I note that quite a few Nomads are using domestic refrigerators. A point that is never brought up is that these fridges pull the heat out of the inside of the fridge and dump it into the room its in.

Needless to say, I bought one today. Cheers...

It had to run off a Honda EM500U generator (450Watt) as well as a 300watt Modified sinewave inverter. As purchased it wouldn't run on either powersupply as the start current was to...

Hi everybody, has anyone installed a Camec Elite Caravan Mover onto a twin axle van. We have put ours on and all motors work in th correct direction but we can't get the four motors synced to just one remote control instead of using two remotes.

Hi, can anyone tell me if Broadwater Recreation Reserve (on the Burnett Highway near Nanango) is listed yet in Camps 8? Not coming up in updates, but wanted to double check.

The last few weeks haven't been very good for me, with getting my dads place ready for sale, and my own health problems etc... but I bought myself a birthday present and went and saw MR Billy Idol, at the Win Entertainment Centre in Wollongong (NSW)... The support act was Cheap trick, which I knew of and t...
