A bit of typographical common sense wouldn't go astray.
(Preview)
It's not a good idea to write endless lines of type so that anyone with an A4 style page size has to concentrate when returning to the next line of conversation. The general style preferred is 80 - 120 characters per line. Some of the posts here are bloody difficult to read - the eye cannot easily jump to...

Campervan with two water tanks - one entirely grey water
(Preview)
Just perusing a newsletter about a new campervan and was surprised to see that it had one 100L water and one 100L greywater tank. Crossed my mind that 100L for greywater is a huge overkill - I have gotten by with a 20L occasional use drum for those hysterical mainly Council camps that demand that the gre...

For self-contained full-time travellers like me this equates to an annual saving of $27,000+. Not 'Chicken Feed' Makes spending a bit of mon...
