G'day all, We recently acquired two 80watt portable panels to feed a 120A/H AGM battery. A couple of weeks ago we returned from a trip where we spent 10 days free camping in order to really see how long we could be without mains power. Three of those days were without TV, (no service available) but we did v...

I would like to know, if there are any GN's out there that have one of these toilets, and are happy with it. We have spoken to so many travellers, who have one, and are not happy, and can't even get satisfaction from Dometic. My husband is seeking out new or second-hand parts, mainly for the docking sta...

Hello everyone and thanx for taking interest. I've noticed that in ads 'for sale' for the same vehicle eg. Hino Rainbow, that some state 'only car licence needed' and others need a heavy vehicle license. How can the same make and model of converted bus have a GVM difference of over a ton? Has anyone el...

Kosciuszko NP is a nice park , to see all the sites you would have to live forever. But we have seen only a tiny bit and most of it was under ground. Yes the Yarrangobilly Caves is a must see. The staff at the caves were absolutely faultless, I could have spent days up there exploring the area. The Tumut CP w...
