JC's Caravan Repairs, in Elder Street, Alice Springs - great service - our water pump in the MH died over a weekend - Monday morning rang this place, took it around, new updated pump fitted, and on our way within an hour!!! Can't ask for better than that.

I have arrived in Barmera this afternoon. What a wonderful drive up from Adelaide via Waikerie. The River Murray is certainly majestic and as I have never been up this way before I have been playing tourist a little. So much to see and do I think that one could spend some time around this area with heaps of...

G'day everyone. Although not our first van, the '93 Jayco Starcraft is by far the newest. (The first two were a '60s Modern and a '79 Newlands.) Geraldine (wife) has spent a lot of time re-upholstering the interior, new curtains, and I have done a few updates & extras like 2nd LPG bottle, jerry can h...

Husband took the wife to a disco on the weekend. There was a guy on the dance floor living it large - breakdancing, moonwalking, back flips, the works. The wife turned to husband and said: "See that guy? 25 years ago he proposed to me and I turned him down." Husband says: "Looks like he's...
