We have just sold our pop top!!! It was a coromal, and really did serve us well. Now, the problem is... we are looking for a full van. Like the Lotus. It seems to have everything we need.

A blonde pushes her BMW into a gas station. She tells the mechanic it died. After he works on it for a few minutes, it is idling smoothly. She says, 'What's the story?' He replies, 'Just crap in the carburetor' She asks, 'How often do I have to do that?'

Does anybody know of a ratchet type caravan-towing mirror for use on a Hyundai Terracan. Have tried a few but they were unsuitable as the clip that goes under the door needs to be narrower.

Every day i drop in to the forum and have a read. You have to admit there is no better advice to be gained from a want to be perspective than the chit chat of experienced travellers. How about those solo people who have a blog list it here ? Or may be you know of a great blog by a solo and can recommend it? It would...

After a long night of making love, the guy notices a photo of another man, on the woman's nightstand by the bed. He begins to worry. 'Is this your husband?' he nervously asks. 'No, silly,' she replies, snuggling up to him. 'Your boyfriend, then?' he continues. 'No, not at all,' she says, nibbling away a...

Old TimersBar Four old retired guys are walking down a street in Port Macquarie, Australia . They turned a corner and see a sign that says, 'Old Timers Bar - all drinks 10 cents. They look at each other, and then go in, thinking this is too good to be true. The old bartender says in a voice that carries acro...

Hi everyone. We finally made it across the top of Aussie and have now stopped in Broome for the Wet. After needing new shocks, new tyres (after a blow out) and a bit of 'down time' we thought a stop in Broome to recoup would be a good idea.We will stop here to see how we cope with the cyclone season and the hu...

Newbie here and wondering if anyone has any suggestion on what type of cheaper campervan to buy for solo travelling woman. Am only thinking about it at this stage. Reading all your posts with interest.

What a week! and it is not even half way through - don't know why, but i thought of your guys to share this with. On Sunday, whilst Pete was at golf, one of the guys told him that he had inoperable cancer with about 14 mths to live, sounded like he had quite a good posistive outlook, and he at least had time to pu...

Well, the child bride (she does have a name) and I have decided to escape from the humdrum of small business and do the GN thing, leaving around Easter, next year. We have decided on the kind of van we want (18'-20' with shower and wc), so now begins the agonising task of buying a tug. In the esteemed opin...
