They're tipping that if you're under the car and using them not as intended and they fail - you won't be in any position to call them out on the advertised specs

I like the caravan lights they have for $150, bloody dreaming. Here's a tip get Christmas solar powered robe lights for about $20-30.

The Caravan cover are dirt cheap. Colman covers are about $400, lucky I picked mine up for $180........oh yeah!!

I bought a 6kg CO2 cylinder and hoses and adapters to hack my Soda Stream so I can stop paying $20 to swap the gas bottle over every other week

Is that cool?

Potentially, but it all screams 'tightarse' to me for some reason.

Trying to hack a device to make cheap soft drinks because don't want to buy regular, full-price soft drinks or pay to swap the gas bottle each... week? So that's a fair bit of carbonated drink getting consumed. Even in a family situation that can't be healthy.

Now it all screams 'hypocrite' back at me for some reason!

Details on hoses?

Now I've been called out - I tried to make it sound technical and like I did something awesome whe all I did was buy one of these :(

YOU DON'T KNOW ME.........

Seriously though - I bought the soda stream when there were a fair few teenagers living in the house. It worked beautifully - when they actually have to work it themselves, clean their own bottles and take ownership I found that "soft drink" consumption dropped by a huge amount. Usually any soft drink I bought was opened, half shared then left in the fridge (or round the house) and a new bottle opened because the last one was flat. Now there's never anything that isn't drunk, rinsed, refilled and put back in the fridge.

Personally - I love tonic water, ginger beer, soda water and also lime and creamy soda - but not every day. And not enough to have a bottle of each in the fridge at all times fresh and waiting for me - especially not with kids in the house that are more than likely than not to have poured a glass and left the top off.

This way I can drink soda water all day (which I wouldn't do with tap water) and have a glass of whatever other flavour takes my fancy whenever I want.

swap the gas bottle each... week?

Bingo - the bottles don't have a fuel gauge on them (yeah - they may last 3 weeks or more, but when they run out it's usually inconvenient, plus they start to go "flat" for the last bit)

can't be healthy

Lets me drink as much soda water as I want, the mixes are a hell of a lot better than coke or any other soft drink and also limits what the kids drink by forcing them to manually participate

tightarse

I went the top of the line Soda Stream (don't have to screw the bottles in each time) and just bought a 6kg CO2 bottle and adapter - honestly, it would have been far cheaper (short term) to have just continued on as we were going.

Now it all screams 'hypocrite' back at me for some reason!

You really, really like trying to stir things up don't you ;P

Can't remember what you drive, any advice you've given nor any questions you've asked - all I can recall of your posts are semi argumentative jibes and cheap, provocative jabs - some I like, some I don't and others that just make me wonder what your deal is.

Keep it up doge - it's working so far

That last 'hypocrite' sentence was actually aimed self-deprecatingly at myself, but I can see how you might've thought otherwise.

My deal is... yeah, being a sh*tstirring little c*nt. No doubt. But you've explained yourself more than well enough, so I'm content with your response.
