The Saga of the Freezer Door!


Hi Everyone - Happy Easter!

Not sure if you can contribute some quirky prose here or not, but this one that I wrote just has to be shared.



To the best of my knowledge, every van has a fridge
No kidding!!! that's ridgy didge
You bung on the power, let it chill down
The temp takes a dive - you beauty, no need for a frown

Now I've never been known
To be accident prone
But on attempting to open the freezer door
The bloody thing ended up on the floor!

We thought new hinge fittings were the way to go
Was a little shocked they cost so much dough
Can't be this simple now I ask you
Not likely - need a new freezer door too

Of course the caravan repair man didn't have one
So down to the suppliers faster than a smkin' gun
Damn & bother, couldn't get it to fit
Thought 'imself would crack a sh..

Then on the morning of our departure, the repair man agreed to call by
Took him 3 goes to fit it - and we gave a collective sigh
We hurriedly hooked everything up, and off we tore
And that is how we arrived late - all because of the freezer door!

The poetic picture you painted is indicative of many issues with van parts and repairs.
Keep up the good literary efforts. Brought a smile to my dial, and I've been writing all day.
Safe travels.

Hi ... Loved your poem. 

Have experienced the freezer door problem a couple of times ... largely my own fault by pulling the door down past the horizontal.  I have learn't how to fit & tension the new spring & bracket ... even found out that there is a RH & a LH spring .. I think the RH one is painted green  .. or is that the LH one?  or is it blue?

I must have struck a good agent because they gave me a hand written guide for the installation process & the bits were reasonably cheep.

Excellent thanks Martin ...  I put a copy of that away in my caravan technical file for reference the next time I bust the door.
