Rattle Gun V Socket Adapter
Don posted about his intense dislike hearing rattle guns used to lower and raise stabiliser legs. His advice is to use a Drill with a socket adaptor, they have enough power. Rattle gun is for wheel nuts, not stabiliser legs.
Urban Caravan Group of Australia and NZ
Fiona posted: I’m not great with Google Maps and have led us to some pretty dodgy spots. Luckily my husband is very patient- he knows directions are not my forte …
Perfect photo
Ellen posted her brilliant photo of a beautiful morning along the Burnett River south of Bundaberg QLD

Velcro to the rescue
Debbie’s problem was the awning strap disappeared into the rolled up awning. Solution is to fix it to the awning support cradle with velcro
Warranty that worked!
Spin 146 brought this small Weber 35 years ago, after 30 years wrote to them as they have a lifetime warranty and ask them to replace the handles! No question they turn up by post. Still going strong and make a great fire pit.

Linking the Washing Line
Vivienne set up her Starlink Gen3 V4 and adapted a portable clothesline to mount the dish!

Here’s why we do it

Caravanning today!
Janeen posted We are in Rockingham WA and it has been raining non-stop all day so what better thing to do than bake bread and cook a stir fry for dinner.
Chain it
Peter decided it was better to be safe than sorry. He decided to make sure their water tank was secure by chaining it to the chassis. Great idea.
Caravanning Today!
Sally posted photos of their new van. Question was asked – where’s the stove? The induction cook top is in the top drawer, leaving so much clear bench space. That’s today’s caravanning.
Blind Fail
Mark posted: Anyone sourced new cord for their Ranger roof hatch blind? As you see mine is all tangled up and needs to be renewed? Answer was 60lb or 80lb fishing braid works.
Freezing Fridge
Tyler’s compressor keeps freezing up in hot weather? How to stop it? Several answers, all saying it needs to be regularly defrosted. If it’s hot outside, or high humidity, defrost more often.
New logo, same quality

More Mundi Mundi
Len and Sue enjoyed the Mundi Mundi Bash, as did a lot of other caravanners!
Easy Refurbishing
Bridgit wants to fix the fading decals on her 11 year old Nova. Tracey suggested get a fine paintbrush, some paint and repaint them. Cheaper than new decals and hers ‘came up awesome’.
Not RED!
Rob replaced this switch because the red light stopped working. HWS worked and heated to right temperature. What’s wrong. Suggestion was that the red light only comes on at ignition and then stops.
Teardrop Tent
Gail shared a photo of her Teardrop Caravan in it’s tent. Why the tent, it gives them somewhere to sit outside the van, some privacy and it’s great in the wet. What a great idea.
