Whilst travelling I use the data on my iphone to connect to the internet. What printer do I need to buy to be able to print, for example, my emails? I will be selecting personal hotspot on my phone and then using the ipad. Sandy

When riding a bicycle about a caravan park, do helmets have to be worn? the roadways may not be gazetted. If so, does the park management have any responsibility regarding enforcing that rule? -- Edited by iana on Friday 28th of October 2022 10:39:11 AM

Hello fellow nomads. I now live in Victoria, well at least that's what's on my driving licence. I pick up a new tow vehicle next week, but the caravan is on a constantly changing delivery date, which is currently April 2023. When it comes to Insuring both vehicles, do most people stick with the one i...

Hi All, Our first post here on this informative site. Does anyone have experience with the afterburner diesel heater controller. It looks really good and it appears it would make the control of the heater a lot better, auto starts, temperature starts and control via an app on smart phone. Cheers

Once the scale of the wet weather became clear I decamped from my beautiful lakeside location in NW Victoria a few weeks past and parked myself in this pleasant little community caravan park in central west Victoria: hard standing, P&W, a few shops and no river in about 25km - so far so good. I have b...

Hello fellow Nomads. Although my caravan is now delayed until late January, my tow vehicle is finally on the docks in Sydney and due to be ready in the next few weeks.

Hi folks, hope you are all warm and dry. So, my wife and I are tired of setting up the camper trailer and have started looking for a caravan. A quick trip to a dealership in Brisbane gave us quiet a shock, at the price and the 10-12 month waiting time. And as a result we are now looking for a second hand cara...

Outback NSW towns have had a bad rep in the past but I hear things are improving. Has anyone been out there recently and can comment on security and atmosphere?
