Gday Gang Like most nomads we love watching TV (not to adds or reality crap). One of the best things we did to satisfy this habit was a device called chromecast.

Hi all, a friend has just purchased a 2nd hand caravan and has been given some paint/sealant by another friend. This 'paint' is meant to be a sealant and a type of insulation but I have no idea what it is or the name. I will find out eventually.

I tow a trailer behind a motorcycle which I lock together using a heavy duty padlock via the safety chain. It will not stop someone who is determi...
