Anyone use one of these, assume they run on gas. Would this be rinse off, soap up / shower milk up, then rinse off. I was reading of it in Lionel Mussel's Blog, he wrote of it but in passing only. Quite curious.

I was going to put this on "I digress" but as internet communication is a big part of the RV lifestyle decided it was relevant here. I recently got an email from Telstra saying they are updating their security system (as a result of their recent website crash I'm betting).Telstra Internet S...

We did a house sit in Katherine for 5 weeks and found the Sports Club in Giles Street (on the Gorge Road) the best in town. Very good restaurant meals at club prices, modern and good variety. The Golf Club also has a fairly basic meal which were large and well priced, the steaks were very tender. These are a...

Does anyone have a rear view camera that gives good depth of field, we currently have a reversing camera but unless a vehicle is really close it can't be seen on the screen.

My Husband & I will be touring with our caravan to Tasmania from 2nd Feb to 29th March starting in Devonport and returning to Devonport, any suggestion of the best route so we can see as much as possible.

Had a chance to have a look around with a mixed bag of good and not so. in the main, ok but is looking a bit on the tired side but I think as some mentioned the other day it's a un employment issue that goes with mining towns. Still worth the stop and we are one doing a...
