Hi, Has anyone had any experience with SF3239 Satellite Finder? This one is currently available on eBay, and VanSat also sell one - SF4000. They look the same. it says that it is per-programmed for the Optus satellite, which would be handy. Any feedback appreciated. Alan

We all know that the height of a towball should be xyz. But in my opinion that is all wrong. The height should be at about knee level, not shin level as you will find out if you bump your shin on one. The knee won't hurt as much, try it sometime. Happy new year have fun Haji-Baba

Hello Everyone, Merry Christmas. Our caravan has been sitting for a few months and when we start off the brakes are very noisey. I was told it may be surface rust. If so, are the brakes ok?

Hi All someone told me artifical turf was great to use as an awning mat. Their dogs love it and it is also very effective in keeping dirt etc out of the van. It's cheapest on ebay and comes in either a 2m wide roll cut to suit, or 1m squares. The thicker pile is better. The weight is approximately .75kg per met...

Just arrived at Stansbury our favourite place on earth. We all have our favourite place but Stansbury is ours and all I can suggest is visit it at least once in your lifetime and if you get the bug you won't regret it. It was responsible for Pat and I to enter this game of park management and although we are s...

As this topic was under another subject heading, I thought it was important enough to have it's own heading. I have copied two of the posts I made on the other thread to here to avoid confusion and hijacking etc; I think the original Eureka Flag may have been adopted from the Murray River Flags of which...

This great park is run by very congenial hosts Geoff and Andy. It's roomy, shady, clean, and oh, so friendly. You can wallow in the pool or the big pond (lake) down below the park. Tell 'em I sent you, and I promised them I'd be promoting the park on the GN site. These guys formerly managed the Big Rig Park a...
