Question (Road rules) Can you reverse a vehicle out of a driveway on either public or private property????

Hi all, I have had a few occassions where I got caught out not having a Hiflo diesel inlet on my Colorado so made this up and it actually works well. I got the appropriate size piece of rubber tube to fit the Hiflo gun at the servo and another smaller piece to fit the Collie. I then got the soldering iron heat...

Whilst our van, when we get it, will have its own fridge we'd still like to get a portable one for use with or without the van. Was looking at a Waeco setup in Rays Outdoors (fold up solar panel to battery box to fridge, all Waeco branded). Forget the cost. But when discussing this at work we got the inevitab...

I was getting complaints from my Mac friends that jokes that had been sent to me from other Microsoft users (like me) were being received with no pictures, just crosses. One solution that was very time consuming and impractical for multi pictures was to save the pics to My Pics and then send them from t...

Can anybody help us with gas supply problems to our gas cooker, the flame at gas rings is minute. We have renewed the regulator to we believe the correct one available and the gas fitter adjusted the gas spply pressure and for a couple of days it was very cood but it is now back to a very minute flame.

OK, I know this a long way from Caravans and ways to kill time, but I will ask and see what happens. We are your average 75 year old couple with a Commonwealth Bank, Goal Saver account. It is only paying 2.79% per annum on a monthly basis, as long as it grows by at least $200 every month. Can anybody recommend...

Just purchased my first caravan, a 2007 Bailey Senator Louisiana Series 5 and checking everything works :) The only thing causing confusion is running the DOMETIC REFRIGERATOR MODEL RM 8550L in 12V mode. I'm parked up and connected to 240V mains and not connected to the car. The fridge works fine wh...

On channel 9's Current Affair the other evening an old guy was shown whose caravan had been stolen. He'd been camping at a truck stop for a few months in Melbourne's western suburbs. CCTV caught the thieves on camera towing his van away! Poor bugger was devastated. Jayco's head honcho Gerry Ryan gave h...

Home Security for Seniors Now that I'm on a fixed income, I've disconnected my home alarm system, turned off my external lights and de-registered from Neighbourhood Watch. I've got two Iraqi flags raised in the front garden, one at each corner, And the black flag of ISIS in the centre. Local police...

What was your favourite ice cream or lolly when you were growing up?

Trust you have a great day Julie, Happy Birthday.

I have been in touch with Jayco to enquire about their installation of a grey water tank. However my question is whether the tank (tanks) should be permanently mounted, or portable, i.e. with wheels. What is your say on this and all the related hassles with emptying. How do the various park rules also r...

Hi all, Anybody travelled this road in recent times towing a van? Would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks in advance. Cheers Hurls

"Yep" after spending Months looking for a model Caravan to add to my collection of cars, I called into Kmart today to buy a pair of new strides, I had to walk past the Toy Section and there they were, not many only 4 on the shelf, but one did a quick trip through the Check-out before SWMBO spotted...
