Hello everyone, I had a flat battery a couple of weeks ago, knew it had a two year warranty but as I didn't have the receipt with me & I needed a battery, I bought a replacement. Went home & found the failed battery still had 2 months of warranty on it. Took it back to the agent, they said they'd test i...

Heading up to Jemalong Weir for a few days. Has anybody stayed there? What are the facilities? Cheers Wandererone

I love my wife with all my heart. She is a gentle soul, full of love for her family and friends, decent, hard working and sweet. But by the living Harry, it all goes away when we are reversing a van into a tight spot. Then she becomes Bridezilla, a cranky, arm waving, overbearing old bag. Firstly, before al...

We went to a doctor to ask whats happening to her but they said its only a migraine, so he gave a medicine to cure the pain. She was bedridden at that time. 1 month later when were busy on something i heard my...

Gday... This is a proposal being considered at the moment. The size of solar panel or wiring is not the question, just where would one suggest the positioning of solar regulator/s? Cheers - John

hi, im limited to where I can store my van. I currently own a swan outback which i park to the side of my drive using a pulley and trolley system. The limitaion is the width. At a squeeze the widest I can go is 2300mm . Most sites lack this bit of info and ask for all your details to send a brochure and even then yo...

One of me immigrant mates is now a true blue Aussie. I saw him drinking his own urine, chasing chooks around his back yard and with his ear close to a bulls arse. ... He said he was being an Aussie like me - drinking lots of piss, chasing chicks and listening to utter bull****.

Hi all, as per a previous post where I asked everyone how I was going to fit a fridge out the door that was too large, I decided to tackle the job head on and find out for myself. I might preface this by saying I know there are varying opinions on the different types of fridges and some quite strong opinions...

Hi I am just so sick of the toilet roll unravelling when the van is on the move. Nothing seems to work, and an elastic band is just a pain. So... I have come up with the answer and I'm looking for a couple of volunteers, who are about to hit (or are on) the road and are willing to roadtest and give me some feed...

I have a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee which I bought new. Not long after getting the vehicle I noticed the maps were not current , I have patiently waited 4 years for new updates which I've now been told where released in August 2018. I asked my jeep supplier if they were going to do the upgrade at their cost (Ha...

Unavoidable. You want your car and van in the Apple Isle, you have to get them and yourselves onboard one of the two big red boats. Having just returned, I have a few observations on the whole experience. We chose to do a day crossing both ways. Being able to see the waves and the occasional passing ship wa...

Gday... I am currently using the FOURTH of these units over the past ten years and admit I am at my wit's and patience's end. The originally installed one lasted less than a year before leaking and was replaced under warranty by the dealer. A further two have been replaced by the dealer when the van is in f...
