Also in the same flyer are solar mat kits, 2200W generators, portable fridge freezers, plus other camping items. I haven't seen the batteries on sale by Aldi bef...

As you will no doubt recall, I managed to break the pin from the power inlet on my van as a result of the power cord refusing to let go. I returned to my van yesterday and met with the electrician. It turned out just as predicted by the wise men of the forum. Firstly, the part was readily available. The job too...

We can have a bomb attack, an attack with guns, arrows, spears or clubs. This we would treat as a declaration of war. What about a laser attack or ---- a cyber attack, just because the means of delivery has changed, does that change its purpose? I ask if this continues, at what stage are we going to say enou...

All set for first long trip solo and have done some research, but have had warnings about 'unsavoury' types scouring some parks and campsites. Albany was a particular mention. I have a lockable Trayon slide on with solar, but it wouldn't be difficult to get into when set up with the annexe (as I intend t...

has anyone replaced the original half moon door and drawere handles in a lotus caravan if so what did you use.

However, the fire was far too much for the department to handle on their own so someone suggested that a nearby volunteer group be called to action. Despite some doubt that the volunteers would be of any assistance,...
