Ive got a Kings aerial standard with a Knaus moho, has anybody upgraded as the reception seems to be pretty limited.

We've just bought another van and the person selling it mentioned they had electrical problems which caused the house battery to cook. An autoelec subsequently installed a smart charger, low voltage cutout device, new battery and the other device in the picture. I have removed the cable from the "...

Maaate! What an amazing bit of gear,low price,low...

I have to admit I have been very ignorant of my service book after being blasted by my local mechanic over not reading and taking your own responsibility for servicing. I have owned my vehicle for over 3 years with 110000 km now and have the engine oil and filter done every 10000 km even though the service...

Hi GreyNomaders, Just wondering how many of you might carry a Sat Phone for the Just in Case (In Case) situation. I have a PEB with GPS but that's more for the Adventure Riding aka (Big Trail Bike), I'd appreciate any thoughts are they worth it?

My van has the wiring for all 4 jacks joined together somewhere in the walls (lovely !). This means that they all work together or not. This is insane thinking. Its very unlikely that any camping location its going to have a perfectly even surface. Once off the vehicle tray, one needs to adjust each leg...

Guys looking for some advice on whether a set of handheld UHF radios would be sufficient to communicate with truckies that are approaching from behind as well as using them to communicate with each other when positioning the van. I am not keen to add any external aerials as I don't have a bull bar and I wo...

An article written in the Grey Nomads web page suggested that solar panel mounts should not be just glued to the vehicle roof, but should be glued and screwed. As far as I am concerned, this advice is incorrect, and that a properly glued joint is better than a screwed and perhaps poorly glued joint. I mig...

Only after a few beers...........Cheers Bob

Twilight Payment has won the 2020 Melbourne Cup and taken home $4.4 million in prize money for owner Lloyd Williams, who has now won seven of the great race. Lloyd Williams is no doubt a very rich man. But he must have that canny knack of being able to judge excellent horse flesh. Of course, he would ha...

We are new here and are in a quandary. We are both 63 and still fit. Up until recently we had been camping with a roof top tent and basic items. Now we no longer want to climb a ladder and want to have more comfort from rain, wind, mossies etc. we will keep our new Isuzu MUX as our travel vehicle. We plan to still...
