SHOCK ABSORBERS ON A DUAL AXLE LEAF SPRING CARAVAN
(Preview)
Following a broken spring recently, after travelling on some fairly rough roads in my 2013 Retreat Brampton, I feel it a good idea to add shock absorbers to the multiple leaf springs. Seems a good improvement to me that can only help.? But maybe there is a reason it was not done in the first place other th...

We always put them on an angle because; a) back in the 1980's our family caravan had wind down legs which slowly rotated to make an angle with the ground, and b) the dea...

Latest podcast concerning Wrong Place Wrong Time

What a frightening ordeal to have to go through! This is a fascinating podcast of a couple's ordeal with hoons at a campsite. You must listen to it! The only problem I have with the podcast is the quietness of the host compared to the loudness of the guest speakers.
