The Grey Nomads - General

margy · margy

Hi all you Nomads out there, Just thought I'd take a chance and post this request from our Parish Church in Waitara (Sydney). We have a sister parish in Cobar and have collected heaps of clothing which is packed in bags and which need to be tranported to Cobar preferrably free of charge. If there is any...

Well we have just put in our order for a new Jayco Conquest motorhome to be delivered late November. We have sold the SS Commodore (my husband's pride and joy) to begin our dream. Our plan is to start getting used to the motorhome life by doing small trips around Tassie before setting off for a longer trip...

My wife and I will be heading up through inland Qld in July going as far as Rocky, then returning via the coast. We are interested in locating quiet friendly van parks along the way that are near inexpensive Golf courses. The resort courses along the coast are out of the question. Any suggestions? Bags...

I am considering buying a hydraulic Trail-A-Mate for use on my 16 foot pop-top. I would welcome any comments for or against from those who own or have owned one. Indication of price paid would also be useful.

During June & July my wife and I will be looking for workers to take vine cuttings at Frankland WA. Its easy work, cutting short sticks and you get paid $10 per bundle(100 sticks) which beginners can usually cut in half an hour. Once experienced some can make up to $25-$30 per hour. If you come with...

Will be touring Tasmania in Feb next year in a caravan for about 4 weeks. Want to cover as much of the Island as possible and am not sure quite how to plan the tour. Is it best to keep the number of caravan park stops to a minimum and tour around in a fairly large radius from each base camp or increase the numb...

This is our first time on the forum and also as caravaners. We are picking up our new Van a 20.5ft Sunland Series 3 that will weigh in at about 2.5 tons. We can not decide if we should buy a V8 Land cruiser or pay the extra for the Turbo Diesel version. Very expensive either way. Everyone has their own opinion...

I'm researching a tow vehicle for my first caravan (yet to be purchased). I want a compact one but still with enough grunt to tow easily. I'm going for a diesel (unless persuaded otherwise). I was looking at a Jeep Cherokee 2.8 diesel which ticked a lot of boxes in being not too big and seeming to have enou...

I have a 2003 Nissan Patrol, towing a 22ft Jayco Westport. My problem is that when the caravan is hooked up, I can't open the RH door on the back of the car wide enough to get into the slide out draws. Does anyone know of a different type of hitch besides the old screw nut type that I could use. I,ve loo...

We are leaving Perth in about 4 weeks towing a Supreme Territory caravan heading across to Adelaide, up the middle to Darwin, across to Broome and back down to Perth or should we go the other way, ie from Perth up to Broome, across to Darwin, down to Adelaide and across the nullabor to Perth ?.
