It is not the unit's battery - put a new one in last time it happened. Charge van batteries with solar when not on power. Unit always has an orange light on - says fully c...

The last trip in the van, the other half saying she felt car sick. I blamed the road surface for causing the pitching of the van, but maybe the pitching is caused by the ESC coming on because of the road surface. I am talking about bituminised highway, but with tree roots and other causes causing undul...

Over the last 5 or so years I have been having funny episodes where I would feel I was about to faint & things would start to go black but it only lasted a second or 2 & the all was ok again. These episodes would come at random times - sometimes 1 a month, sometimes 2 a month, then maybe none for a coup...

I am sure a lot of you have already experienced free camping along our mighty Murray River. There are numerous spots to camp! I personalty love the beaches around Tocumwal & between Cobram & Yarrawonga ( Cobrawonga). Not all sites would be suitable for big rigs but there are quite a few that yo...

Over the past few months we've camped near Victorian State Game Reserves adjacent to Yambuk (5 nights) on the West coast & Marlay Point (4 nights) on the East coast. It's currently Duck hunting season in Victoria. At both locations we've awoken to shotgun fire at around 4am in the morning. How exa...

I have a Scania K92 with the original Air conditioner unit on the roof. Find it leaks in wet weather as well as in humid weather when operation. Drains are all in place. Coachair unit works like a charm.

A woman asks her husband at breakfast time.. "Would you like some crispy bacon and eggs, a slice of toast, and maybe some grapefruit juice and coffee"?.. He declines..."Thanks for asking love, but I'm not real hungry right now...its this Viagra..it's really taken the edge off my appetite."... At l...

Read it all the way through! It's a good laugh! AND really quite true!!A good laugh for people in the over 70 group !!!When I bought my Blackberry, I thought about the 30-year business I ran with 1800 employees, all without a cell phone that plays music,takes videos, pictures and communicates with Fac...

I would like to recommend the Evening Star to anyone heading to Charleville. Dot and Neil are two of the most genuine people I have meet in the outback so far. They are joyous and accommodating. Their love of the area is infectious. The cow bell rings for happy hour, damper, camp oven cooking at 1630. The...
