Hey Guys, We are a not-so-grey couple who need some real grey advice about our impending trip from the Gold Coast to Broome where we are going to work for about a year. Unfortunately the trip has to occur over a four week period between mid January and mid February. We have a landcruiser (turbo diesel)...

We quite often see queries on here by and about women thinking of hitting the road on their own. Some seem (understandably) apprehensive. However, I had a chat today with the manager of a camper dealership in Perth's northern suburbs. He had a big range of the type of camper vans that would suit the sin...

Hi All, after a bad experience at another forum I'm now hoping this one fair's a tad better, a real shame as it was a great little site (spoilt by a minority as usual) never mind I hope as I'm in the right age group the clientell maybe a tad more moderate and understanding (I'm definately grey and a bit of a no...

The PERFECT HUSBAND Several men are in the locker room of a golf club.. A cell phone on a bench rings and a man engages the hands free speaker function and begins to talk. Everyone else in the room stops to listen. MAN: "Hello" WOMAN: "Honey, it's me. Are you at the club?&qu...

Hello All just need some info on electric brakes after towing the van for a little while the wheels and brakes on the van are quite hot , is this ok or should I have them checked. cliff

Has anyone been here? I understand that it is a free camp on the Wuruma Dam. Management and I are heading off up there, probably for about 10 days during the first part of the school hols. What I really need to know is, do you camp right on the water's edge?. The reason I need to know this is, if we camp on t...

Hi everyone, well home for 3 days and feet are feeling itchy....after 8 weeks and 13,000 k's the enjoyment of seeing our incredible country remains with incredible memories ingrained for life.

How would you like one of these ? Cheers, Sheba.

I have noticed quiet a few vans have names and their uhf channel on the back of the van. Is this a good idea, what channel should you use. Your thoughts please.

Hi All, Sorry to bother you all again but I need your advice (yet again!!!). I'm a bit confused re the jargon used and the difference between sway bars, torsion bars & wdh. I thought they were all the same thing but I'm not sure. What I do know is that they are used to reduce swaying when towing a van, do...

Would some-one please e-mail me a copy of the Photo I posted on [at the moment] page 5 ? I can't see it myself, and can't remember what it was. Thanks, Sheba.

There appears to be a little confusion over which uhf channel to use. If you use the group scan button on the radio, select channel 40 for the trucks, press memory, select 18 for the vanners, press mem again, then select the channel you want to use as priority,18 or 40, then press scan, this will scan the...

Around camp grounds and caravan parks, we see groups of people gather for a few drinks in the evenings, theres conversation and laughter. I often wonder if they all knew each other before they started travelling. It seems such a big part of travelling, to have a drink after the heat of the day. Yet...
