House was auctioned last Saturday. Got less than we would have liked but more than we expected 9 months ago so I guess that breaks pretty easy. Settlement date on 11/12, tug already purchased (still trying to sell the Falcon) van due 15/12 and got a work contract until 20/12 so I hope everything starts w...

Hi We have just bought a 2006 Geist XK 535 caravan which we will take over early November. It has a 12 pin flat plug connector to the car. Can anyone tell me if the Geist uses the 5 heavy duty pins for things like charging the van's battery and running the fridge on 12 volts? Also, do I need a motorised mover...

As we get into the nitty gritty of packing up the remnants ready for a full-time life on the road, we are debating whether we should keep our china plates, bowls etc, or shift to melamine? I like the idea of melamine because it packs down small, but was wondering what experienced travellers have found t...

The time has come for us to upgrade to a LandCrusier diesel auto. with towing capacity 3500kgs. Have spent time scanning the internet, but a little confused re all the info.

Read an interesting newsletter from a friend today. They have been in Broome for five years and they say tourism has gone downhill over those 5 years. Shops are closing. Economic downturn because the gas people are not allowed. Maybe there will be some spots in those caravan parks for everyone now.

Yes, the new motor has arrived in Port Augusta today. Workshop have already started on installation, so should be on our way by early next week at least. Motor comes with two year or 40,000km guarantee, so that's good. Maybe I should rename the cruiser Black Beauty. -- Edited by Kiwi-as on Thursday 10...
