Old Blokes and Stabiliser Legs
(Preview)
my Alko stabiliser legs are deep under my caravan on the chassis. Winding them up and down is no problem (no rattle gun required), but getting down and under to pull the red handle to lower/raise the legs to the required angle is quite an exhausting task for this old bloke and his sore back.

New Old stock?
(Preview)
Why would a caravan dealer still have so many new 2018 model vans on the lot in 2020? Perhaps I am getting old a cynical but I smell a rat!

(Preview)
Last Saturday 11:30 am 22/02/2020 I was traveling west along the Gatton bypass on the speed limit [100 kph]and I was overtaken by two idiots in 4x4`s towing caravans. I have it on dash cam and I estimate they were doing at least 110 - 115 kph. If these people are on this forum, you are bloody idiots.

Forward or Rear facing door?
(Preview)
Should the door on a van have the handle on the left or right? My understanding is that if the door was not shut properly, a RHS handle door would blow back when travelling, whereas a LHS handle door would blow open if not shut properly. Some forward opening door interfere with the front window. Just ask...
