Writer: Helena Bergström

Do you have a generator, and if so, do you use it? We got a Honda generator when we bought our motorhome on Blocket in 2008. I would actually say that we use it very rarely.

This is so crazy, you just have to hear it! Do you remember that we used to get strange and nasty comments on the blog from a person who calls himself Anders (or sometimes Kalle)?

And sometimes you get a bit of a shock.
