So the van we went to see had, its `Dometic` fridge explode causing a bit of a well …hole.
The whole side will have to come off the owner was told by dealers so was compensated by the insurance.
So we have a very good look over it, given the keys to test drive it ,and by a handshake a deal is struck.
