I then heard a pouring water sound, I went outside and I noticed that when the water pump was running it was actually pumping the water out through the water mains inlet a...

Yep, I have no projects labeled as urgent, everything on board is working. Even going to a caravan show today, nothing to buy, just look. I may do some home work on a lithium up-grade to our batteries, but its not urgent. Just serviced the van, here's to another nap!

Well, after today's episode I reckon that I have to be a bit of a goose. For years SWMBO has been complaining about the terrible squeaks that come from the corner steadies as I wind them up or down. They seem particularly noisy as we prepare for an early blast off, no doubt waking up or annoying our neighb...

Hi all on this glorious, sunny, Sunday afternoon (well from where I sit anyway!) Is there such a thing as CARAVAN CLUBS in Perth WA?
