Hello to all you Grey Nomads. We are about to set off from Tassie on a year's trip around the big island. We hope to see a lot and, especially, to get to Darwin this time, as we did not make it on our previous trip in 2012. We will be in the same van, a 2003 Galaxy Mk II pop-top, but we will keep an eye out for an upg...

If you have read the Basic information about solar you now understand what solar can do for you, and you may now be thinking you would like to add solar to your set up, or perhaps if you already have solar you may be considering increasing how much solar you have. The intention of the following informati...

I am planning to travel along the West Coast during the winter months (June - September) next year and some people tell me it is not necessary to book Caravan Parks in advance. Others tell me it is a must as they are normally booked out. I would appreciate any of your views if you are familiar with the area d...

Well being relatively new in Grey Nomads, I am not quite sure what I can and can't do with regards to size of posts. 2 or 3 years ago I decided to put some of my memories onto my computer, just to convince myself I have that mysterious thing called Alzheimer's under control. A couple...

I am looking for a hard body slide-on camper to suit a 2.5 turbo diesel cab/chassis crew cab. My budget is a maximum of $18,000 for the slide-on unit. Is this budget a realistic spend for something up to 15 years old and can any of the Nomads comment on recommendations. Any advice would be appreciated.

Have got the setup online and running, but I'm a bit disappointed with the tri-pod. Does anyone out there have the "Access antennas" tripod with the folding square tube legs. I want to know if they have a second bush on the lower part of the outer tube. I have only a bush in the top, and the tube s...
