Just had the bushes replaced on the Jayco 24 ft, why you ask? Preventitive maintainence says I. I got a quote from my local dealer, 10-12 hours @ $77 per hour plus parts Last year whilst in Walkamin FNQ a young gent fitted my own wheel bearings for me, complete with seals etc for $90. Today he came to us in C...

On my landcruiser I have split rims. When I recently put new tyres on I was advised that if I was caravanning that I would be better to change to solid rims. The advice was that it wood give me a lot better ride. As I am not mechanically minded I thought that maybe some fellow Grey Nomads may be able to shine s...

hi' every one I've been keeping up to date on this site and have drawn many very usefull advice from u all -- All beeing well I pick up my campervan this week and after some checks will be heading out on the shake down (long week end) before going up the east coast to Eden and ACT then back for the second week...

If you are in the far north, and planning to travel down the west coast, there is a lot to see in the south west. However, the point I am making is, that many travellers get the impression that the Nullabour plain is a long and boring drive. No way. The tourist office in Norseman stock a wonderful book calle...

The next on my list of 'ask the GN's' is for the Ballarat region. This is for our trip in Oct/Nov.... As far as I can see in Camps 6, there's no camps near to Ballarat, unless someone out there knows of one not listed... So, I'd appreciate opinions on these CP's please. Shady Acres CP, Big 4 Goldfields, Bi...

What a great group and how happy am I, should have done it years ago!!!!! Hope to meet a lot more of you on the road, Travel-Lyn ...

Go the Pies

Stayed at this park for 3 days of the past weekend. Even though we had read bad reports on other forums a lack of choice in Longreach left us no other options. Got to say it was THE best decision we've made to date. It has recently changed to a Top Tourist park and has new owners who have taken over in the last 2...

I have to congratulate all nomads, no matter what they drive, for using their radios, their mirrors and their senses. I'm escorting a wide load, only 4.3 metres, but wide none the less. We started at Broken Hill last Sunday, negotiating several road blocks and detours with a wide load. We travelled o...

I find it interesting... this afternoon I checked to see who was online. There were 7 'members' on line (most of whom I had never heard of) - and tonight as I look, none of them contributed. So I was pleased to see who was online tonight...the ones who 'talk'. It's made my day.

I would like to get peoples opinon on mirrors, we pick up our new Mits Triton diesel, 4x4 on the 14 July and have been out shopping for mirrors. I am interested in the heavy duty ones that strap on to the bottom of the door and tension. I went to Carac in dandenong, Melb - good people - but was informed that the...

Confessions of a hooker A couple were lying in bed together on the morning of their tenth wedding anniversarywhen the wife says, 'Darling, as this is such a special occasion, I think that it is time I made a confession: Before we were married I was a hooker for eight years.' The husband ponders for a...

Had a feeling that Dougwe or Dazren would have commented on a wombat who booby trapped his home so he could be visited by a large horse. Was that our Wombat?

Can anyone remember the name of a motorhome repairer in Bundaberg who highly recommended on this forum by quite a few nomads a while ago. I have been through Recommendations and Techies Corner to no avail. I have tried the search button to no avail. I'm thinking these words weren't put in the heading. Q...

Our car indicators work when connected to the caravan but as soon as the car starts, the indicators stop working. We've even tried a new plug. Can anyone possibly help? Our car is a 2010 XTrail and the van is a Jayco Freedom.

Sis, bil and I are heading to Vic in Oct and have a list of places we want to see, and rellies to catch up with. Two cousins we particularly want to see, one is in Ferntree Gully, and another in a care facility at Pakenham. We also want to see the Yarra Valley and Dandenong areas. We know nothing about thes...
