I have been watching the news regarding the terrible flooding in Townsville. I lived in Townsville for 18 months around 2000 and remember a cyclone when I was there. I lived in the Railway Estate area and recall that if there was heavy rain and the tide was full, all the drains would cease to function an...

Two elderly women were out driving in a large car. Both of the women could barely see over the dashboard. As they were cruising along they came to an intersection.

My question is should I adjust the brake controller to be actively on when descending a stee...

As anyone who owns a pop top with a shower knows, the shower head is very low. Ok if you are 4'5" :) I have recent purchased a new 16.67-5 Jayco Journey Outback and my first project was to rectify this by extending the shower head from the hose with a length of PVC pipe and a couple of screw fittings - all from B...

We have a NCE 2.5 kg washing machine in our van, it doesn't get used unless we are in a Caravan Park with power and water. My question is it able to be used while we are free camping?
