Hi people my names Ben and I'm about to head off around Australia with my family. I recently purchased off a friend the basics of a solar set up which included a set of 240w folding solar panels with mppt charger, a 12v 200ah AGM deep cycle battery, a noco G7200 smart charger and a 300w pure sine wave invert...

In my Coromal pop top I have a Truma LPG/240v HWS, which I am told by the Coromal agent that sold me the van does not have a sacrificial anode like other HWSs. My question is do I have to drain the tank when the van is sitting around for a few months?

Fire is powerful. There is nothing quite like sitting next to a campfire in the bush and surrounded by the darkness of night. We cook on it, heat with it and soak up its warmth. We love to hear the cracking of the fire, the smell of it and see the flickering flames. -- Edited by leestevo on Saturday 28...

Hi we are headed to SA after Xmas and want to explore these two places before heading across the Nullarbor to explore WA. Any suggestions of free or low cost Pet friendly sites would be greatly appreciated, we do have Camps 7 and Wiki camps. Just like to hear from people who have actually been at these si...

hi all nice to meet you all , at such a lovely spot , It was a great day,

Just bought a new Jayco Silverline Outback any pros or cons to look out for. Picking up in 7 days.

Oop's, I put this in General and should have put it here in I Digress, naughty boy. I get the feeling that there are a lot of Sand Gropers in the Grey Nomads, so I thought if you haven't seen this it might bring back a few memories, especially some of the cars in Hay Street opposite London Court. Simmo. ht...

Has anybody got any links to sites to find lost super? If so it would save me a bit of searching if you could put something up on here. Thanks in advance.................Simmo.

Gday... Cheers - John

I have noticed in various remarks on the subject that some people use all types of 20lt drums to contain their grey water, so I went looking for something with wheels on it as the back is not much chop these days, there are plenty available on google. Having then read the CMCA policy on Self Contained Vehi...

Caravan parks and the Showgrounds are not what I call good value BUT we now have a park opened up at Roma Gun Club which is very good value with spotless amenities and large sites for aprox $10 per night cheaper.We stayed for a week and had gun noise for less than an hour on Thursday night only,$25 per night...

We found it does not pay to leave the cap of the toilet cassette on the side of dump point pit. Knocked it down the hole. Lesson learned $20 later for new cap. Olive oil helps slide when applied to rubber lip seal for easier sliding.

After picking up our new van a couple of weeks ago, the weekend just gone was our first trip away. A massive 70km from home (and that was the long way there ). At an ATM of 2740kg the Triton (3000kg ATM) certainly knows it's pulling something now. The Jayco Camper and the 15' Crusader pop top we previously h...

Temperatures got down to 24 F (-5 C) and charging LFP at temperatures below C will supposedly cause degradation of LFP cells. Have put a remote thermometer ($18 US at any hardward store) in same compartment as the battery suite. It only got down to 40 F (5 C) due to fairly good insulation (walls are abou...
