(

A large flock of sulphur-crested c0ckatoos have developed a new game, it's called "Let's sit high in the trees directly over Harding's camp crapping on his solar panels and driving him crazy with screeching until he leaps up and down flapping his arms like a demented eagle". Personally, I don't thin...

Off Grid Campervan - with No Toilet or Shower?
(Preview)
OK, this is probably a really dumb question from a Newbie at this. But I'm shopping around for a used Campervan (not motorhome) whilst we wait for our new one 'sometime' in the next 14-18 months..... So I see a lot of van 'conversions' of the DIY variety. These tend to be van conversions of Sprinters and...

Just found this site on the Internet: https://www.livingvehicle.com (Sorry if the link doesn't work - for some reason I couldn't copy and paste the site name.) The site is an American one for ultra luxurious vans. But what is of interest is that one of the features offered is a self contained water gen...

Do you carry a bike to get around on

The iconic *postie bike* is to be phased out to be replaced by battery power. They are almost a collectors item now so those travellers using them for personal commuting might have a little windfall in the future. The new electric bikes can carry more parcels than mums shopping car. Read it here https...

Swift 500 cooker fault
(Preview)
I was only made aware of this today, by word of mouth. Apparently the Swift 500 caravan cooker is not too be used until a full investigation is completed, as they can explode. I am amazed that this information has been better publicised, I would expect the caravan sellers would be aware of it, and s...

Accelerate or not

There was a segment on Channel 10, The Project tonight on caravan rollovers. A guy who rolled his van said he accelerated to try and prevent the sway from getting bigger. Question: should you accelerate out of the sway or just take your foot off the accelerator to slow down. I expect the use of the brake i...

Campervan on a Train?
(Preview)
OK, might sound a bit wacky. Just a thought. We can't really take months off work at this stage, but 2-3 weeks is manageable. If I wanted to drive from Sydney to Perth for example, but come back on the train. Is that doable? Or a mad idea? For a Sprinter size campervan (not motor home) Just found a random s...
