Oh my God   If you think you've got problems now, just wait till you've been coming on this forum for just a few weeks   Campers on this forum are always recommending stuff which I'd otherwise never hear about - they cost me a blinkin' fortune & make packing the car a nightmare  

Well, now you're here, there's no escaping, you're hooked. Welcome to the mad house - sorry, I mean the forum
