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...

Solar Power for 16.5 ft Poptop caravan
(Preview)
A few months back, I donated my 16.5 ft Jayco poptop caravan to an organisation which is using it as temporary accommodation following recent bushfires. An elderly person is apparently using it now and I don't know where it is currently parked. Being in a burnt out area, it is likely that there is no po...

Disappointing service from Dometic.

Had the need to replace the lock in a Dometic door in the van. The door is one of Dometic's "hourglass" style with the smoked glass closure over insect mesh. I took the van to the Dometic "service" department fully expecting them to service the failed lock - they only service Dometic branded equipmen...

HWS temperature
(Preview)
I have the usual Suburban HWS in the Jayco. The temp of the water wether on gas or water is only 47-48 C. It's not hot enough because when showering too high a percentage of hot has to be used with some cold to have a decent shower. My old Majestic is near 80 - which means that less hot has to be used to temper t...
