As promised, here’s the next installment of the eBay diesel heater fitting process, if you haven’t read it already, I suggest you start at part one. Weather and a small DIY accident delayed the job (sliced a finger with the Stanley knife, proceeded to do the ‘man thing’ after the doc patched me up […]
This is my experience of the installation process. I’ve tried to relate it as clearly as possible and I recorded the process with plenty of photos and kept a good list of the ‘extras’ and tools I needed for the job. This is part one and I haven’t fired the beast up yet (in […]
I wrote a post a while back about installing our Kings fridge but at that time we hadn’t tested it out while travelling completely off-grid. We just got back from a two week trip to western NSW where we spent quite a few nights free camping without power so I thought an update on […]

These are difficult times and most of us aren’t using our vehicles nearly as much as we used to.
