WATER PRESSURE VALVE MAINTENANCE

I’ m going to make a bit of a controversial call. Generation X, specifically those of us born between 1965 and 1980, are the luckiest generation of all. We grew up listening to the best music. We watched the greatest movies and we were the first to live the digital age. But the best part about being a Gen Xer is that we were raised by the most awesome parents. The Baby Boomers. These guys grew up out of the ashes of World War II. They were smart, resourceful and fiercely independent. When they needed something done, they generally did it themselves.

My father, in particular, is what you would call the ultimate handyman. He literally taught himself to be a Jack of all trades. He could build stuff, and he could fix just about anything. More importantly, he tried his best to pass on those skills to me. Now, I would never suggest I could ever do as much as he could, or do anything as well as he did, but I learnt enough to have the confidence to give just about anything a go.

Today, as a long-time caravanner, the skills and confidence I got from my dad have saved me time and money while travelling.
