We have a Lotus Trooper with 4 water tanks - 2x60 & 2x90 litres. Can anyone give us some advice as to the ability to convert one of the water tanks to a grey water tank?

Being on my first big trip I would be interested to hear how most people 'afford' their long stays on the road when it comes to sites.

Hi everybody, I tried to find some advice about this on the "search" system but failed. The kitchen sink is emptying more slowly, and I'm starting to wonder if "something" might be stuck down there. I've always been careful to wipe anything fatty off with paper towel before w...

Beachmere van park is just out of Caboolture and on Deception Bay. We need to stay near Caboolture very soon for a couple of weeks and wonder if anyone has heard or had any experience of this park. It is run by the Lions Club evidently. Thanks in anticipation. Elaine (Ma)

Folk planning to visit the Dig Tree should be aware that you might spend an hour or two in this "information Booth" before getting to the tree. I think entry is by $11 per car in an envelope at the gate. Fried Rice -- Edited by Fried Rice...
