We are in W.A and our son has a viscount regent ultra lite pop top van. Sadly thru winter some moisture got into top of van. Anyone know of someone who may have a trashed body but reasonable top that we could replace....or where we could go to have repaired. thanks

I've lived in many places in my time but outside of where I was born and raised, there was only one that really felt like home. So I'm wondering if any GNs who've been on the road for a few years ever get to feel that way about their rig - that "no place like home" feeling.

Yep after a battle getting through gale force winds, heavy rain and car park like traffic in Melbourne City the Tug and Avan have made it home. I arrived at Greens Lake to join in all the fun and games. The welcoming committee was out in force too when I arrive I might add. I'd like to think it was to welcome m...

It rained for most of yesterday, here at Greens Lake, and the day has started with rain again today!!! Very sad - but hopefully it will disappear by the end of the day. Still quite a few camped up here, so don't stay away because of a bit of rain - as the farmers say - we love it!!!!!!

On the way through to Greens Lake, Central Vic. yesterday. It was great to catch up with them again after many months.

Hi all, currently (and hopefully, briefly) in Brisbane, and read an article in today's Courier Mail, asking Grey Nomads to visit farmers in drought in western Qld to just drop in and say Hi! We are being recruited to help drought stricken farmers overcome mental health issues borne by their struggl...

I noticed a story in the GN mag about peak holiday seasons and crowded camp sites and caravan parks. So how do full-time travellers solve that little problem? Where do you hide from the families and schoolies during peak times as well as the exorbitant fees?

Made it to Melbourne OK. The new motor performed well, much better than the old one, with heaps more torque low down than the old one.

Hi all, we were within a couple of day away from getting a new 5th wheeler but have been thrown a curve ball. We have been told that because the door & awning is on the right hand side of the rv it is illegal in Aus., & that also a lot of Van parks will not allow these configurations in their parks. I s...

Was thinking about our caravan, and how we'd chosen the layout and fittings carefully, basing our choices on what we thought we'd need or want, and what we had learned from other's caravanner's comments. We wanted to be able to go off-road, into the bush, camp in remote places in comfort and safety. W...
