I have just received a call from mobile number 0421 886 293. When I answered there was a pause and a foreign male claiming to be named Thomas informed me that I had been involved in an accident and he was working for a financial institution (unnamed) and was seeking damages from me. Of course, I did not fa...

Camping under the stars might just be the way to helping to rebuild happiness, Camping is being lauded as way to help you feel better about yourself, get closer to your loved ones and create a sense of reconnection to the world. Camping on the Dampier Archipelago islands in the Pilbara. Helen Osler lov...

I wired my car generator (charger), battery & Waeco (load) as per fig 1 below to save long leads. It's a bit more complicate in reality as I have solar panels, a second battery and a second fridge but the bus-bar was intended to simplify things. However methinks that I should have everything connec...

I hope someone can point me in a direction and recommend a vendor in Joondalup, WA area. The caravan is a 15ft Jayco Freedom poptop. There is a rear mounted spare-wheel installed. I would like to mount a storage box at both sides of the wheel. The front has a storage compartment lid that gets used oft...

Hello everyone I'm looking at buying a Hiace Campervan (2009 onwards) and would love to hear from previous and current owners about their thoughts on auto/manual and petrol/diesel. Love to hear from those especially who have owned/driven different combinations. They all have their pros and con...

My Omegalec power management system has eventually failed. Works fine on 240V and the supply from my vehicle. Trips an internal circuit breaker with anything mechanical (pump, fan) or more than a few lights. Battery charges and works fine. It's always been dodgy (or underpowered). Looking at a BMP...

Hi folks Banglabill here asking how do I remove a skylight from the roof of my 2012 Bushmaster bluegum caravan I can see the name REGIS on the plastic cover but I cannot see any visible screws to get the thing off the roof so I can seal it, it is the one over the bed. We are not using it at the moment but will be so...

My Jayco Starcraft outback was purchased 2nd hand. It has an oversized table. It does not fit into the drop down slot to make a bed. I would like to have the correct size. What are my options?

I think they'll be a few more of these "option" questions before I'm done. Snowy River offer the option of a ceramic toilet over the standard plastic (I think) one. Although the ceramic will be heaver it will, I suspect, be easier to keep clean especially over the longer term. When used and cleaned dail...

"I hate meeses to pieces" Yet another Month has finished and soon 2019 will be here.Welcome to my August 2018 update.I will start with the weather. Plenty of it while on the Mornington Peninsula, south of Melbourne in Southern VIC. August started where July left off, cold wet and windy, very windy an...

A heads-up for anyone planning to stay at a CP in Mt Isa. Thieves are targeting them and I was a victim over the weekend after I was away from the bus for 45 minutes. Surprisingly, and very thankfully, the only things taken were my el-cheapo pre-paid phone I had just as a backup and an old iPhone 4 with an app...

Gday... We are all aware that the modern trend is to force the fitment of greywater tanks to vans as a result of the crowding that occurs at many rest stops used as camping spots, particularly when the surface at those rest areas is 'hard stand'. Due to the crowding by travellers at unsuitable (for campi...

I'm sure someone has already scoped this out before. Are there any vans (not caravan) which will fit a full size bed widthways rather than lengthways? On Redbook the Transit seem to be the widest but the measurement includes the mirrors. Internally, they weren't as wide as I was hoping.

Important information for all Collingwood supporters going to the game next sat; dole payments will be available as cash advances outside gates 4,7 and 8. A temporary parole office will be set up near gate 3. An amnesty will be available for stolen vehicles that can be left in the carpark after the...

Wombat (ex GN) has asked me to pass on that Sue & Phil (Sufil on GN) went to their son's wedding yesterday, Sue is still in hospital but was granted ward leave to attend with Phil. Sue's short term memory loss and eyesight still not the best and she is still an inpatient. FYI. Vic

Been so thankful for recent help on this forum, especially the warnings on drop bears, I'll be sure to wear my pith helmet. Advice so far: Do 3 month laps because overlapping eVisitor Subclass 651 visas are the easiest to obtain, and the wife will tell me to go wank a wombat after 3 months in the bush if I t...
