I would like to ad a checkerplate box to the the very solid rear bumper of my Goldstream RV Offroader to carry a Baby Webber. The van came with two steel gerry can holders on the rear and was thinking of removing one of those. The box I have would not extend past the spare wheel that is already on the bumper. ...

hi, am thinking of changing to pegs that you use a hammer drill to put in. Anyone have an opinion on this type of peg. They need to hold down an annexe in strong WA winds.

On our weekly shop this morning social distance was almost ignored, or very few did it. Just push through,stand beside you or right behind. Now our area in Lavington has no new cases in almost 2 months, but can see 7-10 cars at the local test station for most of the day. I am not getting the attitude at all....

Has anyone found a hand held, rechargeable vacuum cleaner that works well in picking up dog hair off fabric? For use in caravan, car and at home.

Shortly I have to go into 14 days lock down at the WA border. I am lining up jobs to be done on the van. One of the jobs I want to do, is to cure the difficulty in filling the rear water tank. I think the problem lies in the fact that the breather line has dips in it, forming "P" traps. I am intending to re-route the...
