We are in the relatively newly opened RV 24hr stop in Kambalda WA. An area in walking distance to supermarket, and shops. Not a huge area, but possibly at least a dozen, parked sensibly could fit in here. There is a dump point, and you can get a hot shower at the Recreation Centre, just next door for $2!...

Unless you drive one of those indestructible company vehicles don't take your own pride and joy. Been a sand island everything is on sand and more sand and t...

Gday... Some seem to have noticed my absence from the forum for the past week or so. To those who checked up on me I say thanks. My father-in-law is a prospector and each year he spends about 4 to 6 months in WA, north of Kalgoorlie in the desert prospecting his leases with a couple of mates. This year his eye...

Jayco tell me to keep the club lounge to put back in when we change the van. Trouble is storing it. I reckon that the van will sell even better with the new lounge chairs. What do you all think? And, what would it be worth? Aussie Paul. -- Edited by aussie_paul on Sunday 21st of September 2014 11:04:09 PM
