How to recycle punctured rubber (?) dish washing gloves
(Preview)
Any ideas out there, or how to fix them once punctured? I had a brain wave the other day when yet another glove started taking in water (always the right hand grr). I started cutting the cuff and fingers straight across to make elastic bands. I thought it was an ingenious idea but maybe it has been around...

TRUCK WASH
(Preview)
Rod often has dirty and greasy clothes from working. I have found truck wash in the washing machine does wonders. We have a 5 litre container and you can use around about a 1/2 cup full if really dirty. Sometimes I do drop food down my front, it most be the those boobs that get in the way and I have used truck w...

A bit more static camp shade.
(Preview)
Hi all Im not sure this has been talked about before, if so I apologize to the OP. We have this wonderful shade we attach to the roof bars on our ute, stop for a cuppa, roll out the small awning and presto a cool place to sit and enjoy the bush. We spend a fair bit of the time in a static camp, thus this unit can fal...

Spreadable butter
(Preview)
I believe that butter is a healthier choice than margarine but it's just too hard to spread. Occasionally buy the spreadable butter that usually works out to over $6 for 500g, a lot to pay. A few weeks ago friends told us how they make their own spreadable butter. Buy block butter, let it go soft then whip...

Does your Fridge need defrosting
(Preview)
Was defrosting our Waeco fridge this morning and remembered the problem we had when we first started out. The fridge used to leak water from "somewhere" when travelling, onto the floor. I realised that it didn't defrost itself like the one at home, and if I keep defrosting it weekly there'...

Where to store your hitch bars without getting grease over things.
(Preview)
I've always had a problem of where to store the hitch bars without the ends getting grease over things when I get to the site. By reversing the bars the other way and hanging them just under the A frame on a sling solved the problem. If I'm in a area that could be a bit suspect I run the high tensile wire thro...

I'm in the process of fitting the new replacement microwave oven that Crusader Caravans sent me last week and I have discovered a bit of a panel (yellow area) that may be useful for something. It is easily accessible (now I have found a way to remove the "old" microwave) and as you can see powe...
