We are in W.A and our son has a viscount regent ultra lite pop top van. Sadly thru winter some moisture got into top of van. Anyone know of someone who may have a trashed body but reasonable top that we could replace....or where we could go to have repaired. thanks

Hi Nomads! We are looking for a tow vehicle for our 2014 Jayco Sterling OB (being manufactured in March 2014) 24.75-2. We were considering the Nissan Navara V6 diesel but wondering about the weight of the van. A dealer in Coffs Harbour has suggested the Jeep Grand Cherokee V6 diesel. It has 3500Kg tow...

I've been having my vehicles looked after by Marty (proprietor) at Bundaberg LPG ever since moving to the area. I've found him honest, good at his job and reasonably priced. He does what's needed at the time, gives advance notice of what may be needed in the near future, and never does anything unnec...

The 1.5 million dollar over taking lane on the Bruce H/Way at Ambrose between Rockhampton and Gladstone QLD ,was only open less than 24hrs and had to be closed due to the pot holes and crumbling. Makes one wonder of the quality of the road base used before it was sealed. This work in this section was start...

Here is a list of CRC Centres for WA, may be a small fee for some but free internet and email for Seniors and Pensioners, see; http://www.crc.net.au/community-resource-centres Some are combined with Post Offices or have Centrelink agencies in towns etc. Worth printing off. (Sent from CRC at Be...

I've lived in many places in my time but outside of where I was born and raised, there was only one that really felt like home. So I'm wondering if any GNs who've been on the road for a few years ever get to feel that way about their rig - that "no place like home" feeling.

I'll never forget how happy I was when I saw the missis walking down the aisle towards me. My heart was beating fast and the excitement was unbearable. It seemed to take an absolute age but eventually there she was - stood beside me. ...

We have a Holden Colorado 3litre diesel and my husband is considering installing a "Chip my Diesel" performance chip. Has anyone done this and is it a good or bad idea. Thanks

The next door neighbour has just painted his roof with heat reflective paint and said that the inside temp went down 3 or 4 C. He gave me some so I am painting the slide on with it. Has anybody else painted their van with this type of paint? I look forward to your views. Bill

The weather forecast changed 10 times in 4 days last week. A bit frustrating when a big birthday bash was planned for my husband. But it all happened (rained the night before) and apart from some grabbing jackets to keep warm, the afternoon - or 'late lunch' as I had called it - went fantastically. He had...

We have just spent the weekend at THornton Camp Grounds in South East Queensland. West of Brisbane,past Ipswich, through Laidley & then onto the Mulgowie Rd. The Mulgowie pub is a great spot with plenty of character. We stopped at the Mulgowie Farmers Market. Lots of local produce. First Saturd...

Yep after a battle getting through gale force winds, heavy rain and car park like traffic in Melbourne City the Tug and Avan have made it home. I arrived at Greens Lake to join in all the fun and games. The welcoming committee was out in force too when I arrive I might add. I'd like to think it was to welcome m...

It rained for most of yesterday, here at Greens Lake, and the day has started with rain again today!!! Very sad - but hopefully it will disappear by the end of the day. Still quite a few camped up here, so don't stay away because of a bit of rain - as the farmers say - we love it!!!!!!

Wondering if anybody has recently travelled the Turpentine Rd, between Nowra and Braidwood, if its OK would save a big drag up the Clyde. I understand it has been upgraded, but is it suitable for a caravan as well. Any advice would be appreciated.

On the way through to Greens Lake, Central Vic. yesterday. It was great to catch up with them again after many months. Don't work too hard Brandt and Lorraine, I hope your boss didn't sack you for the extended morning smoko Brandt? Enjoy your family and friends when you cross the ditch. I hope we get to ca...
