have just read a previous thread on this topic and am thoroughly confused. when we bought our tent the salesperson told us just get a powerboard and plug it in and that's it. it would seem that this isn't correct(shock horror a salesperson not giving correct info?) so googled the suggested device and w...

Due to health reasons our van and tug are on the market. We have got a small unit in Barmera S.A. We had a friend looking after some stuff for us in Cairns and now need to get it to Barmera. I was going to hire a trailer or a one way trailer from SA to Cairns. After working out fuel costs etc we decided to get a quo...

As we happened to be passing a Paramount caravan yard yesterday on our way home we stopped to have a look, more couriosity than anything else as we had not looked at them before. Many of their new van have damage to the alloy cladding , about 75mm in from the corners each sheet of cladding had kinks, [ thats...

Having just purchased a new tv for the van have been impressed with picture quality....but oh my the sound is hollow & tinney, question is how do I enhance the sound quality without replacing the whole set ?....are computer speakers any good ??

Hi Lynda. I enjoyed your article.

Just drove past the BP service station and the diesel price has jumped 6 cents per litre. Christmas must be getting close. Cheers, John

Well we have the tent and pretty much all of our bits and pieces are assembled and ready for our foray into "grey nomad world" in January.I know this seems to defeat the purpose of camping etc but what do you guys do as far as TV reception goes? we recently acquired a small TV and thought it would...

Any thoughts on whether this add on to your caravan TV for HD Digital sets works.....cheap enough, but is it a waste of money & if so, what alternatives are available.

Cindy's story of a death at Dales Gorge with a little boy still in hospital, reminded me of all the signs and warnings at the gorges in that park. The climb down into Dales was steep and care was needed, though there was a good path and hand rails. Perhaps they went down the other end which is rated as more d...

Anyone been here? #112 in CAW 6. I'd like to know if it's as nice as it sounds.

Don't you often wonder how the names of some places, creeks, rivers etc come about?? What are some of the funniest or stange names of CREEKs you have come across in your travels. We've all crossed a Sheep Station Creek or a Sandy Creek or even Dead Mans Gully which are pretty common so let's look past the o...

Did I tell you about my HWS ...... (Direct start Suburban USA made) Well ... For some years my HWS has been a bit cranky ... pilot always lit but the 'woffer' ... main burner was always a bit iffi. On the first night of the latest 8,000km trip it just refused to start. Then after finding a local gas fitter a...

My home page keeps telling me I have 2 new private messages and I can't get rid of it, though I feel I have answered all my PM's anyone got any ideas how to get rid of it as it is really annoying........

We had a thread about funny creek names, what about funny signs, if you have seen one take a pic and post. I will kick it off

Greetings from wet wet wet NSW. We have just purchased our van from a lovely man in QLD and are travelling back to sunny Melbourne when we just happened to be travelling through a wet period along the coast.

I recently spent a night at a lovely rest area off the main road and screened from traffic a few km north of the road leading in to Cannia Gorge. The Gorge is well worth some time, but $30 to park the van on an unpowered peice of grass was not on. However when my 79yo mother was asking the CP owner for the pr...
