Re: Night travels- pro's & con's
We start looking for a night spot around the 2pm mark, have only travelled at night once and never again (very small road ) and we had no idea where we were going. Travel any and all days as one is just the same as any other. Try to avoid the public hols cuz the city nutters are on the loose. As for class dunno but we are big and comfortable (same as me)

Queen of the Banal & OT chatter and proud of it. If it offends you then tough titty titty bang bang.

I'd give you an A+, but you aren't towing - yet.Dot wrote: As for class dunno but we are big and comfortable (same as me)![]()
Experience is a wonderful thing. It helps you recognise a mistake when repeated.

Hi, all.
Day or night, if there's a semi in my mirrors, I try to indicate the road's clear as soon as possible, allow him (or her) to pull out, give the brakes a good nudge, then blink the headlights when his back axle is level with my bonnet. They all appreciate it.
Saw this one the other day - caravans are like kidneystones, a pain in the a... and b..... hard to pass.

See you on the back roads,

We did a night run to Kalgoorlie a few months ago, no trucks passed us, but the traffic coming the other way bothered me big time. I am sure they were all trying to run me off the road! Heaps of road trains.... Not an enjoyable run

Martin have you checked where your low beam is pointing? If they are a bit high then truckies in particular will hug the white line rather than hit the dirt.
I guess you already have them? but clearance lights on your mirrors usually help demand your piece of road too.
