First trip in this van & I forgot the tripod. Not much fun trying to prop up the dish on a post & rail fence & make it work. This first trip was a shakedown to discover what we forgot to pack. The first thing (no second actually) missing was notebook & pen!

As we are leaving on a cruise next Sat. from Sydney too much still needs to be done to allow us to go & play nomads this week. The hoohaw after our accident &am...

New Version of the Three Bears Story . A far more accurate account of the events of that fateful morning.... Baby bear goes downstairs, sits in his small chair at the table. He looks into his small bowl. It is empty. 'Who's been eating my porridge?' he squeaks. Daddy Bear arrives at the big table and sit...

We have been told we can get a sate...

Looking to purchase a small petrol generator for my recently acquired RV. Would a 800 to 1000 w generator be sufficient to run my battery charger and a few small non heating appliances???? Regards Allan W.

A friend sent this link to a video on Youtube showing footage from various dash cams fitted to Russian cars. Hold on to your seat!

We're planning on getting a Mazda BT 50 tug but after watching a telemarketing program on the tube about the latest Garmin GPS/SatNav system. I checked out the system supplied with the BT 50 and was very disappointed. The maps appear to be about 3 years old, they use whereis, no updates are currently av...
