Don't seem to have raised any interest on the techno page so I'm posting this on here to see if things change. Has anyone ever see any articles of fuel cells being powered by LPG to allow batteries to be float charged. I realise if it takes a converter to get the AC to run a smart charger may be a little ineff...

Bio Magic is widely used as the chemical of choice in toilet cartridges. The last 5 liter container I purchased was $87.00. I met a fellow traveller recently at Bendigo Showgrounds who told me about his alternative. From Woolworths, buy Select (Woolworths Brand) Oxygenated Soaker & Stain Remo...

I have done a search but can't find any topics on the "Little Devil" omni directional antenna made in Tasmania. It is capable of a range of frequencies including 3G. Is anyone familiar with these and their capabilities? Information on any other antenna that users find suitable for mob...

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...

Living in a small town in the Hunter Valley,can be frustrating at times,especially when getting gas bottles refilled. Up until last week we always got ours filled at the local Hardware Store,as the closer larger towns like Maitland,Cessnock,and Singleton,are about 25 Minutes drive away,not rea...

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...
