I'm getting pretty good results with this. My brain fog which was probably MCI starting and other health problems like aches and pains are much improved. It seemed too simple at first but the science behind it is good. I read several evidence based research articles before giving it a go. It's because...

Hi Everyone, We're considering buying a Gold Star caravan Based in SA. But cannot find many testimonials. The actual van is reputedly made in China and is shipped over in container - not flat packed - and then wheels are fitted to the chassis in Australia. Also all the appliances etc such as A/con,w/m...

I've been staying at my sisters place in Perth off and on since we arrived here in December (more off than on, so not here all the time), parked up in the backyard behind gates and using the motorhome to sleep in and the house for our amenities etc... Unfortunately my sister has one of those neighbours tha...

It has the compressor in the lid (Esky like) The beast works really well when the 240 v adapter (transformer or whatever the term is) is plugged in. The 12 Volt lead shows power is at the lead but it will not run when plugged in to 12...

I usually get close to where I want to be, but at the last minute the Garmin will want to take me bush. Is there...

Our previous campervan was a Hiace. We were able to buy an annex from BCF that went over the rear of the van and enabled us to leave the door open in rain and gave us a bit more storage when camped. It also kept the sun off the upholstery and helped keep the van cooler in hot weather. We now have a high roof Tran...

The hours do drag along slowly during a restless night. A hot cuppa tea and a thick slice of fruit cake , yep .... that helps i tried a few nips of ginger ale and whiskey but that started to lead to a bad habit... I put the brakes on that . There must be some sleep provoking activity ? Arousing the brain too...

I am genuinely interested, not looking at starting fight or anything, but am curious to see the different rational. I have sold my camper trailer, and having studied the info am going to go straight for a smaller 5 wheeler. I just can't see the logic in having a vehicle tied up as part of the van unit. My li...

We are first time travellers and will be caravaning from Perth to Queensland (via the top end). We intend to use free camping wherever possible and would like to know what we should take with us to enable us to free camp. This is a trial to see if our bodies can handle caravaning.
