The Four Hands in a Tin Can
crew's broken caravan sink.
BROKEN SINKS
Why do they make
deodorant bottles in
glass? Please stick to the
tin or plastic bottles, as they
do much less damage when they
fall from a cupboard onto the porcelain
sink in the bathroom.
You guess it, we shattered the van sink while in
Tasmania, which involved an entire day of driving
to the nearest big town and searching for a new
sink, the required fittings and a bit of plumbing
work to get it fixed. Nothing in caravans is
conventional! There are others who have had accidents, from
kids breaking bones that require surgery or back
braces, to the single mum who had to be flown
home with her child, her caravan and vehicle
towed to her home state, due to a serious break
and surgery.
ALL DISASTERS There are the caravan roll overs, the pet that
passes away and other life-altering moments that
happen to people on the road.
While we haven’t had any major disasters on the
road, we have met and kept in contact with a few
who have. We have met families who have had no
end of car troubles and who had to buy a new car
to continue their journeys.
We have met people who have had engines blow
up, turbos go, dirty fuel destroy their cars, and
without insurance and some money in the bank,
they would have been in a pickle.

The thing we remind ourselves is that we are
living a life many want to live, and no matter how
large the problem seems, it would still probably
present itself in some way in a house.
