Just putting this out there for Cindy to consider and comments from the forum. So many people have blogs or web pages for their travels. Do you think a permanent thread for people who wish to share would be a good idea.

I have just noticed that the Greens Lake section is no longer showing in the Forum? Did I miss something? Has this been removed for some reason?

Greens Lake and Members Blogs · Webmaster

The 'Greens Lake' section has now been moved into the 'Get togethers' section as it is a popular spot for members to go to meet up. I have also moved the 'Members Blogs' thread into its own section so people can post links (an...

I have just spent the last four months driving through a number of countries in Europe, and was amazed by the number of vans on the roads and not one of them over 16 foot. When in Austria I saw a large caravan park with plenty of vans so I stopped and wandered in, where there was a group of people enjoying a hap...

Have just fitted a new roll out awning, replacing one which suffered badly from sun damage and disintegrated. Not wanting to have it happen again, I want to know how you protect your vinyl awnings. Ours was washed with mild detergent and vinegar regularly to remove dirt and dust, but I think there is a p...

We have bought a 1991 Coromal Lowline Poptop which has had the fridge replaced. The cabin and outside lights do not work on 12 volt but the fridge does. Where can I get a 12 volt wiring diagram to trace where the light wires come from. This was the only low poptop that would fit under our garage roof. Thanks...

Hi all. I am heading to Barossa in early November. I was going to free camp at Greenock Reserve. In Camps 8 it states 24 hours. Bugger, I wanted to stay 3 nights. Does anyone know how strict they are ? If they charge a "small fee" surely it wouldn't matter staying 3 nights as long as it isn't packed ?
