Hi Can anyone tell me how to straighten up an awning that has been put onto our van and is crooked. Unfortunately we realised too late what the problem was and we can't return to the dealer who put it on for us. Looks like we're going to be doing it ourselves. We need to be able to slide it over about 1 inch wher...

Because of the soft rear of the vehicle, I would be interested to know "how many are towing with a WDH which is not authorised by Izuzu".

Yep, I know, a grump for sure but I have noticed heaps of things being posted here in "General" that really have nothing much to do with what this forum is about. Maybe I am wrong but a lot of these threads should be in "I Digress" DON'T YOU THINK Sorry to sound a grump all But I jus...
