Just letting you all know if you are looking to purchase a rechargeable fan the Companion which is 240x12x6volt battery with LED light, are not all that they promise to be. The 6 volt battery that is meant to last 4 hours on low and 2 hours on high actually only lasts maybe 1 hour on low, if you are lucky. Whe...

Tasmania has now been classed as 'Extreme Risk' by WA Gov, so not much chance of me getting back any time soon. Oh, well, there are certainly worse places to be stuck with my small rig, my dog and my kayak. However, I would welcome any suggestions on places to stay (with a dog and preferably near water for p...

The outlet plumbing pipe from the shower under the caravan has a bladder in a part of the pipe. This bladder seems to stick together quite often which prevents the shower from draining. The bladder is accessible by disconnecting part of the plumbing and freeing up the bladder by hand, which is inconve...

As a full-time traveller predominantly in New South Wales I realised that I could be helping more people whilst on the road. I am a Justice Of The Peace which means I can sign off on legal documents and confirm proof of identification needed for legal documents etc. If you see me on the road and need fre...

Recently renewed our membership. As part of general membership they are restricting towing of vans and trailers to less then 2000kg. Now costs extra per month to cover towing of any car and trailer combo over 3500kg. Not happy but like most insurance you don't like it until you need it. Glenn

Interesting article about how a car with a large number of seats ( 7 say - like some cars have ) could be overloaded just with number of people - like 7 adults. The overloading could void your insurance. Does not mention caravans at all - but I just found the article surprising... and something I had not re...

Can any one direct me to the area dealing with how is the best way to handle solid human waste when free camping. We have a portaloo but but after a few days cleaning out the smell I would think could be a problem. Checked under several common names for it but found nothing to help Thanks all

I am curious if anyone on here has had to isolate whilst on the road. Where did you go/stay and how did you get on? I know some have the set ups to go bush for a while, but not all can do that or you're not in the right location. So tell us your hints, tips, ideas and practical solutions. Thanks.

I recently added 2maxtrax to the roof of my car and I just got back from my 1st trip with them (used them to get someone else out of being bogged in the sand) and now the alarm on my car keeps going off.
