Hi Everyone. I am not sure if this the right forum however I am hoping that some of you Grey Nomads may also be (or have been) involved in Over 55's Living. I am a single retired gent who is looking at buying into an Over 55's. I am fit and well and 60yo. Depending where I buy, I may also be purchasing a small MH s...

This was the first day that I have travelled without a destination planned, I have always had a Camps reference to get to. This was the first time that I have used a GPS to guide me on my way, it was good but took me through Benella instead of taking me the truck route that I used last time which was quicker an...

Certain brands of computers using the LS-15 power cords have been identified as having a potential fire hazard concerning the 240V power cord that plugs into the power pack. Basically, the cord will overheat a...

Gidday; Okay I am about to invest in one of these freezer/fridge mahjiggers and need some feedback on who thinks which is best and why. I've heard the sales ramble re Waeco, better warranty/compressor/cooler etc. But thats from a salesperson, not an end-user. I would like to know if there are any glar...

What really annoys me is those announcers on the television who cannot speak without waving their hands about. The weather cannot be described without that four finger point and up and down movement, any other point to be made has to be accompanied by double karate chops whilst every other comment i...

Hi, I need a better understanding of the basics of what is needed to use wiki camps on an android phone_ samsung s5. Do you need to download an offline maps program to use wiki without an internet connection ? I really have no idea how it all works, so if some knowlegable folks can sort me out I would greatly...

The new owners drove away with our caravan today, they will enjoy giving it plenty of work and we are very pleased. Selling the van has been an interesting experience, we first advertised it in November with very few enquiries, then discovered a roof-leak, so withdrew the ad, and booked it in to Jayco t...

I wonder if anyone would be interested in swapping a few hours work in return for free camping on our block near Adelaide river/Batchelor? No facilities and on a dirt road but dump points and water in both towns. Big fire pit wildlife and close to river fishing and Litchfield. How does this sort of thing...

G'day All, I need to have my van taken to Perth from Sydney as I cannot get time away at the moment. Has anyone used any transport companies that they would recommend? Cheers for any help in advance, Boyd

I rinsed the area of the van where the removable cassette is kept. There is now 15mm of water sitting on the bottom. Should there be a drain hole? I thought I would ask first as it is always difficult for me to get under the van and back up again!!! I call it research to save energy..MINE... Aussie Paul. -- E...
