Another family milestone
(Preview)
My 'little' brother is turning 50 on Monday. It feels a bit weird to me particularly because he was born on my 8th birthday. Our grandfather came up from Victoria to visit, which is the only time I ever remember seeing him. Mum had made my birthday cake, but hadn't yet iced it when she had to go to hospital....

Trumatic E2400 Gas Heating
(Preview)
Has anyone got one of these installed? www.truma.com.au ??? I saw it advertised and wondered if it would be suitable (and safe enough) to have in our small (11') van. In theory, it would be good being gas powered and 12 volt, but am interested in what others say. Thanks, Garry
