UHF ok for some, not mandatory
(

(Preview)
I get it, UHF can be useful in many circumstances. However, I'm 67yo and the older I get the more simple I prefer my life to be. The less distractions, the less tools, gadgets, items to charge and I've found I'm a lot happier.
Even my 5m caravan has been set up to minimalise packing up and setting up times...

4x4 motorhome

Got to thinking about it the last few days and finally decided to look them up on the web just to get an idea about them. Attached is photo of what I'm pretty sure I saw. It's called amesz.

I have recently discovered this site (Crime Rate) showing the crime rate for an area, although after checking some of the areas known to me, Im not 100% trusting of its accuracy. Howev...

Solar Panels on Car
(Preview)
Spotted this recently. Good idea when camped with canopy doors open, but minimal harvest when travelling, even with one panel on each side. No storage problems however, and unlikely to be "borrowed" if mounting bolts had lock-nuts inside. Cheers

Water tanks and connecting pipes emergency spares
(Preview)
I watched a You Tube caravanning video the other day and a caravan had lost the water connection point to the water tank. In the middle of nowhere of course! The connector had pulled out of the tank leaving a hole that drained all of the water out of one tank. This was not just a simple "replace the hose jo...

Where to dispose of grey water?
(Preview)
I have very great worries about the possible outcome that may well arise from the disposal of all grey water into the dump points. I wonder what thought has been given to the situation that will likely arise when all the RV and caravanner travellers all dump their 10 - 20 liters per day into the existing...
