I have just replaced the battery in my Mothers Toyota Starlet. Interesting to note the battery was purchased and installed in 2006, ie 14 years old. It was still starting the car but was getting slower to start. I took it out, put the meter on and it read 12.6V. Put the charger on for 24 hrs and after settli...

I will be short and sweet about this topic and I would say it has been discussed before. I have an overall length of 13.7m and a height of 3.1m with my van and tow vehicle. I received my Linkt account and found I was classified as a heavy vehicle and was charged $23.27 on my account. I am of the belief that you...

Anyone figured out the new CMCA GeowikiX yet? Or do you think Wikicamps is the best. For the life of me I can't figure out Geowiki x. I've read their FAQ several time but to no avail. Can CMCA's Geowiki be used off line?

I have a setec drifter panel in my van and it has worked fine for two years, then we dragged it out of the shed to use it again for a weekend and the panel has no information on it at all, so where the bucket shape is it reads no water the battery will run the electrical in the van but the drifter says the batte...

Some of you Nomads need to know your limitations.............

Hi All. It has been a long time since we had a locked topic. Sad really, I been lacking a bit of interesting reading matter. Will we have a sweepstakes on the next locked topic.

An older man approached an attractive younger woman at a shopping mall.'Excuse me; I can't seem to find my wife. Would you talk to me for a couple of minutes?'The woman, feeling a bit of compassion for the old fellow, said, 'Of course, sir. Do you know where your wife might be?''I have no idea, but every t...

i just had my rig put over the weigh bridge whilst away on a road trip. When it came to toe ball mass the operator did not want me to unhitch. Instead he had me raise the jockey wheel so high it was lifting the back of the car quite considerably. Surely this must give a false TBM reading. As a result I am a littl...

The plastic toilet bowl in the van has stained/tarnished over time. Tried all sorts to clean it, including the internet favourite, tooth paste. Nothing has worked to any great degree till I tried one of the sodium percarbonate products, in this case, the Aldi Di San Oxy 32.5%. With a bit of elbow greas...

Just had a great weekend away in my piece of crap (my opinion) Retreat caravan where several other things fell apart. Getting used to this so no big deal but certainly wish I had bought a cheaper brand! The weekend was some what tarnished by the very sore back I developed after the weekend and I suspect t...

Best diet to lose weight and get your diabetes Type 2 (and possibly Type 1) under some sort of control is to go for a No Carbs Diet: I eat cooked sliced Beef from my Deli and leafy greens, Brussels Sprouts and Mushrooms, I drink water laced with Sugar Free Cordial to taste and I don't drink alcohol or smoke....

Hi all, A mate has just told me about this little device called MT Tracker BBQ. Sits under the gas bottle via magnets and transmits accurate info on gas levels via an app to your phone.. Go to BOC Gases site for more info and download. App is a separate download. -- Edited by Magnarc on Saturday 7th of March...

just waiting for the new next gen to be built

I find one of the real joys of caravan life is waking up early in a tranquil place and listening to the birds getting warmed up for the day. Camped a distance away from me is the leading authority on everything. As the birds start, so does he. He has a voice like a foghorn and barely pauses for breath. Fort...

Lovely Italian story...............be careful what you say.

Recently got caught in hailstorm. There is only a small amount of visable damage (in fact you have to look really hard to see it.) Mostly on the roof that is three meters high (motorhome) The assessor was intent on saying how expensive it would be to fix it. Have to remove a lot of the interior lining...
