The ones I was looking at were also caravan ramps.

All good.

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

Ill be first in line..........lol.

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!

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.

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)

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

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.

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.
