Hi all :) Great to be a part of this awesome group. Many thanks. Yep Ive got one of these awesome wee heaters. The issue I have is that after being unhooked for about 6 months, I hooked it back up onto the same battery that ran it last time and it keeps telling me fault code 2 which says over voltage. Dam thing....

Hi everyone, I am new to this forumso if I am posting this in the wrong place sorry. I am also new to 4WD's and stuff that goes with them so any info would be greatly appreciated. My question is I am tossing up between buying a in vehicle mounted UHF radio (GME 5W XRS-330C) unit or to buy the twin pack (GME 5W TX...

Many mobile phones nowadays do not provide a "Notification" LED, this omission drives me nuts! The notification LED flashes every 10 seconds or so as an indicator of a missed call or SMS, however because most people under 50 seem to always have their noses in their phones many manufacturers decided t...

Gooday, Gooday, Just thought I would share a bad experience with fellow Members we have just concluded . During the last week of September we got Scammed. We had a substantial amount of Money that became due for renewal in a Term Deposit with a well known Finance Company/Institution. I say tha...

I rediscovered this forum a couple of minutes ago after having changed my laptop quite a while ago and am pleased to see it`s still functioning ok. We moved out of Sydney some years ago and while still having a van have not been travelling that much due to age, musical interests and living in a wonderful...

Not to discuss any particular chains, but I'm just curious about the benefits of membership. Do many users of these parks actually take out membership? Do you find it beneficial. On a recent trip I joined a few, that we planned to stay in (just overnight stays at this stage). Kui, Discovery, Big4. The...

We have had the van for a while but due to having to have 12 month cancer treatment have only managed a few weeks away. We do not use the 2 tanks for DRINKING and thought it best to give the tanks a flush out. There is a on / off lever on each tank that requires turning on as well as a main tap to turn on which w...

Yesterday as I was strolling around the bush in the vicinity of my campsite in this forest in central Victoria I happen upon a feather which appears to have been recently discarded by a sulphur crested ****atoo; we've all seen feathers I have no doubt but yesterday as I picked this one off the ground I re...

Partner: How old are you, Clint? Clint: I turn 91 on Monday. Partner: What are you going to do? Clint: I am going to start a new movie. Partner: What keeps you going? Clint: I get up every day and dont let the old man in. -Clint Eastwood

I thought that a thread like this might be entertaining, here are a few of my school days memories. I went to Glen Waverley Heights Primary School on the corner of Springvale & High Street Rds. On a very hot Summers day during our lunchtime, the night man's truck had an accident which caused it to rol...

Hi Everyone, I had accidentally posted in the welcome forum, put it down to rookie error on this website. We have been looking at putting in a wifi connection in our van and have several options. There is RVwifi and Sphere wifi (Sphere also do the sat dishes) we have a just got a smart tv 22inch and would al...

Very handy if you forget to put out in time. This one is a repurposed heat sink, (part of) from a Grundfos Pump Panel. So may be heavier than store bought, but works well for us. Takes at least an hour off defrost time on chops or chicken or steak. Dont know about tofu.

It is a good idea to "power cycle" (ie. turn off, wait two minutes, turn on) your mobile phone, tablet, notebook computer etc every so often, I usually do mine about once a month. All these computer type items *will* have bugs in their software and these bugs may, over time, lead to issues arising which m...

The final two weeks of our six week trip was spent camping in Wychitella Nature Conservation Reserve Skinner's Flat Section near Wedderburn. The habit consists mainly of a mixture of Box-Ironbark forest & Mallee. The wildflowers were prolific including many native orchid species. The nearb...
