Fridge Is Freezing Up
(Preview)
We have a 150ltr Dometic Tropicalised 3 way fridge. In up to 33 degree ambient temperatures, on gas or 240 volts, the fridge goes as low as -4 degrees. This occours on settings of 4 and above. We are currently in Karrartha WA. Anyone else had this problem? The fridge is defrosted regularly. Regards

Those GPS thingies...
(Preview)
Travelling all over in our little van, we found ourselves at Millmerran Qld. Next stop was to be Esk. Wanting to miss the heart of Toowoomba, we placed our trust in our TomTom GPS. Good heavens! If anyone is in the area and you want the ultimate challenge, try punching Millmerran to Esk into your GPS....
