Although we've not had to use it yet, that nice Mr Frantone donated this:-

We carry it with us when touring.
Have you thought of using one A?

I dismissed one due to costas swelling up when hank cranking the sewing machine!!, cranking a caravan would cause a lot of words I shouldn't use due to costas, but a brilliant idea thanks for sharing.

Your Spanish coastal areas/coffee shops/Italian cruise liners swell up? Please explain otherwise I won't be able to sleep tonight.

I call it costas easier to say and spell, but its actually costochondritis. pain can make you use words not meant to be spoken loud in polite company.

Many thanks for the explanation, Amanda, it really was puzzling me.

I guessed at the chest wall because the muscles between the ribs are the intercostals but I though, nah, it's probably a euphemism for something lady-specific. Phew, what a relief.

I've been building a stud wall and installing ceiling insulation today and now because of all the bending and stretching I've got aches in places where I didn't think aching was possible.

Apart from retirement, getting old doesn't have a lot to recommend it!

tend to give pet names to the issues, and forget to write them all properly..
if your still suffering try the cream with the pain relief in,

some friends who retired say they are busier now than when they were working..

Just spotted the questions. Yes fairly straightforward but definitely needs patience and much spanner repositioning! Finished off with a dab of blue-grade thread-lock. Will put everything to the test when we manouevre Emile up the driveway later this month before we head off to France & Spain. Will also whilst it is the drive file away some of the plastic shroud to give more clearance and also do something with the crack in the shround that occured when the jockey wheel (2-bolt clamp) collapsed in Spain in June.

surely if the jockey collapsed and cracked the surround that's a warranty claim even if you fixed the jockey wheel to keep you on travels. I would perhaps email jandi or Jason and ask

My dealer put forward a claim to Hymer for just such a crack and had it accepted. At least with the Jockey Wheel saga you'll have a better tale than me to tell which was that the thing simply cracked by road vibration.
