A little furniture polish on the rail makes pulling them easier without popping them out.

The other week we moved the van around on the drive to fill it up for a boot sale early start. Left it plugged in.
Early Sunday remembered to unplug it and left the cable on the drive. Didn't realise it had freakish wrapped around the rear tow bar. 2 miles later it was pointed out that we were towing a cable reel behind us. Obviously ruined but it had disengaged nicely from the socket so no damage at the house. Gutted though.

So, who's going to start the ball rolling?
Not you then? :)

But on the subject of blinds I think they are all fitted upside down. On ours, and I think every other, the solid blind comes from the bottom and the net blind from the top. For shading out the sun it should be the other way round. I keep meaning to see if they can be inverted - but I won't try that while we are away! Not a good time to break them.

Pulled one of the three point plugs clean off the wall and the element has gone in our Truma boiler - there is always something!

Our van has curtains AND blinds. Seems pointless to me. I think the curtains are about to come down...

Val took our net curtains down last year to wash them, once cleaned, we bagged them up and put them in an overhead locker thinking "we'll rehang these when we have a spare 5 minutes next time we're away" They're still in the locker, think we should just bin them as we have the blinds too. Mind, net curtains do have a certain charm when you're sitting behind them watching tuggers putting up an awning :LOL:

Always - off and on
Thanks for the link @Techno I thought we would have trouble getting one but popped into Dyce Caravans and they asked how many I wanted - apparently break very easily, 1st time for ours - cost £12.50. We were away but only had a couple of things in the freezer.

Edit to say that despite trying I still haven't managed to get a replacement tiny light for the fridge.

They must be fitted wrong as Mine are the other way up ? There is no reason on my seitz ones which way round they can be fitted.

Oh & broke a melon in the MH.Or it broke itself.:cry:
