You were all so helpful with my questions earlier that I thought I'd push my luck a bit and try another one. As I said before I'm brand new to this and I've only just bought my van - don't pick it up for another week and a half. Added to this is the issue that I haven't lived in Australia for a long time so I'm not...

Can any-one recommend a reliable brand of 12/240 Volt TV for Lilly ? Thanks Guys, cheers, Sheba.

Just a quick post. If you are travelling from Victoria up the NSW coast, do yourselves a favour and drop in for a couple of days at Eden. Can highly recommend the Garden of Eden Caravan Park. Heaps to see and do, wonderful scenery. Will post some photos once home.

HI all, Wondering if we will be able to holiday in Queensland this year after all the flooding would still love to go there as our dollars may help those little towns that are certainly going to need a helping hand what are everyones thought on this. Helena.

This was sent to me by a Pommie mate of mine. A bloke walks into a brothel and says: "I'm a bit kinky, how much for total humiliation?" The madam replies $60. "Wow, what do I get for that," he says. She says: "A baggy green cap and an Australia shirt.

Has anyone seen Ma lately, I see she hasn't posted since early December. Seems strange as she is usually quite a regular poster. Hope she's ok.

Hiya all, Well I finally found the tug for the van. A 2005 Nissan Navara 3.0l diesel and for some reason I started calling her Bertha (one of the Butt Sisters) maybe it's because she's a bit of a big beast!!!

At a caravan dealership this morning to get an outside globe, and noseyed around inside the 5th wheelers they had (as you do). While they are all lovely and spacious with the slide-outs out, it looked like when the slide outs are in for travelling you wouldn't be aqble to access the kitchen, or the fridg...

Just before our recent trip I was looking at my french beans and thinking how they would be ruined by our return date. I picked a big bag full and put them in the fridge. As we already had a camp fire to do the veg in I thought why not the beans. We wrapped them in two layers of alfoil and splashed in a bit of w...

I've just bought (well just put a deposit on really) my very first motorhome. I've got a few questions that extensive googling has failed to satisfy so I'm hoping that you good people on this forum will take a few minutes to help me. First, it's an Avan on a Fiat Ducato (chassis? motor? - I'm still vague a...
