Stayed here a few weeks ago. The camp area is a short drive in from the highway along the road to Meandarra if I remember correctly. Big area, flat, flushing toilets, showers too but the water colouring was off putting in this regards, sensor light at night, picnic tables, BBQ and water in the logoon d...

An elderly gentleman walks into an upscale ****tail lounge. He is in his early-eighties, very well-dressed, hair well-groomed, great looking suit, flower in his lapel and smelling slightly of an expensive after shave. He presents a very nice image. Seated at the bar is a classy looking lady in her m...

I would like to make an observation re Caravans and MotorHomes placement of Microwaves. I have just looked at two new posts in the My Rig section. Two great looking vans. My query why oh why do they put microwaves high up. You will be getting very hot things out of them at head height. Not at all a safe place...

Apologies if this is the wrong forum. I'd be interested to hear views and experience in regard to parking a motorhome on the street in Brisbane in front of your home. According to Brisbane City Council regulations a vehicle longer than 7.5 metres is considered to be a long vehicle and "restricted fro...

My van lives in a shed for most of the year so the roof mounted panel is of no use to keep the battery charged. I'm thinking of getting a small solar panel (10w) to put on the shed roof. I know that such a small panel can be connected directly to the battery (100ah) but was wondering whether it will also work vi...

Hi Vanners There have been too many nasty accidents caused when jacks are used to change wheels / tyres on caravans and camper-trailers. There have been reports of some jacks having their lifting mechanism unexpectedly fail causing the jack to instantly collapse. The main causes of jacking ac...

Hi all Wondering if anyone has had zips replaced on pop top vinyl skirt/walls. We realised all too late that we had dropped the roof onto the actual metal zip tab and in our extreme heat up here by the time we popped the roof it is stuffed. We have tried lots incl. silicone spray, candle wax, windex, etc. ...

We hadn't been to The Forest Camp in Warby-Ovens National Park for about 6 years. Nothing had changed, it was perfect, particularly as a quiet location to avoid the ''madness'' of the unofficial Melbourne Cup long weekend. We highly recommend this free camp to anyone who enjoys nature based camping...

Hi, I'm new to this and would love some advice from seasoned nomads. Hubby n I are purchasing a new van and we are at the design stage. I want gas struts to lift 2 single bed, but was talked out of it. Instead there is a flap to access under bed inside the van and an access door outside. What is best struts inste...

So Excited to announce that I have finally purchased my very first van. She is a 2004 Paramount 18' in really good condition. I'm like a dog chasing a car....now that I have it, I'm not sure what to do with it. Still working full time so I guess I will just have to start planning trips. We will tow it with Lo...

Have delayed buying ramps for our Tandem van for years as we mostly camp in the bush and if necessary dig small holes for the wheels to level out the van ( and refill the holes when I moved off) anyway recently had a few instances where ramps would be handy so purchased 2 yellow 5000Kg ramps at a good price. $...
