We have been to the caravan shows and looked at second hand vans in the category of SEMI OF ROAD over the last few years to the point of confusion, so we have stayed away from looking for a few month so we could clear our heads and as said it now time to come up with our ideal van. We have looked at the Paramount U...

Sarah had a rooster not performing it went into the soup pot and was replaced. This took a lot of time, so she bought some tiny bells and attached them to her roosters. Each bell had a different tone, so she could tell from a distance which rooster was performing. Now, she could sit on the porch and fill out...

We hear lots of stories about welfare cheats, dole bludgers, people who have never worked a day in their life and so on. If one of these characters draws a welfare cheque for the whole of their adult life and then, at 65, goes onto an Aged Pension, is that person really "retiring?". This has bugged me for s...

POTUSJust as our basic vocabulary grows and evolves on an almost daily basis,so too does our usage of technical terminology and acronyms.For example, the president, of our once-great Nation, has been identifiedby the acronym "POTUS," which used to stand for "President Of The UnitedStates." How...

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...
