Hooked the van up to power this weekend to make sure all was good. Checked the next day and the fridge, set at low, was running at -4c. The bench over the fridge was warm to touch. The fridge is a 3 way, probably 23 years old. Any ideas? Hendo

We decided to change the colouring so we got a range of waterproof markers and changed their presentation . Using a dark blue marker down each side of the spine turned it into a pillie which int...

Yep, major alright. Just south of Gympie for quite a few KM and I tell you that for free. No problem though as everyone was getting through just a little slower, down to 70kmh with a couple of short spots 60kmh. Also and as well even around the Byron Bay turn off NSW, again no problems. It will all be great...
