I called in yesterday morning to see how things were going. The motor had arrived that morning Sam said. He just had a few cars to get rid of out of the workshop then he would be putting the boys onto it. He thinks he may have sourced a speedo, was waiting for a phone call on that. So I think should be ready earl...

Probably not the right place for this but I am sure you all you pet lovers will understand why I put it here. I saw this on another forum....... I RESCUED A HUMAN TODAY Her eyes met mine as she walked down the corridor peering apprehensively into the kennels. I felt her need instantly and knew I had to help...

Hi .. I am looking for advice please on adjusting the standard al kao drum breaks on my van. I have always adjusted them by winding them up until they are tight & then back off a few clicks until the wheel turns freely but with the 'cttcchh' noise as you spin the wheel. I have been told that two van ser...

We wish to thank all for the great "welcome to the site". Hope to be a regular and hopefully get to meet some members along the way. A further thanks for the comments received of our photo site. Both of us are novices with photography, often just happening on a scene and then "click&qu...

It was decided - not by me - that a short foray with the van was due. So we headed away, a bit more than a fortnight ago. As we trundled down the freeway, I did manage to convince the driver that, in the prevailing wet, cold and windy weather, the Great Ocean Road was not a great idea. We had a few days at Port Fai...

I saw a thread on here re this subject at some stage, but can't find it. I've changed my mind about getting a campervan, and now looking at a tiny poptop caravan. The maximum ball weight of Lucy is 75kg, and my tow limit, unbreaked is 500kg, or breaked, 1200kg. I'm searching for caravans weighing aroun...

After the 12 month plan posted earlier on this thread I have come up with a 15 month plan to travel round Australia, based on covering 1000 kms per month in either four weekly trips or fortnightly. The budget would be based on a fortnightly pension, 500 kms of petrol and 14 nights at $22 per night for a pow...

So this is why we have a shakedown cruise lol went a bit far from that before I lost power 240V when plugged into caravan park power. Have waited a few days for an electrician but it hasn't been hard as the park is next to a lovely tidal beach. He came today and pulled "stuff" apart and found a re...

Hey all fellow GNs forumers...

Oh, I Wish I'd Looked After Me Tits By Pam Ayres Oh, I wish I'd looked after me dear old knockers, Not flashed them to boys behind the school lockers, Or let them get fondled by randy old dockers, Oh, I wish I'd looked after me tits. 'Cos now I'm much older and gravity's winning...

We are considering a new Jayco Sterling caravan as our new van. I am a concerned that the curved shower door in the ensuite looks a little flimsy and could cause problems such as door coming off track or jamming. I would welcome comments and feedback from those more experienced than myself Thanks Ed

HI all, Last night I tried to cook a pizza in our baby Q - unfortunately it didn't turn out too good, burnt base and just cooked on top We had it on a Pizza tray sitting on the Trivet on Low - does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks Shell

I had a quote from an agent this morning in response to my request to fit panels to a Jayco Conquest, The quote was for 2x 85watt panels, 20amp contoller and LCD display monitor plus 2 x 100amp hour batteries of teh same make and vintage. (they say mine is no good, they must be matched. All wiring and batte...

I have a failed house battery & I am in the market for a new one. Could I ask those elec. techs. their opinion of the pros & cons of one larger AGM, as against two 100ah in parallel. I have an open mind on the subject & would value knowledgeable input. Thank you. Terry

Looks like the gub has replaced us
