Here are a few pics of bus. We are currently house sitting in NSW.

I am just a new member of this site and would like to just say hello to all the other grey nomads out there, as I have already met a few on the road and where I am currently staying at Inskip Point. I will be here for a while as I have blown the clutch in the bus as I came through Gympie a couple of weeks ago, and am st...

Took delivery of my Birdsville 2 years ago and hung the spare keys in the cupboard. Had cause to move them a couple of days ago and for ease went to use then to open the storage locker. The spare key is uncut, just a blank. As I had the original it did not cause a problem, but it could have done. It may only be a f...

Can anyone out there tell me what temp. range my wheel bearings should run at? I have a small pop top with a few changes. It is a single axle with 15" wheels and light truck tyres.

I just fitted a Roamsafe security screen door to the motorhome. Subsequently I want to sell the old Hehr screen door from the Winnebago but I cannot find any for sale to get an idea of what it is worth. Anybody have experience with buying or selling one?

Today we travelled over about 100 k's of dirt road, mostly corrugated, several dips, (one with lotsa water, which I diligently walked through), and I never want to feel so shaken and rattled again! My arthritis hates all the vibrations, so I'm on the pain-killers this evening. Yes, Mr D had lowered th...
