I just had a look at 'Show us your rig' again and it struck me how all welcoming this forum is. One post shows a great Kombi set up, another a big new American 5th wheeler and another a coaster. Throw in there the brand new caravans, the motor homes and the well-loved second hand vans and we have a great mixt...

Why is it that unpacking the van and cleaning it out, takes sooo much longer than packing?

Housework was a woman's job, but one evening, Janice arrived home from work to find the children bathed, one load of laundry in the washer and another in the dryer. Dinner was on the stove, and the table set. She was astonished! It turns out that Dave had read an article that said, 'Wives who w...
