At dinner, a little boy was forced to lead the family into prayer. Little Boy "But I don't know how to pray". Dad says "Just pray for your family members, friends and neighbours, the poor, etc". Little Boy says "Dear Lord, thank you for our visitors and their children, who finished all my cookies and ice...

During my research into national parks and the "Big Trip" I have come across many comments that state that generators cannot be taken into National Parks. This seemed incorrect -- can't take generators into National Parks??? so I emailed all National Parks Head Offices except Tasmania and all stat...

Recently I have become aware of 'shared occupancy' situations and am wondering if others would be interested in exploring setting something up for people like us? My idea is to set up a group of like minded people to buy a property together and we run it how we like. At this stage I have many ideas but one...

I have posted a few questions before & read lots of responses for a couple of postings but I am still unsure. The biggest problem seems to be is if a suburban 22lt gas/elec hws is hot enough to get the ecotherm to heat the van with very cold outside temps. From my checking the suburban is fitted with a no...

I am going to be parked up and out of the way over the January break and thought I might do a little maintenance. My first issue is those black marks that get on the rubber or vinyl strips that go between the joins of the caravan sides and front. How do you remove the marks and clean these strips? I have tried c...

Coming up the Birdseye highway from Elliston SA, two large Stags ran across the road in front of us, gracefully leaping over the fence. They were as big as small steers complete with antlers. Red deer most likely.

What do you do with glass jars and the like when travelling? Do you leave them in the cupboards or pack them separately with insulation? Any other tips for not spilling or breaking things when travelling?

I was just doing a bit if thinking re renting out our rig when it is sitting idle in our front yard especially during the summer months. Our van can only sleep 2. ( want we wanted.) Wondering the pros and cons would be. No doubt insurance would be No. 1 factor. What sort of weekly fees would apply?? Jay&...

The service was fantastic, delivered on time with a smile and a thank you for the business. Plus the price was exceptional. I'm going to put a post on Techies for som...

Hi All First post from an almost Grey Nomad (sometime first half 2019 to start our Big Lap!) We will have a motorhome-with-toad combination, and will transfer our current two NSW E-tags to these vehicles. However a question has occurred to me: If the tag is on the toad windscreen, will it also incur its...
