Hi, The passenger seat of our Prado isn't very comfortable and makes my back and legs ache. The drivers seat is better, so I am guessing whoever had the car before was a heavier person and maybe flattened the cushioning of the seat. So my question is... Do you use any extra support on your seat on the long t...

G'day. This week, PJ is booked in for a few jobs after which I thought I might skedaddle for my second shakedown here on the Mid North Coast of NSW. But it's holiday time and the area is packed with tourists as you'd expect. I'm hoping GNs with experience during busy tourist seasons can advise me whether t...

Are there any GN,s around Portland at the moment ?

Gday... There once was a young boy with a very bad temper. The boy's father wanted to teach him a lesson, so he gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper he must hammer a nail into their wooden fence. On the first day of this lesson, the little boy had driven 37 nails into the fence....

She took the box and promised to put it in the crew's refrigerator. He advised her that he was holding her personally responsible for them staying frozen, mentioning i...

There is an unpleasant odour emanating from the caravan galley sink. I don't know what I could safely use to clean the grey water piping to eliminate this smell. Does anyone have a recommendation for what I could use?

As you would expect Billeee beat me to the post but it is here anyway. One thing that is consistent at Greens Lake is the wind, last year my shower tent was blown over and this year it took another beating but has survived I think it is more about flexibility than strength. That is all in the past now and w...

As reported months ago, this rest area was having a major overhaul. It used to have up to 14 overnighters at times (and sometimes they would stay over a month!). Everything has changed. There is now a new access road from the Princes Highway. You can either park in small bays near picnic tables if you hav...

G'day Nomads. PJ has two Fiamma awnings... one at the side, and one at the rear. I didn't install them but I still have the brochures which mention that the vinyl awnings are designed to create shade in sunny weather, not to provide protection from rain. I would have thought they were designed for both....
