I notice the latest story on the front of the site is about Sheep Dog Trials and the fact the Grey Nomads are starting to get involved with their own dogs and winning. When I was a kid and would go to the A.P & I Shows I would spend hours watching the sheep dog trials. Had family who used to event in them. St...

Have just realised our van wont be used for 3 months, and wonder if we should empty the water tank, or put something in to stop it going "off"? I dont think, if we try to empty it, that all the water will drain out, leaving just a bit in the bottom to become yucky. What do others do to keep their wate...

I read in another forum the usage is reduced wh...
