Our van has a rubberised membrane on the roof (see avatar) which is becoming 'chalky' and mildew/algae is starting to appear on it. I have done some research and it needs to scrubbed with a soft brush and soapy water. Also, there is a rubberised paint which can be used to recoat it. My question is - can I us...

Does anyone out there have one of these or know someone who does? As I was complaining about being so hot over in SA last month a friend sent me this link. It looks as though it could work while free camping. I'm really not good in the heat. Tess

I was wondering if anyone is going west from late July early August? I will be travelling with a friend,we will be taking 4/5 days to cross the nullabor ( we have no time limit other than having to be back by the end of September. Any advise tips would be welcome.

How do we accumulate so much stuff that we never use, never look at, we pack them up in boxes over the years just in case we might need it or because we call it our memorabilia and just couldn't get rid of that..........well I am over it all, just crazy ........in the middle of packing our essential living s...

I have just been away and tried the new mozzie patches. Not 100% convinced they work. We had heaps of mozzies to try them out on! I stuck one onto the bottom of my pants and stood near my husband. He was getting mozzies on his legs but I wasn't. But as for the 2 metre coverage? They were still biting me on my ar...

looking for advice about free/low cost caravan camping around Maryborough Vic - already know of Paddy's flat.

I was sent an email today (which I think has been going around since 2009) about telemarketers going to have access to my mobile and it will cost me if I answer. This is a scam. The email is a viral email. To verify this you can check out this link https://www.donotcall.gov.au/alerts.cfm The link given i...

On our recent trip away, we found out fairly quickly that overseas visitors hiring campervans are also being issued with a Camps 6 book. It has been fascinating to meet so many of them in the free/budget camps. Our last visit to Richmond saw washing strung out between the rails of some steps! Ingenious...

Had our van serviced by Jayco in Bairnsdale (East Gippsland Vic) and asked them to check ball weight. 290kg Mmmmmmmm too much for the Navara tow bar rated to 250kg's. So did some culling and re-arranging and called in there today on our travels and got it weighed again :) 200kg's - no charge and very obl...

Everyone knows that Easter Monday falls on a different date each year but who actually knows how the date is determined? There is a very complex method to work it out but there is a simple way. As with most things in our Wonderful World it is decided by consulting the Sun & the Moon. Easter Monday is th...

The man hurriedly dressed and told his lover to take his shoes outside and rub them in the grass and dirt. He put on his shoes and dr...

Should for instance, the caravan manufacturing industry in Australia get a big handout, so they can afford to do more research into design and modernise. How much is keeping people employed in inefficient indust...
