I came up to a car towing a fullwidth Jayco pop top at about 85 kph. I passed on a nice straight, and as I came alongside he started drifting in...

Newbie caravan owner. I've just bought a secondhand Jayco caravan, 14 years old. I got a mechanic to say it was mechanically sound and I was there when he was. He replaced the wheel bearings. He said not to use the handbrake because people forget it's on and wreck the brakes. I asked him how it works...

I have just joined the forum because I think we can just about class ourselves as 'GREY NOMADS". We are not complete newbies having started off in tents and roof tops way back when (80's). In the early 2000's we relocated to the UK with the intention of staying for 6 months. Twelve years later we came back...

I used to watch a 'travel' show about 15 years ago about an older couple caravaning around Australia. They were both characters - but he was the face of the show. Each episode featured a different destination. He gave lots of tips on everything from maintenance, to safety and always cooked up a great me...

I've just got back from my 1st solo trip outback (20days 3700kms). I ended up only going as far as Alice and I didn't end up doing the Oodnadatta Track, which was just as well because the weather suddenly got wet and wild and I would probably still be stuck at William Creek. I got a motel room at Spuds Roadh...
