A few old couples used to get together to talk about life and to have a good time. One day one of the men, Harry, started talking about this fantastic restaurant he went to the other night with his wife. Really?, one of the men said, whats it called? After thinking for a few seconds the Harry said, what are t...

I just put a bid in for 10 nights in a CV park at Batemans Bay. If I am lucky I thought I might duck across after my stay at Tocumwall shortly, then do a day trip to Kiama and another to Canberra, two places I have been trying to get to for some time. It has been many moons since I was in those areas.

What do other small van owners use to solve their power problems. We have 15 foot poptop- and so space is a bit of a premium. Are considering getting some solar panels, but would a generator be the go? Has to be one or the other as there's no space for both. The only thing we would be powering would be microwa...

Got into Longreach this afternoon. It's got a nice feel to it and we dropped into catch up with Spida at the Stockmans hall of fame. Had a lovely talk and time with her, she is one nice lady. We are at the Longreach waterhole with about 30 other travelers. It's a bit dry and dusty but, what the heck it will do f...

Going to pick up our new home next Thursday, very excited, hubby has seen it, but I haven't yet. The lovely owners are driving it from NSW to Ceduna, so we only have to drive from Kalgoorlie to pick it up.

We would like to start looking a round for something a bit larger than our Jayco Starcraft. Something with a shower /toilet and a single double bed. The prices seem to have really gone through the roof since our last purchase. Any good advice will be great.

Plenty of camping spaces at that time of...

And more importantly, how is he gonna try? AS FAR AS NEW Years resolutions go, I have a drastic one: I want to set up a vehicle-plus-caravan rig from...

At Karratha WA Visitor Information Centre - think it is $1 for 50 litres, pump cuts out. Fair enough specially after seeing the guy with 5 x 100 litre water tanks onboard!!

over time our van toilet has an acumalation of debris in the holding tank (I feel it has been cause by filling with creek water). No real problem apart from the odd black spec in the bowl qwhen flushing. I have been adding the toilet chemical to the holding tank with the hope that it will help clean it out bu...
