Hey everyone. I notice a few on here have their own "web-sites" (well lookalikes) - almost like a diary to show pics of the various places they have been, what they did there and long or short notes about these places. Im looking for one that is 1) free 2) not for commercial use - only as I...

I have and Ipad Air, an Iphone 6, and Eril an Iphone 5 and an only wifi Ipad Mini. Somehow I have ended up with all my pics, vids etc going to Icloud. I keep getting messages saying I am almost out of space, I take it that they want me to buy more than the free 5gb. Wishful thinking!!! I have searched the web and l...

Seeing I just put my first topic on, thought I had better say Hello. Been here a while, and looking forward to "asking" questions. Just bought an old Jayco Freedom, after selling our pop Top "Classic" swan 1991, last week. Decided after "doing" the Great Ocean road in March, a "pup" was too much, we hav...

First post, just saying hi to everyone. We're slowly getting ourselves organised to retire from the workforce (ie. the ratrace) and hit the road in our caravan, in around a year or maybe two. Thanks to a chunk of my super we've got our van and tug - a 25 ft Designer Vans offroad caravan and a 2015 200 series...

We are trying to find an electrician in the western Sydney area who can install DC-DC in our caravan. For such a large place there seems to be very little around. Anyone got any experience or recommendations, would be very much appreciated, thanks.

Hi we have two problems we cannot fix on the road the first is we are only generating about half the expected solar and suspect we need to run a separate line for the second panel we have a 40amp bcdc and it should be big enough for 2 200w panels. The other problem is that when we travel we blow the main 12v fuse...

we want to do a boat trip on Lake Argyle and are considering the one that leaves Lake Argyle campground or stopping at Zebra Mine and doing their tour. Has anybody done either of these and which would you suggest we do. I presume it's just the beauty of being out on Lake Argyle and seeing a great sunset that...

Looking for more advice have a 2010 hiace van tyres have done 40000km since new still plenty of tread .. have read that the shelf life of a tyre is 7 years ! Should I be considering changing to a new set of tyres ? To some people it may seem like a crazy question to be asking but better to be safe than sorry wh...

Hi, just wondering can I use aluminium say 5ml thick by 200 x 200 as the floor mounting plate instead of steel to mount a Airtronic d2 heater in a timber floor ( caravan),Or will it conduct to much heat From unit - exhaust ? Also can I use the 12 volt wires for my power supply that go to my fridge or should I g...

Hi all, i don't know about you but I'm fed up with items that rust on new vans, I myself have a New Age van that is just over 12 Months old, one item in particular is the AL-Ko corner supports, the bolts holding on the foot pad has rusted badly, they use chrome plated steel, Ive replaced mine with stainless st...

Our trip to WA for a couple a of years has been delayed for a bit due to the need to have the injectors replaced in the Crusier. It's been an interesting excise, the cost to have them serviced is about $2200 and to have them replaced is about the same. We are going down the replace road as we might as well star...

Hi All I didn't want to hi jack another's thread but I have noticed over time that some RVer's don't like the CMCA and are quite vocal about them, this confuses me a tad. I have been a member for a few years so I'm just a newbie in comparison to others. Although I own a MH I have never been asked or quizzed in ref...

Hi, Thought I would show our first major trip from Coffs right down to Melbourne, across on the ferry, at Sorrento, then up to Adelaide and across again through Dubbo. Read all about it on my blog, it might inspire someone, as I found it hard to get lots of info. Starts here at part one. http://retired2...

G'day. If you are down Esperance way, keep this in mind. A firm that does electricrical work on motor vehicle did some "work" on my Madza T 3500 M/home. As a result, the headlights come on at any time, Vacuum light stays on. Glove box won't open. One radio speaker isn't working anymore. No power to cigar...
