we have a 2009 stirling outback with a solar panel. In the cupboard above the rangehood there is battery switch with a fuse. Above the switch is marked 240v with 12v written under the switch. The Jayco manual does not explain. The lights and water pump work regardless of the position of the switch - eve...

After searching forever and with lots of helpful advice from fellow members I have just purchased my first van It's a toyota Liteace. Automatic and has a good body. It only cost me $2000 and probably needs a bit of work but I'm over the moon! I'm happy to spend a bit of money to get it to where I want. Are ther...

Gday... I was thinking today, an experience I do try to avoid as much as I can, and it came upon me that perhaps I should posture a position, as devils advocate, regarding the lack of free-camps provided by various towns throughout our wonderful playground. It is usual for we travellers to consult our b...

Yes! It has arrived. I actually retired last Friday after 35 years with Melbourne Ambulance. No applause please, thank goodness it's over.

I think I have worked out why so many Solos are saying they never meet up with anyone along the road. I have noticed a lot of Solos only ever post in the Solo Grey Nomads section. They never post in General Forum for instance. If they did there would be triple the amount of people knowing aboout them and thei...

Left Dululu and headed to Rockhampton via Mount Morgan and then followed Shebas instructions to get to her place. I must admit that she gave clear instructions but in some cases I was wondering if I was on the right track but continuing on found the next marker. We had a good day talking about the forum an...

Hi everybody, I hope I am not starting something that has been well tested over the years. I have used an Engel for the past 15 years, and it finally wouldn't do much under 3/4 degrees, so after a bit of a look around I picked up a 60l Primus. I am quite impressed with build quality, stainless steel but a...
