Hi all, we will be in Katherine in August and need somewhere to store our van for about 6 weeks. Anyone have any suggestions would be appreciated.

I have recently bought an ex-ambulance, already converted. I wondered about the feasibility and cost of replacing the sliding door. Does anyone have an opinion (considered or otherwise!) about this option? Monica

Hi all Probably been asked before, but I am sick of flies and their mates enjoying the flysprays we pay so much for that never work. I have just drowned a fly in my van and the bugger flew past me and I swear he had a smile on his face. Is there a flyspray that actually works? Is there a repellent that actually w...

As a follow on from my previous trailor plug thread. I have bitten the bullet and got a 12 pin socket and started to change over the car socket to 12 pin. Only problem is the Colorado has 9 wires in the 7 pin plug, with the other two marked as 'Parking Aid Earth' and 'Parking Aid Ground' respectively. I al...

We are in two minds about whether we need a generator for our travels - mainly at free camping sites or places with no power available. We are in Tasmania at present but only here for another month and house sitting for 2 weeks of that time. Then we will be travelling north to NT and then down through WA un...

Hi all, I have a 2007 AVan with a large skylight where the flyscreen section has torn. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement or alternatively know how to remove the old broken one and replace. It is not the concertina type mentioned in other posts I found I the techie forum. I have (hopefully) att...

Just noticed that the Colorado has standard 7 pin flat trailer socket but from memory the van has a 12 pin flat plug (7 in one row and 5 in the other) - Silly question but do I need a convertor or will the 7 pin top of the 12 pin fit in the 7 pin socket. Picking up the van towards the end of the month and only just re...

Our private health insurance is costing us a bomb and we're thinking about cancelling it. However, from what we can see online and info from the SA Ambulance Service there's no way to get national ambulance cover unless its part of a private health insurance package. A search on the forum archives ret...

Yesterday we had Darrell and Sandra (Old Boar) leave us for places north, will miss them after travelling together on and off for the last four or five months. Michael, (mickmil2) rocked in to say hello, and spend the night, good to see him again, reckon he will be back. Goode (Chris and Joy), arrived mi...

I hope you all have a great 2015 with a lot of travelling but most of all keep healthy and stay safe. ...
