Now that I have backed
off the retail
selling pace a lot,
I will be concentrating
more on updating and writing more of my-
'Technical and not so technical information' articles,
these have become surprisingly
popular!
(I'm
real
chuffed, thank you for all your kind words and encouragement folks)

Now the ebay
Store information!
I
am
offering through my ebay
store a few
select quality
products.
With some exclusive
deals that you can only get through me.
.
.
I opened the ebay
store to help
make the
whole purchasing
procedure,
so much easer and simpler for
both YOU and me.
The ebay
store, really
does make
it easy to select and buy an item.
Now I know some folks may not like ebay,
and don't trust it,
and
you may have heard
some fearful stories
about ebay,
and that some people got
ripped off!
No
doubt
about it, some of those stories are true!
However
please
remember that in this case you will be buying directly from me here at Fridge
& Solar,
and I'm based right
here in
Oz, on Queensland's
Gold
Coast (Labrador).
If
you don't
know who I am, my name is at the bottom of every
page,
and my home address can be easily found in the phone book,
so I'm
not exactly some anonymous fly-by night on-line store

To help make
purchasing on ebay a quick and simple
process,
I have decided to go with
the PayPal payment system,
PayPal really is a very secure and safe
way to pay for goods on-line.
PayPal
has proven to be the
most secure and
fool proof way of paying for goods,
and doing business over the Internet, and has some very
neat buyer protections too.
<<
PayPal is
so very easy to use, you don't even have to sign up for an account,
you can use your credit card through their system with total security.
Though for convenience, once you have signed up for an
account,
then any further or future purchases with sellers that
use PayPal,
make it such a simple and quick process.
I
can assure you,
I would not be recommending PayPal to my valued customers
if I didn't
have total trust and faith in their system .
Below is a link to a short video about PayPal, it's well worth a look...

Click the above photo to see a larger one :-)  | G'day Folks,
just a
brief
introduction about me (Val Rigoli)
Since
my early
childhood I've always had a keen
interest in the great outdoors, camping etc, being a member
of the Scouting movement for over 15 years probably had a lot to do
with this, so I guess a natural progression for me was to extend this
camping and outdoors thing to caravanning, motorhoming and boating etc.
Work wise I
started out in the
caravan industry on
the Gold Coast back in 1975, working for the original Gold Coast
Caravan Repairs, repairing and renovating caravans, after this I had a
job building new caravans for a while.
In the early 80's I discovered computers, and then later still the Internet, where I became very
involved with the Motorhomes
Australia forum (1998), devoting
much of my spare time to chatting
socialy on the forum, and giving advice where I could to people with
caravans and motorhomes and the likes, soon after I was handed the reins to the Motorhomes
Australia website, I still
look after it to this day.
Later
on in life I
opened up my own business building Slide-on Pop Top campers
(Stronglight Campers), this business was progressing very well until I had to
put on staff,
I soon
realised that this was not going to work for me!
Put bluntly, I simply
could not find staff that were keen/passionate enough, or paid enough attention to
detail, I guess I'm just too darn picky, so after 6 years I chose to just close the business down.
So
in
2002 I started the business Fridge
& Solar,
opening
a
shop front in Labrador on Queensland's Gold Coast, also building an
associated website, selling goods on-line, also writing
information and how-to articles.
After a few years this business became too busy for me to handle alone
(I knew that staff would NOT be a good option for me) so I
closed the shop front, packed up, went home and took the business
on-line to the Internet
only.
But again it became far too busy for me to handle (just not enough
hours in the day), so feeling a bit (lot) burnt out, I closed up the
on-line selling and hung a "Gone
Fishing" sign on the website for a
while.
However I continued to write and update my information and how-to articles on this website, and
I love helping out folks out as much as I can, so I continue to write and update my articles, and still post regularly on some of the
motorhoming
and camping forums, please keep an eye out for MrVal
As you now know I am now back selling a few
select quality
products through my ebay
store.
Please note:-
My articles are
written in good faith from
in-excess of 38 years of practical hands-on
experience, learned skills, and industry knowledge, so while
I have no
formal qualifications most folks comment that they have found my advice to be both informative and accurate.

hot tip...
