Hi, I'm thinking of taking up the grey nomad lifestyle in 2012 but am concerned that it might be a bit lonely. I'd like to do a lot of bush camping but wouldn't want to be way off in the middle of nowhere on my own. I'm wondering if there are many women out there travelling around on their own and if you eve...

Righti ho I've spent a week in this venerable old lady. And she is very comfy and well fitted out. I've decided on two major expenditures - first to have gas struts fixed which will cost roughly $400 and secondly to have a new poptop skirt which i had a discounted quote for $900. Both quotes are very reason...

She has a good 12v system, a new TV antenna, a fairly new awning, microwave (which I think I'll give away), good tyres, new spare, and the bearings w...

Was heading up to the city to look at it tomorrow when I got a call to say it had been sold. What a let down. It's not good being 4 hrs drive from the metro...
