There have been a few family's issues that we don't want to go into as yet but we will now be on the road for Xmas and new year. We don't really want to spend the time on our own, I know a few will be at greens but it looks like we will be somewhere to the west of Adelaide. Will anyone else be in the area or have any su...

In a crowded city at a busy bus stop, a woman who was waiting for a bus was wearing a tight leather skirt. As the bus stopped and it was her turn to get on, she became aware that her skirt was too tight to allow her leg to come up to the height of the first step of the bus.Slightly embarrassed and with a quick smi...

I only saw a fleeting glimpse of the story re a wanted fugitive that has been taken into custody, however was it the Greens turnoff sign shown as his whereabouts? Can anyone add detail to this news item. Hoo Roo.

Marshall Batteries, Hoskin Street, Shepparton, Vic. Went out of the way to assist us, loaned us a battery to keep us going, while waiting for the delivery of the one they ordered for us. Great service!

I used to add the regular old fashion green coolant to the radiator and had over heating problems, had the radiator serviced and cleaned, new thermostat etc. but when sitting idle in traffic it would still rise near boiling point. I also have two electric thermo cooling fans which do help a lot. I foun...

Great job and very reasonable repair cost. 30 ft motor home. We had broken manifold and exhaust stud bolts, loud exhaust hanging loose, and a badly leaking power steering pump. We expected a bill of at least around $2,500. as all the studs were drilled out,and the pump reconditioned. Total cost only $...

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...
