This may be of interest to some on here. The vision certainly takes me back to my childhood days with my Dad and a road that followed the paddock fencelines. There is some home truths in the clip as well. Just to let those who dont have much internet data, this film goes for approx half an hour. Enjoy, https...

"Don't go there", "Just get your fuel & go" "It's not safe" "Barbed wire around the CP" "Lock up everything" "Don't leave your van unattended" We've all heard these sort of things - almost inevitably they relate to Aboriginal towns, or towns with high aboriginal populations. Ceduna, Halls...

How do you charge your Ebike from the car. I was talking to my friends yesterday about their Ebike (Tandem) that they take with them when camping. I always assumed they charged it from the car when traveling, It's a 48v Battery. They told me they have to wait till they get 240v power available. I was...

Has anyone cut and polished their fiberglass van using an electric buff, what's involved, and what are the pit falls. Does anyone have any idea of what it might cost to get a large van cut and polished by a detailer? Thankyou.

Thinking of buying a secondand motorhome with the Mercedes V6 diesel. I know past service history is very important but would love to hear from any members of this forum who own and drive such a vehicle. How do you find it for reliability, service costs, fuel economy? Many thanks Wayne'o

Is it worth it? I like having public liability, but the tow vehicle already has it, so do I need two lots of cover? Col...
