Back in January we posted piccys of our newly purchased older van a Viscount Aerolight, our debut to the Grey Nomad world. As explained we learned the "Buyer Beware" saying first hand. We needed to repair the chassis, leaking front window and the roof. We have had 7 short trips away in it hav...

We are considering selling the caravan (using 2 portable solar panels ) and possibly buying a smaller campervan eg Hi-Ace. Can you put solar panels on a pop-top like that, would it make it too heavy to push the top up?

Left Campaspe River early around 7am there was 160kms to Hughenden and an early start gave me at least an hour before the day warmed up. So at my speed of around 80kph allows two hours driving to get to Hughenden. I had wanted to visit Porcupine Gorge but Camps6 #295 Pyramid Campsite indicates 30kms of di...

During a morning visit from a local friend of 30+ years, a CMCA motor home member & a high ranking SES member, I was informed of the following which is hard to believe. This info was supplied by the CMCA to its members. This will mainly concern motor home owners. As many motorhomes are built on a smal...

Here's something that failed to impress our grandkids - even the kids on the block were 'ho-hum'. Not even a hint that they may be interested. All grey nomads will remember them once they see them....freshly hatched too and I bet you enjoyed them when you were a kid.

Fee is $15 a nite with power,water and clean amenities and you can eat in there mess for a fixed price of $15 all you can eat. The food is excellent.

The problem arises when, iether car pulls over onto the gravel, instead of slowing right down, or stopping, while the vehicle on the bitumen ge...

I will then be just waiting on the bat phone to ring to head over to Batemans Bay, Sth Coast NSW, for the house sit. Sunshine aga...

We bought a satellite dish for when we are in the country and can't get normal reception. We bought it on the internet as it was advertised as being for use when you are away from home. We assumed that it would work when we were away from home! Which when you consider life in a rv and on the road is usually a...

Hi all I have just seen the new Aldi catalogue and they have a UHF CB radio for $99.99 on sale Saturday 24th August. Has anyone seen them before or have one, curious if they are any good???

For a start, you would probably have to be like me, three score and ten, to remember "Magic Flutes" When I was just a "pup" my grand father gave me one. It was all metal. It fitted over the nose, and flush with the open mouth. By exhaling through the nose, I could imitate almost any bi...

Wednesday morning and I left Archer Creek driving to Mt. Garnett where I did get internet in 2012 and expected to do so again. Success and I was able to catch up with the blog and forum. After I drove to the Undara Lava Tubes and booked into a powered site and went on a conducted tour $70 all up. So now I am powe...
