Computer printer in a caravan?
(Preview)
Does anyone have/keep/use a computer printer in their caravan? If so, did you choose it for any particular feature? Space, power consumption etc? A make and model would be useful too. If no one does, which I suspect is very possible, where do you print documents when travelling?

QUESTION FOR THOSE CARRYING KAYAKS

Hi We have just purchased a kayak approx. 3m and wondering if everyone uses kayak holders or is it ok to tie directly onto roof racks? Being a hobbit it is high enough to get it onto the bars let alone having to get it over a greater height. Also with what have you found the best to tie them down. Kim
