Overweight rigs
(Preview)
We had our heart set on an "off-road" caravan till we learned how heavy most of them were. Mr D loves his Prado and wasnt willing to swap it for a tug with greater towing capacity, so we chose a lighter (and less off-road capable) caravan. At a roadside rest stop yesterday, we met a couple of pe...

Have decided to head home in the morning. After a very sleepless night, one in which the dog killed in a mouse in my grandaughters bedroom and I flushed it down the loo, I came to the realisation I have to get Myrtle right before I do anymore tripping. Do all the things that should have been done, new in hous...

Are we all going Auto?
(Preview)
Personally, I wouldn't drive anything else. Seems that the trend is towards automatic rather than manual cars though. Our tug is a Rodeo 4x4 Diesel Auto, and very happy with the choice. I spent a few years living in the U.S.A, and was a member of a fishing club. Everyone had a 4x4 and not one of them wa...
