The passing of the Queen is a sad day. What will this bring, a republic, King Charles, King William? RIP Queen Elizabeth.

We survived the Arkaroola Rd and Oodnadatta track, not unscathed but better than some. We found it almost pointless asking others how the road ahead is. Some versions of 'ok' means very rough. Some versions of terrible mean quite smooth. What you need is plenty of fuel and plenty of time, because your...

Hi, Cheap alternative to removing complete door or infill to replace total unit when the middle pull out bit that covers centre hose inlet inevetiablly snaps off because its just a plastic hinge. These can be snapped in as a quick repair (or leave until you sell van so you only have to replace total uni...

We're currently camped by ourselves in granite country Loddon Shire Central Victoria. The bush is full of Spring wildflowers. We'll be here for two weeks, after a wonderful two weeks camped in ironbark country near Rushworth. We feasted on yabbies from the forest dams, even making yabby pizzas in...

Are there any cheap free campsite in or close to Esperance has to be dog friendly Also a list of places between Esperence to say coral bay TIA

From time-to-time most of us who rely upon solar panels and batteries for our energy will experience occasions when the sun doesn't shine for a few days and the batteries are depleting rapidly. If, like me, you also carry a generator you have an option to put some additional charge into the batteries f...

Hello everyone, My use for DC power in our caravan is quite low - a couple of LED lights, the TV & very occasionally the pump. I have recently added another 55w solar panel, in theory giving me 110w. Having had the gas struts regassed has certainly assisted in lifting the roof - one reason why I kept th...

Just placed advert in "For sale" section, looking for house sitter in Coolgardie, WA, for around 8 months.. Cheers

Could someone tell me how to work out the energy use running continuously. Fridge is not working well and compressor not shutting off, Freezer is working fine. Lithium batteries (4x70 ah) go from 14.1 to 13.2 in about 2 hours after dark , turn fridge off and they hold at 13.2. I suspect the fridge thermo...

Something for everyone, go thru slowly and read.

Windows from Bill is on the outer. I have recently loaded Linux Mint on to a new partition of my hard drive, I'm slowly getting used of the differences of the new operating system. Are there other who have made the conversion to Linux.

I'm currently camped at around latitude 34d south and decided, it being 2nd May, to change the angle of my solar panels to their winter setting; or from about 45d to 60d. Doing so has increased panel output by about 11% as determined from an 11am test. When I made the legs for these 4 x 200W panels I calcula...

Boss and I are currently near the end of a lovely road trip, thought I might add some observations. If youre a grey nomad(GN) keep your thoughts and opinions to your self unless asked. Im over GNs who think they own the caravan park because they have been going to the same spot from year dot. Im over GNs who...

My tow vehicle is an Isuzu MUX and I am thinking of changing my tyres to All Terrain (A/T) but am unsure if the spare tyre under body housing will accommodate an A/T tyre profile. Has anyone done this and can advise the outcome.

Hi, Does any one know the bolt torque setting in NM for tow bar with M12 coarse threaded Zinc plated grade 10.9 bolts ??

Who said it was hard to solve my electrical problem!

Large undercover patio area that has a bathroom, separate toilet and a laundry...

Does anyone know who is supplying parts for Sunliner now? I have tried to contact Kevin Moore of MooreProducts to no avail. Last time I spoke to him he was, like most business doing it extremely tough. That was in Dec 21.
