Hi all not a nice subject but what chemical can I buy (at BCF) that will break down solid waste. We have a blocked toilet and before anyone asks, its not a cassette or ordinary run of the mill loo, this is a rolling stone special like the rest of the bus. I need to get something to pour down the loo as we are g...

Can someone please advise as to whether "pink slips" are required to register a van in NSW if it is under 3 years old. Thx.

Not sure if we're alone, but we have difficulty sometimes removing the seal inside the screw off cap on Coles brand milk bottles - it's just new so I'm not sure if other brands have this but eventually they all will. Sometimes we have to use a pair of pliers to grip the tag as it is slippery. The advantage se...

Centrelink very kindly pay towards our weekly site fees whilst we're travelling around Australia. We don't often stay in caravan parks and certainly not for a full week. Does anyone know if they'll pay daily fees or does it have to be a full week? We're at the show grounds in Alice Springs displaying...

I phoned Paul (My Van) and was surprised to find that he had left Cooktown and returned to Gracemere just south of Rockhampton and I was just north of Rocky so I decided to give him a v...
