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... We have now been on the road just under a month, and have made if from Jimboomba to Blackwater, currently sitting under the stars at Bedford Weir We have had a ball, have mets lots of new GNs and even some fellow forum members in Bargara Life is different to what we expected...

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

Ps: stand by for a witty wombat comment !

What happened to the Caravanning News announcement this month. A friend mentioned a bit out of the latest edtion but when I came back here to check, Denis's announcement was not here.

Where's Myrtle up to Marj? Are they putting her back together yet? Do you have to "run in" her new engine, or will it be pick her up, fill her up and go? Rosie

This ad has really been getting a flogging on TV & Radio so assume many of us have seen it. Does anyone know the people in it? Who can tell me the type of caravan and tow vehicle they are using? -- Edited by Vic on Friday 29th of July 2011 03:10:47 PM

I had an entry in at the Good Guys for their Harley Davidson Fat Boy (thought the last bit fitted in with my image) and was imagining myself flying along the Highways like in Easy Rider, hair flowing out behind me (well maybe not) in motorcycle heaven..... Alas, not to be, went to the draw this afternoon a...
