And we managed to sneak out without the administrator noticing. In all seriousness we had a great week, hardly posted while we were there, but then that is not surprising, as we were flat out being nomads, hard job, 24 * 7, with no breaks.I arrived on Sunday, and the place was almost empty, with about 30...

We are contemplating getting a set of these for our 25ft Jayco Sterling awning. Half of us is concerned about high winds and the possibility of damage to the van not to mention being blown away if there is a gale. Anybody out here with these fitted? And any advice regarding their reliability?

Well - today is the day we leave Greens Lakes, thanks to the idiotic behaviour of some over the last couple of New Year's Eves. The lake will be closed from midday today until New Years Day - and we have all had to find alternate places to go. Some left yesterday to camp at Girgarre, some left to start thei...

In a previous life as Phil C I had a number of significant meltdowns and bad experiences, some in this forum. Firstly my profound apologies for those episodes. I am now on new meds and they are working a treat, the BIG key here is doing what my doc says. We often get this attack of stupidity and think all is w...

[spoiler] Yes, I'm a Dinosaur. What is a "WIFI Dongle"? How do they work? Would they be an advantage for a Grey Nomad on the road wanting to use his/her laptop or iPad??

Hi all. Wondering if anyone knows about this. Our Jayco Conquest step has been getting soft. It bends down when stepping onto it. I tightened the nuts to the chassis but it seems that the mechanism is worn. Took it to a repair yard yesterday and they replaced it with a Techna Nuova Mapa model. Apart from t...
