Hi there and a happy new year to u all. As I have no knowledge about batteries I thought I would ask here. We have a Jayco Optimum motorhome and it is parked up at home until April, the problem I have is to do with the house batteries. I had them turned off at the main switch and checked them every two or three we...

Hi All, we are heading to Ashford for a few days and hopefully get some fishing in. There appears to be a few options on Wikicamps including a NP just a few km's away. Just wondering if anyone has a spot you would recommend. Thanks in advance.

I was walking down the street when I was accosted by a particularly dirty and shabby-looking homeless man who asked me for a couple of dollars for dinner. I took out my wallet, extracted ten dollars and asked,"If I give you this money, will you buy some beer with it instead of dinner?" &q...

What sort of water pump should I purchase. Looking for a 12 volt pump that I can pump from a creek & use for a shower etc near & around the van. Prefer something that doesn't take a lot to prime or is self priming, reasonably compact & light, let's say about 3 meter head or more & maybe have a...

Just saw on the News that a Retired Couple from Hervey Bay Won Lotto. Was wondering if it was Crusin Cruze ?????? ; )

Hi, being new to the Nomads, I have recently purchased a second hand motorhome in which there was a 'Command Power' 950 2 stroke Petrol Generator (it is a bright blue unit with black). Knowing nothing about generators, I was wondering if there is anyone out there who may know where I can obtain a man...

We had a problem with our breakaway battery losing it's charge when the van was not in use, to overcome this we came up with a simple solution using a 10 watt solar panel with its own regulator connected to a lead outside the van using a cigarette lighter socket. This keeps the battery fully charged, pro...

Broome in August/September is a very special place. Despite what some people say on this forum Broome is a very magical location and has a lot to offer no matter what your budget dictates. We spent 10 days in Broome parked up at Roebuck Bay @ $49 per night. This is on the water front and the only park in Broo...

We are in Carnarvon for just over a week, and a mate (Weevil) arranged for me and Young Simmo to meet up. It was great that he took the time to come around and have a yarn for a while. I think he's the first Grey Nomad I have met up with. He said the same.

Not for me. I'd be a gibbering heap of fear within 10 steps and then they'd have to bring in the SES to get off of here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4MDy9ChGks Dave

G'day all. Well I'm new to this forum so I had better introduce myself. I go by the name Spokkie as in Star Trek. We're onto our 2nd caravan, it is a 2015 20' Jayco Starcraft Outback. We tow it with a 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited. We are extremely pleased with the tow vehicle as it is doing a great job. The...

I notice posts and stories being shut down when they are just starting to warm up. Why can't the Moderators just remove the offending comment and let the discussion continue? I don't sling MUCK, I just try to give back what I get. The "DRIVING OVER THE AGE OF 70! is a good example. I'm not sure if I am...

Hi all, Just looking at the dates for this years show 9th - 17th April. I hope we pass again as seniors this year $20 pop. Adults $25. I've been told I would pass for 70 no problem, after the last round. How much for Two . Self funded discount perhaps. Jayco Discounts maybe. Might have to find another wa...

Hello all, We have the roadside assist for the bus covered by Ken Tame/CMCA, but having acquired a car, have to think on that. We are currently in Queensland, but being full-time on the road, will be shifting about. We have a physical address (family in QLD) we can use as a 'base', and a PO Box for mail. ...

I finally have done it..I left Cairns (home) and I'm on my way down to #1 on my bucket list "The great Ocean Rd". Currently staying at Erowal Bay and taking my time. It's great to escape the heat and rain and the scenery is great and I am hoping to meet up with some of you travelers along the way.
