I'm wondering if anyone has any tips on what they found was essential and what they regretted giving space to. So far I have a camp stretcher and mattress, small stove and cooking utensils and plastic boxes for clothes. I will use an esky to keep food cool and a plastic bucket for loo emergencies. Oh and a...

good morning everyone in grey nomad land. I have a question. Strop and I have put up our awning for the first time. It looks great but we are wondering does it still need to be tied down at each corner or is it ok as is? Also, we have a skirt and were wondering how people prevent ants from getting into the van. t...

Hi out there It will be a few days to come before we finally hit the road, but we are already planning the big change in lifestyle.

While I have only joined a month or so ago I notice that the American term of 'rig' for a caravan is used - such as on the front page of the web site. (I presume everybody is familiar with the movie 'The Long, Long Trailer' with Lucille Ball and Dezi Arnez. At the beginning Dezi tells a man considering buying...

Does anyone know where Beth is? She has not been on line since 24th Jan, I PMd her a couple of days ago and have not heard anything back. Her current signature says Beth, SEQ. Recovering from surgery in Nambour. I don't know how old that message is/was. Bit concerned.
