Save Money with Aqua Kem Green.

I recently went to purchase a 2 Litre container of Thetford Aqua Kem Green portable toilet additive from BCF in Sydney and found that it was $26.66. I think that is too high a price to pay for this product.

I decided to do a search on eBay and was fortunate to come across the seller called parksidetowbars1 who was offering 6 x 2 Litres of this waste tank chemical for $99 with free postage. The saving is $60.99 over a 6 bottle purchase at the retail price.

I personally prefer to use the Thetford Aqua Kem Green as in my experience it works very well and is environmentally friendly.

If you wish to make a similar purchase on eBay just click here.

As a disclaimer I wish to make it clear that I earn no commissions for promoting this eBay seller. I gave them five stars across all parameters because they delivered the goods on time as promised and in excellent condition.

Creating travel videos on the move.

I recently added a fascinating YouTube video to a page I created for Colac Caravan Parks.

The video was created by Nate whose YouTube channel is rndom8 and I wrote and asked him how he managed to fix the video camera to the front of his vehicle. Nate replied as follows:

“I use a mount that on one end has a thread that will screw into the base of my camera. The other end has a clamp which I attach to the safety bar on the dash, on the passenger side of my vehicle. You can also get suction mounts that you can attach to windows.

The camera mount that he uses the most is the ‘Ultra Mount for Lipstick Camera & POV RRMUC’ which he purchased from racerecall.com.

I attach it to the safety bar or Jesus bar on the passenger side of my 4WD.

If you need any more info let me know and I will try to help any way I can.”

You can see the video below. Nice work Nate!

Please tell us if you have set up something similar for your vehicle or caravan.

Picture High Quality Art in your Motorhome or Fifth Wheeler.

While it may not be feasible to hang high quality art in your caravan it could be a serious option for motorhomes or fifth wheelers.

We have recently added our first listing of art works on Caravan Park Photos by Narelle Telford from Northern NSW.

“Painting is my Passion!” says Narelle, “My paintings are a celebration of this wonderful earth. The emotional feelings I get from the subject matter are of prime importance to my finished work, creating the nuance, which results in a dynamic and shifting diversity. I usually work in a series, and my paintings are sometimes realistic, contemporary or abstract and often the interpretation of the subject matter can be left to the viewer”.

We would be interested to hear from anyone who has hung paintings in their mobile home.

Narelle will be holding an exhibition of her work at Lake Russell Gallery Sapphire NSW on Saturday 9th October from 3pm to 5pm. You are cordially invited to attend.
