I want to have some music and local radio in our van and wonder what you folk out there did to solve this situation. I guess the simplest solution would be to get a car radio/cd unit fitted as this would be 12 volt. The other option is a small portable bedroom type stereo which would not take up much room, can...

This is a new one. [On me, anyway.] I had a Phone call this morning, advising me that the Australian Government in Sydney, was going to pay me over $7,000 of supposed Bank overcharges, by either Bank transfer, or by Cheque. I played along, and asked for a cheque. The caller gave me his name, Paul Johnson....

Hi Has anyone done a caravan and towing course and found it to be of benefit. While I have towed a number of caravans before they have not been an 18ft full size van so am finding towing this one a new experience. I am looking at what Metec offer here in Melbourne and am tempted but at over $500 I want to be sure...

Hi everyone! Hubby and I are both wanting to start our nomading days but all we have is a large family tent. We do have all the camping equipment we need but just not the preferred caravan/campervan.

Do you think we could still start doing some traveling with the tent, or is it best to hang off until w...

I left Launceston on March 18 and travelled the Newell Hwy. To Mapleton, at the back of the Sunshine Coast, Qld. I am now on the return to Melbourne, with a stop at Finley NSW. During this trip I have stayed mostly at free camps and at some of these, many RVs were parked. Apart from meeting a few GNs at Green...

Has anyone taken their rig to NZ? I know you can arrange a swap, but we'd prefer to take our own. Our 14 yo poodle can go too since the quarantine regulations have been relaxed. We never go anywhere without her. We wonder about the costs involved and whether we can travel with the rig rather than fly to join...
