Can anyone recently travelled Meekathara to Wilunan Western Australia please give us a heads up on road condition> We are towing 23ft van

iana · iana

Measuring out the all up tow length of a 24ft van and vehicle, this size seems daunting. Just wondering if anyone out there is towing this size, and how they get on when cruising the country? This is a travel length of 8.795 meters for the van.

It was almost laughable how we ended up spending about 50% mo...

Yesterday afternoon they pulled up at our camp site. Was great to see them and talk thru our life's journeys since we saw them last. Not much has changed still the same gracious couple that we came to get to know some years back. Trusting that we can continue our friendship in the years to come. briche

I know there are a couple of threads on CO sensors , but I'm still quite confused as to where they should be installed. Our bed is in the front of the van near the door. Would it go in the centre of the wall , above the gas detector but well below the smoke alarm ?
