Default Re: The Camping Thread

Yep, first thing I would do is erect the tent tight in your back yard and go over it with a good roller with a canvas water proofing.
Any BCF/Camping store can advise. I have a tented camper trailer, had it for yonks, and two years ago I found water seeping through in large patches. So I used a spray pack water proofer and found I needed lots of the stuff. So went the roller and roller pail and had heaps of sucess - cheaper. I also used a small 2 inch brush on the seams.
Another thing, for summer camping I put up a large silver backed tarp over the whole thing to reduce heat inside during the day. Also very handy in a very wet camp, these can be had quite cheap.

While the basic Ford Six was code named Barra, the Turbo version clearly deserved its very own moniker – again enter Gordon Barfield.
We asked him if the engine had actually been called “Seagull” and how that came about.
“Actually it was just call “Gull”, because I named it that. Because we knew it was going to poo on everything”.
