Went down to the beach at Sunrise to photograph "Sculptures by the Sea". Some better exhibits this year and some that I totally do not understand or the so-called artist is taking the piss. I think this one was part of the exhibition, or someone had a fire in their van. If you are interested there are a...

Not long ago, a merchant found monkeys living near a village. One day he came to the village stating that he wanted to buy monkeys for $100 each. The villagers thought that the man must be crazy. Why would somebody buy stray monkeys at $100 each? Still, people caught monkeys and sold them to the Merchant...

Thursday this week I went from south of NSW to Sydney for a medical appointment and returned today friday back home. The wind from around Yass to just south of Narellen was terrible, a skinny person would have been blown off the road if standing on the verge. Not quite as bad today but was amazed us was th...

Hard to believe people still fall for this stuff! A quote from the article states ""If people are attracted to it, there's something in your social cohesion and social structures which is not working.These people are looking for meaning as a result of something being wrong."I agree.https://www.a...

It wasn't 'Monty', our resident python who we see around the house now & then. This one has different markings just behind his head & on his tail, & like 'Monty' has a tick just behind it's eye, but Monty's Tick is behind his right eye, this one is on the left. Recently we've been worried ab...

RV Water Tank Drain Relocation The fresh water tanks on my Traveller caravan are mounted transversly, one between the dual axles and one just forward of them to minimize changes to the centre of gravity between empty and full. Great. Except that the drain valves are inside the chassis rails and can...

My new Pathfinder has over a metre, and the factory tongue is a little short . My Adria 3004 hitch touches on the vertical part of the tongue. Bad design for euro hitches.IMO. I bought a new HR tongue that is welded on a 45deg angle but its about 30mm longer to the ball, that gives me plenty of clearance. Tha...

I am having trouble removing the grub screws from the awning arm in order to replace the sliding unit. Does any one know what size Allen key would fit? If indeed it is an Allen key and not some other special fitting sent to render me insane. Smith

Hi all, asking for a bit of advice re changing from my current Gas HWS Suburban 20 litre storage unit to an Instantaneous Gas system. I have had the current system 'serviced' by a caravan outfit but still not happy with the time taken to get started properly(3-4 or more attempts) and the time taken to hea...

I have the legend of error codes for new Dometic Harrier Air Conditioner if anyone wants a copy. New to forum so I'll need help to upload 3page pdf. Suprisingly these error codes are not in the user's manual. The error codes are displayed on the internal fan unit whenever there is a problem but unless you...

I have some specialised electrical copper cable which has broken and I wish to solder the broken ends back together. Easy enough you may think, as did I, until I stripped the insulation back and discovered the cable has been seriously overloaded for some time and the copper cores have discoloured to d...

Just enquiring as to what people do to combat noisy WDBs

Am I correct to assume standby and float charge are the same thing ?

It was nice waking up to perfectly cooked porridge in the Ecopot new to me but I'm sure some of you have good and bad stories! If any of you are still using one could you share a few recipes tips and hints please. Today I'm trying a boiled fruit cake it's the only treat we allow ourselves loves now we've give...

I have a Smev cooktop and stove combo in my van. The flick mixer tap has started leaking and in my opinion needs replacing. The question is can I replace it with one purchased from Bunnings provided its the same diameter hole or do I have to go via a caravan parts supplier.

Anybody out there know where to purchase a replacement switch for the one just left of the door. It has three modes, off, dim blue light for night & on for bright. Andre

Im hoping to fix a stainless D grip to the screen door above the plastic internal handle . Reason is that we have had the existing handle break and thought that using something else to close the door would prevent further breakages . I do realise that the aluminium door frame is not very thick and that th...
