This is too funny to be dirty - enjoy! The husband leans over and asks his wife, 'Do you remember the first time we had sex together over fifty years ago? We went behind the village tavern where you leaned against the back fence and I made love to you.' Yes, she says, 'I remember it well.' OK,' he says, 'How...

Looking for anyone out there who has installed a small split system in a Flamingo or Swan. I have a Flamingo. I reckon it could be just squeezed in on the back wall below the below rear bed? Would probably need to be largely recessed out the back of the van to enable access to the microwave. Bit neverous abo...

Hi guys, My partner and I are travelling up the north coast, and finding work as we go but was curious as to what the go with using a campsite as my address during on-peak times as I cannot afford to stay at a caravan park when its currently $300 per week for a site.

WINNEWS Bendigo came to Corop today to interview people about the closure over the New Year period. I was asked if I would like to be interviewed, as well as the shop owners and some customers who fish at the lake. They came here to our "paddock camp", and asked a few questions, took some film...

If your van, mobile home etc has a fire extinguisher and it is getting towards 10 yrs old or older it needs to be replaced, I was walking through Aldi yesterday and noticed that they had 1kg powder type A,B &E for sale at $19.99 which is a reasonable price. Should your extinguisher by less than 10 year...

I was searching for the names of some caravan clubs and saw this one in the Google search, a newie on me. I am not being judgemental, each to their own and wish their caravan club and forum well, it shows the popularity of the RV lifestyle in all walks of life. The name stuck out as it was so close to Grey N...

During some windy weather just prior to Christmas one of the support arms on one of my push out windows snapped off when a strong gust of wind went through. The remaining arm does hold the window open but I need to find a way to 'help' it so that it too does not break, these window parts are really expensive...

Getting a new van, whichbis the better way to go, gas or diesel. Any comments would be good. Cheers penny

Hi all All the best for your celebrations tonight and New Year. May it be a good one for all those travelling our wonderful country. Advice please on something that is no doubt obvious to all but me. I have just replaced the hot water anode in the heating system and I am curious to know whether by filling o...

Over the last year I have gradually refined the setup and loading of our van, and it is fair to say I had it towing exactly as I wanted it, with a fair degree of load tolerance.I set of from Greens on Sunday to return to Melbourne, and the van felt OK all the way through Tatura, Murchison, and then down the Gou...
