If someone is going to put a new cooker into their van you also need to check the approval number to see if it is approved for use inside a van or building etc.

I use an Android phone and an iPad but so far only...

Hi everyone
I'm into camping and 4wding so thought I would look into fossicking as a way of getting out there more often.
