh#t happens all...

Hello All. Just want to receive feedback about staying overnight or longer at showgrounds. It seems this is a popular concept with some/many people. Our experience has been a bit disappointing, but we want to find out have we been a bit unlucky or it it the way it is. Now, we don't expect showgrounds to h...

Crusader Musketeer Aramis Caravan - comments and recommendations. Hi all. I am looking around at caravans suitable for my 2016 V6 Prado 4l auto and came across a Crusader Musketeer Aramis Caravan today which seemed to tick all the boxes so I thought I would ask for opinions. It is a 20' tandem axle van (...

We have recently finished doing up a bus.... looking forward to taking it for a 'trial' run. somewhere about an hour or two from Brisbane.

There is a switch to activate the pump and a selector for tanks - I assume this is a common set-up. My question relates to the situation wher...
