Does anyone lock the van to the car while travelling? Sometimes when I'm parked up a side street I often wonder how safe is my van. Doesn't take a lot to unhitch. I tow a trailer behind a motorcycle which I lock together using a heavy duty padlock via the safety chain. It will not stop someone who is determi...

Fellow Nomads, Be cautious with scenic flights! This article highlights something that has bothered me for some time now. Most recently i was touring along the amazing Gibb River Road and did a helicopter tour at the Mitchell Falls. The living conditions at this camp are despicable. We paid $500 for...

Hi all just wondering is there a cheaper alternative to cleaning and sanitising our toilet canister. Other than the expensive chemicals that are recommended. We are using the the little bombs and the thetford cleaning liquids. Any suggestion would be great. Cheers Louise
