As we haven't been to WA we thought...

Therefore every day, I go down the street and tell every passer by what I have eaten, how I feel, what I have done the night before, and what I will do after, I give them pictures of my family, my wife, my daughter...

I like many people use cable ties for various jobs around the Motorhome. trailer Etc. I just ripped a four inch gash down my arm having caught it on the cable tie where the excess was trimmed by a pair of side cutters. VERY Sharp. Luckily not too deep. Now I know to position the ties so as not to repeat that du...

Having recently installed a diesel heater, I was wondering if there is such a unit as a DIESEL COOLER for use in the summertime. We have a dometic A/C. but the noise factor is a real deterrent. We can run it via our genny when camping. What other sort of "cool air" devices are available for car...
