Fold out double steps using just one step
(Preview)
I am enquiring about the fixed bolt on double steps at the van entry door. I am wanting to know if a set of these double steps exist where you have the choice of opening out just the first step rather than both steps every time. This would be very handy on sloping sites.

Flick mixer tap
(Preview)
I have a Smev cooktop and stove combo in my van. The flick mixer tap has started leaking and in my opinion needs replacing. The question is can I replace it with one purchased from Bunnings provided its the same diameter hole or do I have to go via a caravan parts supplier.
