Decided to take myself for a drive to Greens Lake today to spend an hour or so in the company of GN's that are currently there. It was wonderful to be having the travelling conversation again, missing the road. I am currently house sitting in Lancefield and after three weeks in a house I am ready to hit the...

Standard vinyl awning as fitted to Jayco etc, over New Year we stayed at the town of 1770, and it teemed with rain, the awning leaked like the proverbial, everything under it got soaked, I could not determine where it was coming in, it seemed OK where it attaches to the roof of the pop top. Underneath was l...

New style windows -YUK. We are looking at buying a new van (semi off road etc)but really don't like the new style push out, slide down, slide up windows. They seem very fragile. Even saw a new one in sale yard broken and torn. What was wrong with the wind out ones that didn't let insects in as you open the...

I would like to workout how long my battery will discharge itself before a recharge is needed. I have dual NS70ZZ batteries running as a 24v setup and am planning to run my caravan lighting from these while free camping. I have a Landcruiser 80 Series and wary of flattening the batteries.

I woke up this morning at 2:30 am, which seems to be the usual time I wake up. Logged on to GN forum and can see I'm not the only one that's awake. So out of curiosity how many of you have a disrupted nights sleep, or wake up in the wee hours, wee included, and all those thoughts wizz about in your head and you can...

Hi. I hope I'm not opening a thread that has been covered before, but I've looked without success. I apologise if I have. I have bought a Dometic replacement awning, complete with roller. It is pre-tensioned. Does the pretension exist at the deployed status (ie. Fully rolled out and ready to re-win...

just heard that there is a snake posse searching woodland around Gold Coast searching for a Boa Constrictor loose. Maybe we need to alert backpackers thinking of camping in secluded areas there not to leave their campers Or better still, head for the airport! Probably sold as a pet and it has eaten it...
