Thanks Jobe, yr very kind. You’ve all been incredibly kind. Today was a good day. Progress made, Mr Vain is on the road to repair!
Did a bit more driving. Spent the evening with a good friend. Life is getting easier.
Thank you all.
That’s good news to hear, take it from someone who knows, these things do get better and the heartache eases. Take care and keep your spirits up THM. 
Thats not a 5th wheel, its just a towing ball strapped to the roof lol 
The hitch part on the caravan part is a standard trailer hitch
Just picked up the news Rob,im sorry you was involved in that incident, ive had a few near misses on that stretch in the past.My thoughts are with you.
hey big man !!! so wot they doin bout ya truck ■■? 
Remember Rob that car driver put YOU in that position not you, he created the problem!!
Glad to hear things are improving Rob, not something to wish on a worst enemy let alone a decent bloke like you. Good to hear Mr V may be gracing the roads again as well
Hi all, well, almost 9 days on, 188 posts later, and we have some progress. Mr Vain is being repaired. A relief that i can’t put into words. Yes i know its only a truck. But its not! Today i pick up a hire truck so that at least i can get back to earning some money again. I’ve done some driving so i’m cool with going back on the road. I feel ok in myself. After all, i’ve had so many messages of goodwill, thoughts and experiences shared. Probably the best counciling that money could never buy.
I will never be able to thank all of you enough. You’ve all been very kind. Thank you.
