Re: Cabin Heaters: Which is Best and Why?

So... we do NOT need heat on our boat - we have no intention of ever leaving the tropics in it! BUT, at the moment we're in the UK and travelling a lot in the campervan. And it's winter here. And...

Re: Tips for rebuilding a fridge from the top

One thing I would do is cut the top wider. We built our fridges from scratch. We made them top opening. The openings were the size of the entire worktop, and it is so much easier to access than...

Re: Considering Crossing Over to the "Dark Side"

That doesn't make it right - we see that the whole time and simply don't understand it.

Re: Foam Bed in a Box?

Well then... on the boat we did all the research, used 5cm firm foam with a 2cm soft layer on top for comfort, then had fitted covers made with velcro for easy removal (zips just break and stick). ...
