None of us have been everywhere in Australia but if all us grey nomads combined our photo's the result would probably cover most of it. This is the spot to try and stump each other as to where a particular scenic photo has been taken. Please include something in the photos submitted that will be an obviou...

Are you boiling hot, freezing cold, or soaking wet? Is the wind howling or is there a gentle sea breeze cooling you as you sip a pina colada on the beach? Feel free to use this section to let other nomads know how the weather is where you are in this wonderful country, and how you are planning to make the most...

For me two places stand out ( more will come to mind, but I'm a senior so I am having a moment) 1 Mataranka, a stunning spot I thought, the springs are usually full of grey nomads immersed in the warm water, the meals at the resaurant were fantastic and the Van Park though a bit on the dusty side was very clean...

Tyre Inflators
(Preview)
Next to safety chains the next PITA is finding a servo with ample room to check and pump up tyres. I have now solved this problem by purchasing a Milwaukee 12 tyre inflator.
They are worth every cent. They are small, light and compact and really quick. Accurate too. Just set the required pressure, hit t...

Problem Solved
(Preview)
I found fitting and detaching the safety chains to the car one of the biggest PITA ever inflicted on the caravan community. Sitting on the draw bar fiddling around with shackles, not knowing if they were tightening, dropping the pin on the ground, the whole lot almost put me into therapy. Now, I have so...

Hi All, Question for the electronic gurus. Have had a Black Rhino 12V fridge that I bought 3 years ago at Aldi when it was last one in store and with a +50% discount. Recently I decided that I wanted to replace my ever reliable Engel (54 years old and still going) with a Fridge that has a freezer compartment...

Why don't they build the gennies with a decent muffler?

Why can't the manufacturer build a silent genny? They can effectively muffle a 5L V8, so why not a piddling little 120cc fartbox? There's plenty of call for some clever handyman to make and sell on e-Bay a clip/ clamp/screw on auxiliary bit of silencer for the more popular of the gennies. The manufa...

Does the sound from your Van/RV TV speakers drive you crazy?
(Preview)
There's a fantastic solution - I have a Sphere 21" that speaks thru silver paper with a sound more like a $2 kids toy. So bad in fact that I rigged it to run thru the in-house radio - trouble was the sound was from behind and above and somewhat disorienting relative to the picture. Anyway I imposed on the br...

Hi Everyone, the time has come for us to sell our van as we have not been capable these last few of years. Question is how much do caravans depreciate per years these days? Bought it second hand in 2013. Aussie Paul

Hi fellow travellers, I was hoping to determine water pump sizing for 2 taps (Shower / sink). It seems brands are seaflo, jabsco, shurflo. What GPM & PSI is your current caravan water pump? Are you happy with flow/pressure? Thanks in advance.
