Looked through the current BCF brochure and they had a page for Waeco fridges. The CFX50 is now $1449.00 The cost of these fridges has gone through the roof - or have I been in a timewarp? Maybe I have, as they now come with a USB, right next to the wifi to remotely adjust the temperature. I used to just wor...

Hello all - read somewhere that you can use wool wash for your clothes and no rinsing required - is this correct? Also if you didn't rinse wouldn't there be a build of detergent. Thank you for your help in advance. Have a happy day.

we have just received our insurance renewal for our van $690 for the year with RAA , this supposedly has a discount also. Van valued around $60,000 Would you say this is expensive, seems a lot to us. Any suggestions of another insurer to approach or would you say this is about what we should expect
