As I am already living in our van and caot drive anymore I cant get to anyone who does these annexes. A gentleman is coming past me tomorrow to measure us for What they call a Captain...

Hi. I have just returned from a 3 week tour thru south-west Qld, Thargomindah, Quilpie etc, driving a Nissan Patrol 4.8 litre petrol engine, and towing a Jayco Starcraft Caravan. I monitor fuel usage out of interest, and to indicate when maintenance may be required. This trip my best result was 22.9 l...

Do parks charge separately for power on powered sites or is it included in the fee? If separate how is it metered and can you view it? Also, what are the tariffs? Just wondering how much it would cost if it's a stinking hot day or night and you want to run the van's A/C.

Hi, I am about to enter Alice Springs, and its currently below freezing at night. I was wondering if sub zero temperatures have caused any issues with Motorhomes or Caravans, particularly when the water connected up directly to it. Looking forward to any comments from any of the Grey Nomads ... -- Edi...

I have a single axle Windsor Genesis and was thinking of having a Powrtouch Caravan Mover installed. Most of my travels are done solo and it will (hopefully) remove the need to reverse a few metres and then get out to see how it is all going. Has anyone purchased one of these units and if so, what is the opin...

Hi All, Great Forum, I enjoy reading it very helpful. We have recently purchased a second-hand van and the previous has taken the TV but left the folding arms attached.

Hi all, I have installed a 200 WT panel. I run 2 130 amp AGM batteries. Batteries are used for very little as I am at home. My issue is after being in sun for 3 days the 240 volt charger goes to Boost when turned back on. Should the panel do the job or will the charger always cut in. Thanks for any info. Bill

Hi everyone, We plan on going from Tennant Creek to Noosa, and possible not going through Alice Springs. We would prefer to avoid roads with less trucks, so quieter roads if possible.
