Nice to meet more GNs
(Preview)
After communicating with dunmowin for the past few weeks about travelling in Tasmania we were able to meet face to face. It was great to enjoy a nice 'Happy Hour' with Lorraine and John. One of the great things about this Forum is meeting new people who share the same love of travel that we do.

Weight Distribution Hitch (WDH) Demo
(Preview)
Gday... I became aware of this video from another forum. It gives a good idea of Weight Distribution Hitch (WDH) use - particularly for those who are new to vanning. It is interesting that the vehicle used in the video is an Isuzu MU-X - interesting to see how it copes with the 2,500Kg van with and withou...

Is water from a washing machine "Grey water"?
(Preview)
Setting up the drain hoses on the van, the kit included a 25mm connector and a 38mm connector. Not taking too much notice of the maze of pipe work at that stage, I brought the 25mm OK, then went searching for the 38mm, and guess what the only supplier was Jayco. So $75 poorer I went to fit, but before I unwrap...

Talvor Adventure Camper

Has anyone hired one of these or had any experience with them? They look like they might be very hot inside during summer. I'd imagine they get knocked around when hired.

In recent times we've camped in a few areas where there are a lot of fruit bats (flying foxes). While staying in these places we've spoken to many people that seem to have the wrong idea about these animals to the point of hysteria in some cases. We've done some research & come up with these FACTS. 1. B...
