just a tad quite in here ATM so I thought I would make a post, about what then you may ask, well I dont know but we will see where it goes. cheers blaze ps thoughts are with the miner family and friends in NZ ATM
well I was laying under my van yesterday fitting new water tanks and got a call from some grey nomads staying at the stanley caravan park with tv reception problems. Drove the 20km to sort out there problems (just needed to make a patch lead), nice 5th wheeler, havnt they got some room in ythem. He was more amazed when he asked what the cost was and I just smile and said enjoy your stay in tassie. Hopefully one day carma will remember me or mine. cheers blaze
What a great gesture blaze you don't see much of that these days usually $70 just to ring the door bell..... now do you mind if I ask you what a 'patch lead' is and if its something that works anywhere....I'm not technically minded and as yet haven't tried my tv in the van but I am expecting poor reception, all I have is the tall plastic areial that came as part of my A'van camper so am interested in anything that will help when I set off early next year :)
Hi Gill The patch lead was to take the picture from the satalite decoder into a dristrubution unit of the 5th wheeler which then enable them to watch tv from one of the 3 locations they wanted to. I am still trying to nut out a system for on the road myself. My thoughts are that if I get reception, I may whatch a bit of tv, if I dont I will do something else, like goe for a walk. cheers blaze
Ha ha ha I didn't understand a word of that blaze but thank you for replying and I agree entirely with you if tv reception is bad its probably a bonus a walk would be much better

Love this thread, laughed out loud at most of the replies! Thanks for starting the idea
be nice if we could all raise a smile on someones face each day wouldnt it, nice and quite in my office. Got 5 young ladies (all just finished uni, all from Perth) staying with us ATM. They have been through uni together and very close (and did I mention noisy, in a nice way), they drew straws to see which 3 were to be the bridesmaids, so sweet I thought. They are all wearing the same outfits too. Not in shell shock yet cheers blaze
