"... except for fuel" ? You must have deep pockets to pay motorway prices, ET. I always research supermarkets at the various places I visit to locate cheap fuel. I never spend that long on the motorway network that i need to refuel on it.

Yep, CY. I have deep pockets
£400,000 in savings and more coming in than going out. Get OAP in November as well.
Fuel is a small part of costs IMO. However usually only but fuel on the way up into Scotland. Don't like less than a quarter tank.

I usually put a wheel lock on similar to this...

- it only takes a few seconds to install and is worth it for peace of mind.

Posted on 24/07/2017 20:44 by brueIt's not just leaving a van, if you're off on holiday the contents are more at risk so worth looking after on busy services.
By the way leaving two versions of this discussion is very confusing, we seem to have a lot of duplications appearing.
