Hi everyone, in preparing the Avan cruiseliner I found that at least one bearing appears to be leaking.(classic spray pattern spreading from hub) To avoid trouble I have contacted Avan to obtain the wheel bearing that they use and for your information the part used is known as: Ford slimline wheel...

This gravity powered light was designed to provide a cheap power source for Third World nations. I assume it could also have camping and caravan applications. Interesting in either case http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7aCvf2MQmM

Just got internet back last night along with power. Our place ok but next street wiped out. Very few injuries thank goodness. The caravan park on the Northern end of town was hit bad. Ian

Hi all......I'm new to the site so please bear with me a moment. My partner and I have a 2008 Jayco Sterling poptop. Unfortunately it has to be parked in the driveway without cover, and taking the brunt of the West Australian sun. We have had it covered during winter, but for the last few months the cover h...

Grey Nomads are being slung $53.30 for a one night powered sight at the Prom. This is the same charge weather you have one person or eight on the site, surely this is an over the top charge ?

We have a rough day on the coast yesterday and remained indoors most of the day whilst the rain tumbled and the wind howled past. Our poor next door neighbour who has just returned from Bargara last week found his caravan 6 mts from where he had unhooked it....Thank heavens for insurance

After a heap of family drama I am finally on my way again. Currently at Streaky Bay SA on my way west. Should be free camping from here on. Any tips on good camp sites across the Nulabor would be appreciated. Fowlers Bay is already on my list. Anyone else around this way?

Trying to get our heads around solar power and not really understanding the tech speak. I guess we would need something to run t.v. 8 led lights, laptops x2, phones x2, can't think of anything else that might need electricity, so maybe use 4 hours a day? Any thoughts would be very welcome. We would pre...

I hope every one has a safe Australia Day and please keep safe from these floods in q'ld and fires in victoria !!! What are you going to do or what have you done to celebrate Cheers Shirley

I think Milo must have taken off for destinations far away and forgot to land. I haven't seen him around for a few days. Maybe he's added a rocket to his fleet and is lost in space.
