Have managed to get the kayak on top of car without damaging outselves Now, where and how do you store it (the kayak) at home? DH thought of making a pulley above the car in the garage.

I recall an article on this so wonder in the real world does it work? The article I read claimed a small LPG tank / injector installed in your 4WD gave better performance and importantly economy. Can anyone here confirm this? Cheers and thanks in advance. Steve

Qld caravan parks now a free app on iTunes and Android, only for the Ipad at the moment. A good map selection too. Slowly filling my Ipad up with camping apps and caravan pks, saves carrying all that paperwork around with you but you still have to have Wi Fi or 3g signal.

Following on from the Cobb versus the Dreampot thread, I was wondering if many travellers make use of a pressure cooker while on the road.
