I have been to Western Australia for the 3rd time this trip and by now should realise not to get off the road since so much of the West is sand. I made the mistake of going just slightly off the tarmac whic...

Saying hi from RBT , just looking around for a while before we start posting. We have had our ex Police RBT unit since about 2005 and it has remained mostly dormant except for its annual inspection which it passes with flying colours. We were based in ipswich for the last 30 years but have relocated to t...

In the post [ inverter's] there is much discussion between inverter & a 12volt system for a laptop. As stated the 12v system is a dc dc converter to be able to supply the additional 7volts to make the required 19 volt @ 3.45 amps. The additional 7volts has to be created & therefore must require s...

Does the purchase of 'things' for the van ever really end?. We keep saying "that's it" but along comes another good idea usually involving $$$$. Just received the approval for a subsidised sat phone - THEN THAT'S IT

Has anybody been to Yarramalong Weir (Qld) lately. Just wondered if the camp area is ok after the floods earlier this year.

Hi again, (hope I have put this in the right place). It is now only 11 months until we leave for our 'big trip". We have to sell the house and everything in it. I am starting to stress out because I really don't know where or when to start preparing. We have decided to sell up and just leave our perso...

CHECK YOUR SHAMPOO BOTTLES Check your shampoo bottle label. I don't know WHY I didn't figure this out sooner. It's the shampoo I use in the shower! When I wash my hair, the shampoo runs down my whole body and (duh!) printed very clearly on the shampoo label is this warning: FOR EXTRA VOLUME AND BODY ---...
