the french Its 1942 and the train was quite crowded, when a U.S. Marine walked the entire length looking for a seat, but the only one left was taken by a well-dressed, middle-aged, French woman's poodle. The war-weary Marine asked, 'Ma'am, may I have that seat?' The French woman just sniffed and said t...

Hello all ,I would like to know if any of you have vacuum sealed pineapple pieces and frozen them in refridgerator .How did they turn out .

A few 2nd-hand caravans currently for sale have an extended draw bar. Apparently this makes it easier to reverse park, but I wonder if it makes it somewhat less stable to tow. I have read articles that say the further the weight is from the centre of mass, the more prone it is to swaying. What are the arg...

Hi all I have the above mentioned fridge and am having a problem with it cycling off and on - seems to stay on most of the time. The fridge has 14mm wire running from the fridge to the battery. I have 3 x 120 amp batteries and 600w of solar power. The freezer is very full, so that should cool it down, but it d...

Our motorhome has 3x100amp house batteries. These are now 6 yrs old and thought we might change them to 3x 130amp batteries. The 130's will fit no problem. My question is: Can I just disconnect the 3 batteries and swap them over and reconnect the new ones or should I isolate the house from the engine...

Hi All Just wondering if any body is aware of roads to avoid heading into Melbourne Ferry Terminal from Doncaster East due to low bridges. Somebody has warned us there are low overpasses heading into Melbourne that may not allow caravans enough overhead clearance? Cheers

We need power after dark. To run tv. Ac. Microwave and freezer. When stopped more longer term than just a few nights. Im not sure if solar would work for us to power a tv and ac. We have looked at a gentrax 4.4kva genny for a very reasonable price. Has anyone had experience with this brand.

I may have posted my enquiry in the wrong area. I was after some information about camping at Wyangala or Burrendong Dams and sites around the Bathurst area. Thank you Jules, 50 years ago I visited Carcoar, It is close to the district that my father came from. Have not been there with a caravan, so just ne...

After the initial WTH?! of weird vision, I love these! Trial was driving from Caloundra to Roma last night. I had great visibility, and the blind spot mirrors are a god-send, especially in driving rain and low light. We aren't towing (yet), but because we got a non-standard tray (wider than the Mit...

You won't get a better year for wildflowers in the Wild West! After a great start to our winter, the mid- and lower-West's wildflower showing is at its best. The phenomenon of the early winter rain bands streaming from the tropical Indian Ocean this year doesn't happen very often. It's got things fi...

Hi all from reading other posts on other sites that it seems there is a real grey water problem. Do you let it go on the grass / trees that are near you or keep it and use a dump point on the move ????. If you are staying in one spot for some time i think the tank would fill and need to be emptied ????

The compliance plate reads gvm 4490 kg's So you need a light truck licence endorsement so as to be able to drive. My question is this can you get the GVM up graded say to 6490kg's and how can this be done ??

Hi everyone. I am new to this site (so be gentle) having only had my 4x4 for a short while and am researching the new best caravan to consider buying within the constraints of the 2016 Prado Kakadu V6 that I own. I have looked at the Leader and the Supreme range sold here in WA and they look like very good uni...
