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...

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?

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.
