Hello, my name is Fran and have been dreaming for this day for a few months, reading all the exciting trips, great picks and advice. I'm in the middle of looking for a motorhome to call my own, I rang the RACV and they don't do inspections on motorhome, my delima is I'm mechanically challenged, can anyone...

I went to see a financial planner the other day as I hope to retire in about six years and thought some planning may help. The planner is a fee for service, that is, he receives no commissions from any products he recommends. He has charged a once off $3000 for the plan. He says that six monthly reviews are f...

Now that I'm a Pensioner I cannot afford to stay in expensive caravan parks any more... I am now forced to go free camping!

On Sat. night we visited friends who live 8 kms out of Kuranda for dinner. Had a great time but then we started home. I was driving as Keith had enjoyed a couple glasses of wine. FOG I wasn't prepared for it & it certainly made driving a bit scary. The lights on our poor little Suzuki didn't cope v...

Grins and Snickers I was in the six item express lane at the store quietly fuming.

Imagine my delight when the cashier beckoned the woman to come forward looked into the c...

Great history, beautiful scenery but hellishly expensive place to visit. Not a single caravan park in town that is pet friendly or for that matter, sensibly priced and no public dump point provided. One caravan park has a dump point. Broome's Gateway and the Roebuck Roadhouse parks, both more than 2...

A question to those of you that have purchased a new caravan or similar in recent times. Whenever I have bought a new vehicle in the past I have always had a "free" first service after a short time or distance traveled. When I bought my new Camper Trailer last year from JAYCO I had a "Free" service after a sh...

The below info came from a bank employee and is not a hoax. A friend of mine just tried it also and got $70 off their next bill and $25 off the next 7 bills. I assume it reverts to normal after that, I am waiting for a call back on mine so will see how I go. "If you have gas at home supplied by Alinta Gas,...

Sorry for the shops, etc in Benalla, you will not be getting our money, food, fuel,...

Hi all In the UK we laugh at the Americans who think they can "do" Britain in 3 days on their 3 week tour of Europe. Now I feel I may be doing the same in NSW. Wife and I are spending 19 days in a campervan this coming October. We will be visiting friends in Berkeley for 2 days so have 17 days to "d...

A friend recently had a water leak showing up in their Winnibago and put it in to get checked out... Fortunately this one got written off by the insurance company but lots that aren't properly insured get put on the market for unsuspecting buyers. This is what the previous owner posted.. "We put i...
