On a recent trip up the West Coast I noticed how quiet the Traffic was on the U.H.F.C.B. Radio. In fact , there was nothing to speak of in the whole two thousand K.P's we travelled , even the truckies were dead quiet, the only talking we heard was an escort vehicle somewhere on the highway using that dead...

Just been browsing through the birthday calendar on here, there are so many names that we don't see much of, some who used to post quite a lot, and some I have never seen post at all, well not that I remember anyway.

I know these are used in some vw campervans currently being fitted out as a cheaper option than gas.. I'm interested in experience. I don't like my little cheapie gas one with the $2 cans as its not very good for simmering corned beef etc. I don't have the space for carrying gas. Thought I may buy a single o...

I plan to go to the Moto GP next year in 2015 in my Winnebago. I have read some forums that say the parking area can become a quagmire if it rains. Are they talking about the bike area only. If any readers have had the experience could they give me the benefit of their knowledge as to where to go, when to arrive...
