Our newly purchased 2nd hand van has done some bush work in the past and obviously the rolled up awning has brushed trees etc which has caused a row of about 1metre of small holes about 100m from the top of the awning which in heavy rain...

Saw this vintage car towing what looked like a home made caravan. Sadly, I couldn't get a good photo of the whole set-up. The 'van looked like a 2 axle trailer with cooler room walls, a fold out section & storage boxes fore & aft of the wheels. Not a great shot. Taken through the window gauze as it b...
