I was wondering which is most vunerable to theft, caravan, motorhome, 5th wheelers or slide on. Caravans can be hitched to any tow ball, cars and trucks are stolen daily, slideons would need a right size flatbed plus anchor points and 5th wheelers a special hitch Any thoughts on how to protect our 2nd...

Hi everybody. I just wanted to let you know that I have deleted the string entitled ‘Burning the flag’. I understand this is an important issue and one which has provoked strong reactions.

Saw his interview on the news, last service next Sunday, then he heads out into the unknown he said. Would love to have him at a happy hour or around the bonfire telling stories. He's quite a character.

Jimbo said in the weekly mailbag that he wouldn't get in one in case they crashed. Well, I have to say I've been in one - my daughter bought me a flight for my birthday a few years ago. They are expensive, about $400 but well worth it. The company I went with - Balloon Sunrise - were very safety conscious, co...

Well we are now back at the Karinyup Waters Resort. Warm and a bit muggy today, even had a few beads of sweat while setting up the annex. The pool was a welcome intelude for about an hour.

Hope all our Grey Nomad friends are staying dry and safe with all the rain in SE Qld and NSW at the moment - seems to be getting more widespread. Friends went down the coast - may get stuck there - Pacific Motorway got water over the road in some spots. Take lots of care.

I have just recieved my latest Caravan and Motor home magazine and to my distress I read that in Townsville there is a depressed Wombat who is needing lots of cuddles and attention, has anybody seen Wombat recently because this could be contagous and we would miss him terribly

Ted rang the number on the warrantee on Tuesday and faxed them the information. Today(Friday) we had...

In one of the earlier posts someone was mentioning difficulties in undoing wheel nuts because they were too tight. If you have a look in your maintenance handbook, it should give you the torque tension for your wheel nuts, i.e. Nissan Navara D40 - 83ft/lb. We deal with a Tyrepower dealer who torques m...
