    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Yeah same with the Rhino branded ones, $1.50 each from the hardware store for the eye bolts and $2.30 for the channel nuts off ebay.

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Now you need to get some channel nuts and eye bolts to make up some tie down points.

    Cold Weather Camping. How do you keep Warm in single digit temps?

    You can get 12V ceramic heaters but you'd want some decent battery capacity.

    Cold Weather Camping. How do you keep Warm in single digit temps?

    I fitted a diesel heater in our caravan, you can get portable ones but ive never felt the need. Big fire and more drinks then you don't care how cold it is :)

    Kitchen slide builds - how heavy is too heavy?

    3/4" might be a bit heavy, i didn't make this but its a commercially made product and i think its 12mm plywood, even fully loaded i can lift it in and out of the back. It has adjustable legs that fold underneath so can be used away from a vehicle.

    Cold Weather Camping. How do you keep Warm in single digit temps?

    Double bagging worked in minus 6.7C, thats a sleeping bag inside a sleeping bag. Then add one chunky black lab cross and a quilt and you're warm as toast. That was in a cheap 2 man tent but my usual accommodation is a double swag which has quite thick canvas so keeps the heat in quite well, mine...

    270* awning with a liftgate???

    I looked at everything on the market and all have 2 beams over the rear in a V shape which wouldn't clear unless it was raised much higher on the rack which i didn't want.

    270* awning with a liftgate???

    Bought a 23Zero Falcon 270 awning last week and had a quite day at work so opened it right up in the carpark, my tailgate lifts to a pretty much horizontal position and back of the awning fits over it nicely. Also sits low on my Rhino platform rack which helps for clearance in carparks and...

    Let's see those rigs in action

    Took my nephew out for some driving practice on the weekend, found some awesome tracks thru a pine plantation and some quite steep fire break tracks. I put together a short video for my nephew since it was his first time driving off-road.

    Camper by Allroad AM03

    Not heard of that brand but most of the china built trailers come in CKD then get assembled and rebranded here so quite likely i have seen them. A quick google and i found them - Camper Trailer | Ar Campers | Murrumbateman The issue i see with a lot of these imports is that the canvas is...

    270* awning with a liftgate???

    Not impossible but not practical although as long as there isnt a beam that passes over the tailgate you could drape the end over it with a pole off to one side, the Disco tailgate is quite flat and doesn't lift so high .

    New Navigation Device iPad?

    I have a couple of sets of maps that i downloaded to use with OziExplorer , some are 100k and some are 250k . I think the Nexus is 128gb and i only use it for mapping so find its more than enough, its getting old so time to replace it.
