how often do you change your tyres on your motorhome/spaceship? we just changed the fronts as they were fully worn out even tho we'd only had done 16000 ks , we were supposed to change at 10oooks, but no one told us.. backs are ok.. so much to learn in these space ships... -- Edited by milo on Friday 7th of...

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...

As you know from the Nullabor thread I have arrived in Esperance where I have booked in to Bushlands Holiday Village Camp6 40. I was able to get 7 nights for 6 at $20 per night and then when offered cash I was able to get another $20 off. Sold off my surplus items that were taking up space especially the bike w...

Hi all, I have just finished a minor reno in my new Avan camper, I found in my mini trips (3 now) that I didn't use the small table at front and could have done with a little more bench space SO after a little thought and sitting on the bed at the back looking to the front thinking about it I decided to take out t...

Can't believe that I have internet here.Arrived here at about lunch time on Friday and looked at the notice board to see what I could do this afternoon but the shortest walk nominated was to Hellfire Beach and suggested 3 hours hard walking each way. Looks like a walk for tomorrow morning, didn't like t...

G'day all I took the plunge and have bought a ripper of a van. She's an oldie but solid and reliable and in good nick. A 1884 Viscount, 15 ft poptop no leaks. 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...

Thankyou all for your kind comments. I really enjoy looking through Grey Nomad site and will be looking around for the Grey Nomad book and Camps 6.

In his Esperance thread, yeoeleven notes the annual concession pass available to national parks in WA at $50 for a year. I have just renewed mine, as I find it excellent value. Is a similar arrangement available in other States? Would be very useful on a long trip, but on my last visit to Sydney (co...

Thought I'd found the perfect van - an oldie but well looked after with a little solar system and set up for free camping and priced well below my top budget. 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...
