Hi Guys. I hope I'm putting thisin the right section here. I've recently purchased a weber baby Q and now I'm wondering where to mount a second gas bottle to use with it. I will probably carry the weber in the back of the tug due to lack of anywhere in or on the van. So my thoughts so far are that I might mount th...

Great place for a day, a week, a month. Cheap weekly rates, mostly grassy, sheltered sites, good water and amenities. 5 Minute walk to major supermarkets, and 50 variety shops. Bonnie and James are managers... very helpful and friendly. Pet friendly, but dawgs MUST be on leads.

This is our system of transferring water from a container into the van or collecting water from a creek etc. We have been using this method for quite some time and it works really well. Runs from a 7amp hr battery which is in a carry bag with a cigarette lighter adaptor attached when away from the van. Just...

I was sitting on the edge of the bed, watching my wife who was looking at herself in the mirror. Since her birthday was not far off I asked what she'd like to have for her birthday. 'I'd like to be eight again', she replied, still looking in the mirror. On the morning of her birthday, I arose early, made her a...

Benalla-ite, Val, came for a drive to Greens today to see what all the fuss was about. She was suitably impressed. What a lovely lady, had a great chat. Look forward to seeing you again one day if I ever make it to Tassie to your new home.

First night back on the road after Christmas at home and Spent the night at the free stop in Port Albert, what a great place to stop for the night. Fish and chips in the customs house are amazing. Two other vans hers overnight but then right on dusk to backpackers moved in, about 5 wiz bangs and three grou...

A question about free camping. I would like to know the most remote/isolated free camping park that anyone has been to. Thanks Helen

For those that fill their on van water tanks from the drain outlet, can you elaborate or link to what fittings used. Want as few connections as possible. Thanks all. Cheers.

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...

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...
