I'm looking at awnings for my Mazda T3500, so far the Fiamma 45s 4m looks the goods to me. Any other suggestions/recommendations before I shell out that much coin?

Going to have to get a new email address, and this means apparently I have to close my present address and be issued with a new one. The spam mail is getting out of hand, and seems that it will never stop. The mistake I have made is using my primary email address for general use, and so I can't just change it at...

A lot of posts I don't want to read, so I check the "Mark all as read" box, but next session the posts all come up as unread again, except for those that I have opened. Is this normal? It would certainly tidy up my page if that button worked for me.

On our last trip on the outward journey I towed our van 160kms under highway conditions at between 90KPH and 100KPH with no detectable sideways motion. On the return trip a few times the sway was so noticeable I had to slow down to control it (both ways there was little or no crosswind). The only differen...

First off, the meal ( fish & chips ) was served up on a chopping board, "Yep" they can't afford a plate any longer...

Sure makes life a lot easier than lifting a heavy bladder up and using a funnel. The problem is I had to empty the water bladder into a bucket first as the pump wouldn't fit into the bladd...
