Writing, recording and releasing music from a van… in the woods

Berlin by campervan: my back garden is a huge abandoned airfield

The fridge in my van broke. Here’s how I fixed my Waeco CDF-18
Having a fridge in my van-home is essential, just like it is in a house-home. But it’s one of those things we don’t fully appreciate it until it breaks. And sometimes… they break. It’s why I reckon, with appliances like this, it’s usually worth getting something that is good quality. Waeco are known to make some […]
