(Preview)
Can you stop at these for a shower and rest? Maybe even a nights sleep? While driving the truck I sometimes refuel at large BP servos and see plenty of trailers parked up waiting for a prime mover to hitch up and take it away. If it's ok for a long haul driver to use the facilities why not a caravan GN? Mos...

Can you use a gas BBQ on Fire Ban days?
(Preview)
Hi, Both Les and I have always wondered, but we were never sure if you can use a gas BBQ (like the Weber Q) when there is a fire ban for that day or season? I have heard you can't use an open flame, so open fires etc are out, but I'm not sure about gas BBQs. We have a Weber Q to take with us when we want to BBQ. Also whi...
