Hi all, I am thinking of changing my drum brakes out on our duel wheel van (22ft) to Disc brakes, has anyone done this and was it a hassel.? I know I can call the suppliers etc, but just wanted some feed back first. Also any ideas on cost etc.. As I have said above the van is 22ft, so its quite heavy, although t...

Currently camped up at Tarlee Oval. Three night maximum, by donation, and has flushing toilets. Just had a fantastic, and very filling, meal at the pub, only a hop skip and jump away. Also a great bakery in the Main Street.

I have an annex complete for a 16.5 ft pop top, heavy duty canvas, used only twice. Was fitted to a 1991 Roadstar. As we have fitted a roll out awning we no longer need it. It fits into sail tracks 2130 high on the van from the ground. Does not fit to roof, just to top edge of side wall. The end walls fit sail trac...

Because I lacked an education, I'm forced to ask my doctor to explain many things I don't know, so one day I asked him if he could tell me what a 'cubic foot' is. He quickly fired up his computer and downloaded so many pages that I thought his usual consultation feet..err..fee would escalate tenfold! Ha...

Hi All Tried posting on the techie corner but it disappeared. Try again. I have 2 solar panels on top of my van that feed (i expect) into the CTEC in the boot (of the van) and through to the 2 x 120ah batteries. At times in shade I dont have enough going in so am wondering if it is possible to plug a solar blanke...

G'day everyone, I ordered one of these Sunmaxx solar blankets (see below) to boost the power going into a couple of 110AH batteries. Currently only have the one 170Watt roof mounted panel. Anyway the panel arrived a couple of days ago and I had a go at hooking it up to the van, utilising the the second sol...

Hi Helping a fellow member here, I had suggested some 24V 200W panels from a good supplier previous used. However I was looking at some alternative size panels to fit around some items, AC, vents etc on a van roof, and thought I might get some wider, shorter ones for an easier fit. I broused Ebay and loo...

Does anyone use/using a Mobile tracker device in their caravan/car to know if it has been moved without you knowing? One of those device with a GPS, that send you txt about it movement. If so which one, and do you recommend it? SORRY posted to wrong area -- Edited by RDWRER on Monday 21st of September 202...

Hi everyone, this is my very first post on these forums, so I hope I've picked the appropriate place to do so. I've been looking around for a place in Queensland to camp for an extended period of time. I'm about to sit a solo two year meditation retreat, and ideally I'd like to find somewhere for this retr...

Hi All, I'm hearing that Caravan Parks are getting quite busy, just wondering what it's like out there for those who can get around?

I "hate" cotton because of its excessive water use in growing....but wear cotton clothing!!!. Has anyone tried something (that is appropriate in the tropics/hot climate) other than cotton??.......bamboo shirts?? cheers Bilbo

A Newfie died in a house fire and was burnt so badly that the morgue needed someone to identify the body, so his two best friends, Clem and Zeke, came to do the job. Clem went in first and the mortician pulled back the sheet. Clem said "Gee, he's burnt pretty bad. Roll him over." So the mortician rolled Clyd...

Being a fairly bright AND sometimes an intelligent person, I pondered over this for the good part of almost 10 minutes. I finally went into my old maths equations where "X" and "Y" were usually used in unknowns - until I finally conceded ignoble defeat and scrolled down without any grace whatever......

Quite frankly; the little four letter "F" word can be the ONLY word in the English language that accurately describes some situations . . . The word is 'FEAR,' of course!What in the world were you thinking?Sometimes - I worry about you .
