I have just got home from opening day of the Caravan and Camping show at Rosehill. Perfect weather, and big crowds.

Morning all. I am considering referring my latest issue to either NASA or the M.I.T. but thought I may respectfully ask the learned ones on the forum for their view(s). When going out the other day I was unable to lock the door on the van. The lock works ok if just opening or closing the door but it would not...
