I like the Pythons, mine will go Nik, Nik, Nik, Nik.............................................................................because I don't conform.

No pics, it's a Kayak only room for my bum and a paddle this time....besides didn't know what it was at first, it was bigger than me so paddle was at hand in case I needed some speed...........there's Crocs around you know, I've seen the sign that says so and our NP fellas wouldn't be wrong.

Saw in a Van review this very nice rig, heaps of dollars for an 18ft, tare 2000kg, ball 185kg with an ATR of 2400kg...........left me wondering where you put the food once you fill the gas bottles and water tanks ??????

That's no problem as you probably can't afford food anyway after getting a new van...drink, though, is another matter.

For interest, what was it? Or have I missed the link?

So, don't you watch some of the travel shows where they are towing the vans and when you see inside it looks lie it is off the showroom floor? Saw it on Discover Down under on the weekend!

There is no extra weight on those because they do not carry anything!

Hi @Drover,
if you can afford to spend heaps of dollars on this, and another heap on towing it, why would you need to carry food. Wouldn't they eat out all the time in nice restaurants.

cheers

Hey @Bluey it was a Snowy River SR17 but my fig were wrong, tare 2000kg, ball 165kg and ATM 2300kg, doesn't work for me. Caravan and motorhome issue 246.

 

[Drover]

Dear God,
I have been very good today, no grumpy thoughts, no swearing, no smacking people in the head and no whining at all. But I'm about to get out of bed now, so may need your help with the rest of the day..
Thank you.

[Dobbie]

Ah. An inspiration!

I might just try the same approach.....

 

[bigcol]

is this the one @Drover ...............

 

[Drover]

Yep, right down to the spelling mistake that I wasn't going to repeat......you think if the originator was so wise he could at least spell.

 

[bigcol]

you know the thing that gets me

you should always replace your bed every 5-7 years, and your pillows every second year

my first Queen bed was second hand when I brought it
and I had it for another 15 years

if they made them like they used to, you wouldnt need to replace them

 

[Dobbie]

Our latest pillows came with a date stamp and a date for them to be replaced.

I'd never seen that before....is it usual!

Maybe mattresses should have the same.

I'm still cringing from a demo I took my Mum to years ago...Wenatex I think the company was called....and they spent hours showing how many dust mites live in a normal bed and pillows. Yuk!

 

[bigcol]

I have seen this new fangled thingy at a bedding place - my son was thinking of buying a new bed
you lay on it, and it takes weight measurements
then turn on your left side, then right side, again doing measurements

then it spits out what sort of mattress you need

funny how they are always the most expensive mattresses though

 

[Drover]

Bahahahahaha
