I keep the 2x12 volt Calcium DC/ HD DC27 batteries on constant charge with a small 1000 mil.amps maintenance unit while in storage. The batteries are 4 years old and both have good storage at 13.2 volts. The exploded battery still holds the charge as well. Never happened to me before however there is n...

A motorcycle cop was rushed to the hospital with an inflamed appendix. The doctors operated and advised him that all was well. However, the cop kept feeling something pulling at the hairs in his crotch. Worried that it might be a second surgery the doctors hadn't told him about, he finally got enoug...

Best beloved and I want to purchase a cassette style porta-potty for our older, non-ensuited 17' poptop caravan.

Today we were graced with the arrival of Pricey43 - Ted and Robyn - come to spend some time with us all at Greens Lake - welcome guys!!!

Does anyone know how to gain access to the electric hot plate of a dometic stove. I don't seem to be able to find any instructions to carry out that function. Ours has a fault of some sort as it trips the circuit breaker in the van when it's turned on. there will be no hassles in getting the job done if I can ga...

This is an HDR (high dynamic range) image of a miners cottage near Moonta SA. The final pic is comprised of 6 shots taken at 1/2 stop intervals in an attempt to capture all of the colour light/shadow, I'm reasonably happy with this one, howev...

Hi all, currently (and hopefully, briefly) in Brisbane, and read an article in today's Courier Mail, asking Grey Nomads to visit farmers in drought in western Qld to just drop in and say Hi! We are being recruited to help drought stricken farmers overcome mental health issues borne by their struggl...

I noticed a story in the GN mag about peak holiday seasons and crowded camp sites and caravan parks. So how do full-time travellers solve that little problem? Where do you hide from the families and schoolies during peak times as well as the exorbitant fees?

Can anyone tell me whether they are going to print Camps8 next year?.I have camps 6 and I am thinking about Camps7.If they are going to print 8 I will hold off until then. Thankyou.

Yes, the "how long is a piece of string question" ..... I have recently bought a Toyota Hiace commuter van. The 2nd battery is stuffed and I need to replace it. I suspect my future ongoing power requirements are high ... I use a cpap machine, the current draw @ 12V is between 1.8 and 3.4 Amps per...

How solid is the ground at Greens lake with all the Rain, I was thinking of coming up there, But I dont want to get it Bogged, Its one heavy Beast,

Made it to Melbourne OK. The new motor performed well, much better than the old one, with heaps more torque low down than the old one. Called into see the gang at Greens, only intending to spend the night. John exclaimed he had not had his pav, so stayed a 2nd night. Really enjoyed being with everybody a...

Hi all, we were within a couple of day away from getting a new 5th wheeler but have been thrown a curve ball. We have been told that because the door & awning is on the right hand side of the rv it is illegal in Aus., & that also a lot of Van parks will not allow these configurations in their parks. I s...

I saw in the local rag that the local council has approved improvements to the woolwash and plan to install facilities for grey nomads. The rational is that nomads spend and they want to encourage that. So anyone comming north the area is open but basic at the moment and improvements are in the offing Al...
