Hi everyone. Geoff and Veronica here from Tasmania. Almost finished our 5th wheeler build and eager to join you all in the great outdoors.

Hoping for advice on how to keep water and dust from getting in the vent for our Swift Hot Water Heater, please. What do you do to keep it out?

I got sick of getting in/out of the cab a couple of times when I wanted to hook the van up. I've seen how other couples tend to get into arguments as one tries to guide the other onto the van.

Not quite a joke ... more like a fairy tale. One crisp winter morning in Sweden, a cute little girl named Greta woke up to a perfect world, one where there were no petroleum products ruining the earth. She tossed aside her organic cotton sheet and woollen blanket and stepped out onto a dirt floor cover...

Hi all, I thought I would post a pic of our van/setup home away from home. Its small but homely and does the trick for us on our adventures. Its a Drift Away 13 foot with an ATM of around 800kg and is easily towed with the Ssangyong Musso .
