We recently purchased a small slow cooker (1.5ltr), its perfect for the two of us. Anyway we brought a nice piece of Silverside, obviously its two big for the slow cooker, cut in half is perfect for us, stuck the half in the freezer. Slow cooked silverside with swede, carrot, onion, parsnip, spuds, pea...

Hi All We are booked in at Rawnsley Park Caravan Park next week and they have kennels that you can book your dog into for the day while you explore Wilpena etc. as dogs aren't allowed. Just wondered if anyone has used the kennel facilities at Rawnsley and would appreciate any comments good and bad. Many t...

Q:I am new to this guys. Should my inverter automatically take over when I withdraw the 240 mains power?

The ANEMO is running the biggest ponsi game suggesting the new interconnector between SA/Vic and NSW will transmit renewable power between staates. At this very moment only 2 states have excess power generation and thats Qld and Tas, NSW is almost always short every day, SA most nights requires a to...

I have a thetford N604M.3F which works on 240 & battery when driving. When chsnged to gas it gets up to temp but then will not turn back on & everything defrosts.Had gas checked & cleaned all parts pilot light stays on When turned to high it starts again but freezes everything. Turn down to m...

This issue is explained in the user manual. That is the adjusting control (remote head) is installed where the plastic is too thick. I've done a video (click link below) that shows the problem. An easy fix is to put a bit of something (cardboard) in the knob to raise it up on the spindle. Cheers Tony. [vi...

The Melbourne International Comedy Festival. What a mob of hypocritical self-aggrandizing weasels. They claim they never cancelled Barry, however the fact that they removed his name from the Barry Award in 2019 is on record, for the simple reason that some of his opinions upset a couple of people w...

Hi all. I hope ANZAC day was a time of remembrance and the celebration of the galant heroes who gave their lives for us all. On the Caravan front, I was wondering if anyone knew how to test a Dometic CoolPower MP550 unit. When I switch from 240V to Battery, this unit is supposed to switch automatically to 1...

I recently sold a Motorhome for a considerable amount $. On the receipt for the sale I included a clause stating that the MH is purchased " As Is and no warranty or guarntee is implied" which the purchaser signed.The purchaser drove the vehicle for several thousand K's before having a problem with said...

Hi Guys; This may be a little out there, but since purchasing my 4X4 i have found that tyre pressure is critical to its handling. Additionally, I noticed a slight pull to the right at 100kph a few months back and stupidly ignored it. The massive bang accompanied with a steering difficulty (nothing dan...

Interesting the LDV eT60 @ $93,000 is a fit for a tradie or grey nomad ?The eT60 is based on a regular T60 Max Pro, which costs $43,148 for private buyers when paired with an 8-speed automatic gearbox. The Pro trim level is the entry-point to the T60 model range and unlike more expensive Luxe versions, i...

I get most of my Australian news from ABC local radio and ABC News Radio but I have not heard a peep on even one of their news broadcasts about Senator Lidia Thorp who, it appears, was recently cavorting in the street outside a Melbourne strip club at 1am loudly accusing men of having small penises. Unusu...

Hi folks, Looking to manoeuvre a van nose in to an RV garage so I can use it as a spare bedroom - ie with access door opposite side to wall. My research has narrowed it down to the above 2. Has anyone had any real world experience with either? Van will be a 3500 kg dual axle (actual weight about 3350 kg). Thank...

Wonder about the towball weight on this setup. Front axle of trailer is a lot further up inside the mudguard than is the rear axle, and rear of car appears to be a lot closer to the ground than does the front. Another driver with no idea? Cheers

I'm sitting in my caravan on Kerang Racecourse, Victoria gazing through the window at a block of silos and realising I have no idea how they work. They store grain, I realise, but how does it get in there? And out? What are the chimney like things for? What is the tall dark grey tower for? These are mysteri...
