Hi All, Well we picked her up and had a great trip home - catching up with Baz and Jen in Vic and Kat the sis-in-law in Adelaide along the way. Coming home the prevailing winds on the Nullarbor were kind to us - well we didn't have to get out and push it and of course I was keen to "blood it" on the grav...

Gday... Grawin is definitely not a tourist destination but it certainly does have an ambience and basic roughness that you will not find at Lightning Ridge. Grawin is very much a mining town with its own character 37km west of Lightning Ridge. I have visited a few times and I prefer camping here compar...

Just a question going to travel and wondering about my tow vehicle it is a 2003 Toyota Land-cruiser 4700 V8 it only has 172,000 K's, Do you think this tow would be to heavy on petrol or should I trade for a Diesel. I do own my tow and love it.

I'd like to buy a medium-heavy duty tarp to go over our camper trailer (with poles and springers) instead of putting up the annex for short stops. I notice Discount Camping Australia have Ultario brand tarps which are quite cheap, but no idea how well they last. Appear to have D brackets on corners like...

Just recently purchased this Motorhome and it has the Drifter Pro Battery monitor showing me the status of the Batteries. Does this system read all 3 Batteries or on...

Wrong place Ignore this topic -- Edited by my van on Monday 12th of January 2015 08:40:46 PM

Now I've seen enough GNs to know you pretty much all have air-conditioned big rigs, but are there any other fools like us out there struggling with camper trailers? I'd love to get some tips and tricks from other MDC owners. We have the MDC-01 with just the main tent and annex (I think, bought it second ha...

I've done the usual trawl through the 'Help Wanted' adverts on the main page and they all want couples.. I am not a couple anymore. So all there nice jobs seem to toss me out because they want couples. I am just retired not retarded/etc so why the need to ignore someone who is happy to help/work, just bec...

I found a cheap way to move things around rather than using Australia Post. I recently had to get part of my Annexe sent up from Brisbane to Katherine and used the Greyhound Bus Freight. Cheep and arrives really quick. Sent on Tuesday arrived on Saturday with Xmas on Thursday and FRiday. Amazing servic...

A thief in Paris planned to steal some paintings from the Louvre. After careful planning, he got past security, stole the paintings and made it safely to his van. However, he was captured only two blocks away when his van ran out of fuel. When asked how he could mastermind such a crime and then make such a...
