Pat on the back for Dougwe, while I am fairly new to the forum, I notice that Dougwe always gives a friendly welcome, and gives encouraging advice to the new comers on the forum. While others do their bit also, I notice Dougwe is always there. Good Onya Doug.

Hi Everyone How do you rid yourself of Geckoes in a caravan? We are in Gladstone and have picked up some unwelcome hitch hikers. We would really like to rehome them to anywhere other than our van. Can you help?

Two of us are planning on becoming grey nomads next year. One of us has sleep apnea and needs to use a machine during the night and hence we require a fair bit of power. What are the rules and/or the etiquette of using a generator at a free camping site to charge batteries, eg say up to 8 pm?

Gday... I met Pete and Lesley Robinson (robo24) this morning at their camp on the Murray River bank at Nyah. They have a $million view of the Murray from their van door. Unfortunately, I was a trifle early and disturbed them but we ended up having a good chat about the frustrating problems they are havi...

OK Folks, for those of you who read my post about drinking water acroos the 'Boor, we are now in Norseman and staying at the local CP. It works out cheaper to pay the $35 fee there than haul all my water up from Esperance in terms of fuel used. My next question is: can you get Telstra mobile phone and intern...

Hi all. Does anyone know of a suitable bike rack for the new Jayco Starcraft van or, does anyone know where we can get one custom made in the perth area? None of the bike racks that we have seen online look to be suitable and we can't attach it to the car because of a reversing camera. Help would be apprecia...

Hi All We are looking at buying a Car-a-villa caravan for our Aussie adventure (not off-road). However, I can't seem to find any reviews on them. Does anybody out there have one or heard about them that could give us an idea on their pros and cons? Cheers Dizzybird
