We have the vents open a bit and still find it a big problem. The van came with airco but it appears useless on the heat sec...

Bummer. I got the fridge fixed but he gave me a gas non compliance certificate because there wasn't a 40mm internal hole in the floor behind the fridge as the bottom vent was 25mm above floor level. Something about possible gas leaks could be a problem. He ticked the box saying not a risk and another say...

The following are results from an OZ-words Competition where entrants were asked to take an Australian word, alter it by one letter only, and supply a witty definition. Clearly, you need to be an Aussie to understand. Billabonk: to make passionate love beside a waterhole Bludgie: a par...

This homemade van and 1930 Ford turned up at Goldwire WA yesterday. On the big loop from Bunbury. Can travel at top speed of 70km ph. All tyres etc have to come in from the States.

All packed and ready to go. First looong run with caravan. Have done shorter runs but this one is going from Aldinga Beach S.A to Qld Gold coast then if time will come back via Sydney to home by Aug 4th. A round trip of about 4500km.

It's the speed we are comfortable with. We have an 80 series LandcruIser and an 18 ft Viscount (old model). While travelling from GoondawI...
