Hello Nomads
(Preview)
Just joined this forum. Happy to learn some stuff and offer an occasional comment. We had an Expanda in 2013 to 2016. Now with a Jayco Journey Outback DX Pop Up since late 2018, still pretty green compared to some here.

Fridge

Hi to all, new couple thanks for having us, needing advice... I need to place a 60ltr fridge in the rear of a new DMAX and need some clever people to advise on what soft cover to use so as to allow the fridge to breath. No cover at the moment so can go any way. Thanks.

In the early 2000's we relocated to the UK with the intention of staying for 6 months. Twelve years later we came back...
