Anyone know of reasonable van storage for a week or 2 anywhere between Wangaratta and outer Melbourne? Have given up on trying to take the van into Melbourne as I can't find anywhere to stay in it with 2 dogs. Rosie

Picture this...I'm walking behind a woman of about 60ish, nice figure, wearing light grey leggings, with either no undies or a Gstring, and a top that didn't cover her bum.

Age didn't really have anything to do with it. In my opinion, leggings should only be worn with a long top.

A question for someone who understands such things. Due to an unfortunate accident one of our solar panels is twisted and scratched. I have a multi meter but am unsure how to test if the panel still works so any advice would be appreciated.

Arrived here today. In case anyone is wondering the area is quite firm for parking up so it has dried out nicely since the rains. About 20 RV's here tonight. We'll be here a few days. Call in for a cuppa if you're passing

We arrived in Eucla this afternoon, (so glad to be back on the internet again!) We'd intended free-camping on the Eyre Highway, but we usually stop in roadside stops/free-camps for morning tea and lunch, and we found the ones we stopped at were filthy. There is all kinds of garbage lying around,...

Well I've gone and done it when I didn't plan to - spent the inheritance. I've traded in the Driftaway Little Robin Mini for a Coromal Compac which has more space for the doglets and I. It is a 2008 model and has an aircon built in and a battery pack. My query is about the battery pack. Where I bought it I w...

I contacted 5 Caravan manufacturers as suggested, and asked them what I asked the forum: Can anyone tell us why the backs of the seats have to be made up of 2 cushion rolls, (or more,) with one overhanging the other like the flab on a very obese persons gut? Also, why do the seats have a large roll along th...

Did a load of washing this morning then headed out for the day. When we got back in mid-afternoon and went to get the washing off the line, we found that all the shirts that had 3 pegs in them now only had 2 pegs. What sort of person steals someone elses pegs from off their washing?

Hi all, I'm just wondering if anyone here has Meniere's Disease, and if so, how do you manage your symptoms while travelling? What sort of unique challenges do you face, and how do you overcome them on the road?
