I know car salesmen get a bad rep most of the time,but the guy who we bought the "Tardis" from has been excellent, well and beyond after sales .. He has even moved to a couple of other different yards since we bought our rig and still is quite happy to come over and help us out with any questions we...

Interesting read on the front page. Can see both points of view. I have the Dog Friendly Book they mention. Found it an absolute waste of time. Nothing in it was up to date and when I stopped at the appropriate CPs always ended up in a heated discussion over what the book said about the park and what they did...

more sleeps to judgement day, Friday 22nd July 2011

I have seen threads at different times that recommended Nappisan for Porta Potties. Not having a pottie, I've only ever given these threads a quick glance. We called in to our van builder yesterday morning to have a couple of freebie added before heading up along the Murray. One of the things we left wi...

Discovered this seal on rock early in the morning,when camped at The Granites recently.

Gday... I spent two nights at the Tiaro QLD (south of Maryborough) free-camp and found it a pretty good spot. Tiaro is a small town - pub (one on main Hwy and a historic one out of town a bit), supermarket, cafe. It was a very popular free-camp with 16 campers first night and 18 the next. However, when I woke...

Decided to drop into Aldi today to pick up a few things as we didn't have time to get to our local Coles before it closed. What a bloody waste of time Aldi only stock mainly generic house brands and bugger all range of them at that, we wanted: Wostershire sauce "sorry discontinued" Potatoes ...

hello all I recently had purchased a caravan that had the vin plate weights altered by the dealer to a weight 400kgs less than what it actually weighed. Unfortunately I believed the dealer and took the van but on the travels it felt heavy and pulled the prado. Does anybody know the legalities of this Ken...

Too nice of a day to stay inside. Off to meet an american couple and get pissed at the beer garden. Please excuse any late night posts :)

Whenever I've put my caravan or campervan in for service or repair etc, i've always removed everything I can, including tools and personal valuable (eg; TV/Radio/Laptop etc). My reasoning is that it is better to do that rather than have a dispute later about anything that is missing. Bearing in min...

Despite numerous hold ups and appointments we are finally hitting the road in the morning for a few weeks. Haven't got time to travel far enough North for good weather but at least we'll be away.

Got notification in the Mail today from WORLD PROPERTY ALLOCATION, that I'm the lucky recipient of either [my choice] a 2011 AUDI Q7 SUV, valued at $ 54,200.00, or a Cheque to that Value. Just have to send them $25.00. Needless to say, it's already in the rubbish. Cheers, Sheba.

Hi all, Esmeralda is back from the plastic surgeons and looking rather spiffy

- or would do with a clean . Also, today I did the Tow Ed course at Sandown and can now reverse in a circle and a straight line - and can park in a site. By the way - do I ask at the CP office for the orange cones??

Can any-one tell me why this is happening again lately. It's happened before, but usually only last 1 or 2 nights. This time it's been about a week so far. Not stopping me from doing anything, just a nuisance. Thanks in advance. Cheers, Sheba.
