Gday... Cheers - John

Hi all, I'm thinking of upgrading my motorhome to 5.2 tonne. I've checked with the dealer to confirm that it can be done and tried to work out the cost on the RMS website, but found it very confusing. Can with a NSW registered motorhome of that GVM tell me how much they are paying, please?

This is our Target.

Hi all has anyone with a bt50 changed the multimedia for the Polaris system with the 8" screen and if so are you happy with it. I'm thinking of doing it as it has the reversing screen in one and the 4x4 mapping so I haven't got screens all over the windscreen. geoff

Time to start a new thread. My sister sent me this scarf/hat today. It's made from Bamboo Cotton and made by a lady down in Torquay Victoria. Has another smaller scarf in soft blues to have a change. Very comfortable to wear. Sorry about the sideways photo. All done on the phone.

I had to go to Cardwell yesterday to do a few jobs and decided to count the caravans, campertrailers and motor homes. Its approx a 40k trip. 47 caravans, 11 campertrailers and 7 motorhomes. Lucky buggers I also checked out the Tully Showgrounds free camp and 7 vans there. Thats great news for the local b...

Not sure if this is where I should post it but I'd like to hear from anyone that has a bushmaster van or has had one good or bad. Geoff

One week, no power, no water (a little bit maybe), overcast, raining, blowing and stormy. Grey water system worked well and as expected. The 40 litre trundle tank is a little heavy to lift on the ute though and needs a handle at the wheels end. We went through too much water, and will need to conserve mo...

The farmer says, "Some things you just can't explain." "So what happened that is so horrible?" the man asked. The farmer then decides to try an answer, "Well if you must know, today I was sitting by my cow milking her. Just as I got the bucket about full, she took her left leg and kicked it over.""That's no...

Hi All, Thanks everyone for those round one comments. Day two so far so good. Up much earlier at 7.25am. Did the doggie thing again. (No Larry) walking the dog. A bowl of muesli, checked the emails. Checked the online banking (Hoping the Bank had added a few hundred grand extra by mistake.) Waited til...

Right. I'm introducing myself... I had this brilliant idea to live in a bus (reasons why don't matter). Bought a bus that was already fitted out for a small family to camp in once in a while. I really love it but rapidly learned that there's an enormous amount I don't know. Like - what to do about a grey wate...
