Out of the blue have suddenly started to get emails from Hipcamp - am 100% certain I have not registered/logged into or whatever to site by this name. Anyone else getting them? - afraid it may be a scam. They give a PO Box address in Moruya NSW.

Love the trend from my GP to do consultations by both Telephone and Face to Face. A telephone consult saves me hours, no driving to the surgery and sitting in the waiting room catching all the germs patients bring with them. No extra hand sanitiser and face mask routine to follow as it sit at home, or...

On a recent post a number of people have referred to noise in the mornings caused by "warming up" the vehicle before driving out of the campground. Is "warming up" a diesel requirement? I have never owned a diesel vehicle so I don't know how you are supposed to treat them. I have only ever owned petrol veh...

Hi All I was wondering, why are we using water hoses especially for caravans and not the garden hose variety as they are a lot cheaper. My current water hose has finally split again, I have used a joiner (12mm) but it is time to renew. I run a inline filter for the water to go into the van either under mains or...
