Trailermate
(Preview)
Hi, have a question. Can you use the trailermate to jack up the side of the caravan to change a tyre? Or is it just for jockey wheel or stand at front of van? Thanks -- Edited by the rocket on Wednesday 16th of September 2020 05:25:52 PM

Carbon Monoxide Danger

There goes the neighbourhood

Enjoying the peace and quiet on a station north of White cliffs - well, except for the buzz of the blowies, when a couple of 4wds towing camper trailers rolled in. Loud 4-way conversation deciding where to set up camp, and then one considerate chap got out his battery powered leaf blower and spent 10 m...

No Social distance anymore in supermarkets
(Preview)
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....
