150mm piece of 20mm dowel with a 6mm rod fitted in the end protruding by 25mm and you have a handy lever for nipping up T nuts on annexe and tent poles.

I presume this works for you, I've never had any luck with citronella candles outside so am happy to find a non toxic way to keep bugs away

One of my favourite little tips or Mods, was getting a storage pocket sewed onto my wheel covers, great for putting the annex floor in and wet hoses etc..

[wilson79]

Another great for summer tip, get two wall fans mounted back to back on a piece of timber and hook it onto you tent bows.. when camping at powered sites these are great for summer nights..

I also made up a bracket that I can clamp onto my outside Annex poles which allows me to also put these fans outside if it is a hot still day..

would work ok with 2x 12v fans with ciggy plugs on the end...

[wilson79]

nah 12v fans don't push the amount of air these buggers do.. when I was living in NQ they were awesome..

I have some 12 v ones fro free camping but much smaller ones just the $30.00 ones from Supercheap though..

That is a good idea

Make sure that you shut all hatches and compartments... it's tiring for the caravan park staff to chase after people when they haven't shut them...



(Just done the 100m for the first time in a very long time chasing someone who'd left the battery hatch open on their motorhome... luckily another guest was driving out and caught them at the end of the road for me!)

Wonder if the glass from our war game Vegimite jar Molotov cocktails  still litter the side of  that drive way  ...  Had some epic battles in and around that park

[Fizzie]

Had this come through the e-mail earlier on, so thought I'd share

Pretty basic, & some of them are obvious, but never hurts to have some suggestions on things to check, or watch out for!

I tried something similar on our deck and found the spray range too limited. Perfect for a camper, though.
Coverage was also affected by air currents/breeze.

Am now using two, citronella fuelled hurricane lamps. We don't have a severe bitey problem, though.
