Road condition Armidale to Grafton
(Preview)
I'm wondering what the road condition from Armadale to Grafton is like going through Ebor and Nymboida. The maps I have are 25 years old and still show gravel road in some sections. Also are there many rest stops this way as google maps show very small towns along the way. Feedback will be appreciated. B...

I've even heard that thieves in some places use bolt cutters to cut chain. Does anyone have any suggestions re bike security? (I don't have folding bikes so can'...

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...

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...

In the latest GN News their is an article titled 'now you see it'.....a shield which can be propped up to make your campsite invisible to others. So, say a Landcruiser plus huge caravan wants to park there.... :)

FREE CREDIT SCORE

Hurry up and give them all your personal details so that they sell the info off and pay for the blanket adds on TV. IMHO a dreadfolly insidious confidence trick.

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...
