Big People Words A group of children were trying very hard to become accustomed to Nursery. The biggest hurdle they faced was that the teacher insisted on NO baby talk! You need to use 'Big People' words,' she was always reminding them. She asked John what he had done over t...

Then we are 'off' to explore the 'top-end' Have been a few times before - but never this leisurely... This time is for 12 weeks... I'm retired now but the missus isn't and she is taking accumulated A/L for this trip. Doesn't want to take more than that - fair enough... We have a newbie Jayco Discovery (nov...

Hi all. Could I get your thoughts on the pros and cons of Poptops V Full vans..I'm tending towards full, but concerned about handling in crosswind etc,and as I have little patience (ask people who know me) having to " pop the top" whenever may drive me further over the "top". G...

good morning I have just joined, I am looking for a van but at this stage have not made up my mind. I would like to look through your files and ask questions on out of date threads. Is that ok.

Any GNs using the "3" network so-called wireless broadband with a plug-in dongle? I've had it for some months now and while it is cheap, it's also bloody useless. Drops out every 15-20 minutes, meaning I have to log out, close the whole computer down and wait 10 minutes and then reboot the wh...

WANTED TO BUY! Was wondering whether it would be interesting for us to have a section Caravan for Sale or Caravan wanted. I'm sure there are many of us who would like to upgrade our rigs and sell the other rather than get nothing for trade in. Also could be a number of want to be GNs like me getting ready to bu...

OK Mechanical Techies this one's for you..... I need to replace the clutch release bearing in my diesel Pajero manual (90k on the clock) and it may make good sense to replace the clutch kit as well, depending on how much life is left in it. The vehicle is fitted with a dual mass flywheel that would have to...

This is NOT a post about whether we should have a new flag, but about our Flag History and those Australians fought under.
