Well here I am in Adelaide, well actually out at Salisbury or there abouts at present. I have spent 2 days at West Beach at the Big 4 caravan park, which was a delight. It was very busy given that it was the long weekend and the middle of school holidays. Nice park though and good solid flat sites. The facili...

Watching a caravan and motorhome DVD and there was an add about battery chargers and it got me thinking. Our van Will be ready next month and it seems no matter how much research I do, it feels like I'm still clueless! We know nothing about battery chargers and batteries in general. There is soooooo muc...

In May this year there was a posting on Senior Drivers having to take a medical after age 75. I just stumbled across this information by accident as I was looking something up on the Services Tasmania website: Note the requirement for drivers over 85 and over !!!

Passing the Seafront Caravan Park, there are lots of caravans coming and going. Any Grey Nomads there (or the other Caravan Parks in town) at the moment? We are here for a while and would love to catch up! PM us.

We have a Toyota Coaster with 2 x Solar Panels on the roof, They are connected to a Solarex sc-18 charger then on to the batteries. Batteries are 2 x 75 amp/h deep cycle.

Another guy had arriv...

We are soon to set off and rent out our house. We decided to store most of our furniture in our large shed on our residential site. When I contacted our insurance provider to cover landlord insurance and get contents insurance on our furniture, only to be told that they would not cover this. Question, do...

Today is rated as an Extreme Fire Danger Day May I suggest that if you are enjoying a beautiful free camp today in NSW you seriously look at moving to a Caravan Park with plenty of open ground and well clear of the bush, there are currently 16 sixteen fires burning in NSW and if you are near any of these you ne...

Changed my plans to make a glide-on for the back of my Rodeo. Son who was helping me has a new job and limited hours to help, plus the expense/trouble simply isn't worth it at my age. I want to start travelling next year So my intention now is to buy a caravan around the 14ft mark. Better on my poor old knees to...

These words of wisdom popped into my inbox and I think they are gems. I'm sure many on this forum will relate to this "back nine" journey. You know ... time has a way of moving quickly and catching you unaware of the passing years. It seems just yesterday that I was young, just married and em...

Hi, I have just fitted my new CTEK, and wonder what I can realistically expect to see on my volt meter. I am running 2 off 85AH hybrid Exide Extreme N70EXL batteries, and have connected my CTEK (alternator terminal) to my starting battery. and the CTEK (battery terminal) to the aux battery. I am not sur...
