dirty south is probably now natalie’s new favourite trail. honestly, i totally agree. it is a quintessential (short) enduro trail and it has been part of the east coast titles (where nat competed) and the rollercoaster green valleys round. we pitched the disco on the green for the day. kris got a little shade she…
we were thinking of taking some sort of watercraft with us on the trip. surely we will come across a creek or a lake that we would love to explore. kris found an inflatable standup paddle board but that gave us an idea. a few years ago – something like 22 years ago – we…
it’s not really a great deal, but still: i just crossed 1000km on my bike this year, 77 hours all in all. i know people on road bikes spend much more time on their contraptions but i think i have a lot more fun on my little nomad. i could not possibly claim i loved…
taking off the rear fresh water tank was easier than expected. five massive bolts, a few hose connections and the whole thing comes off. so far so good. the next part was the tried and tested ‘install a wema reed relay sensor’ method. easy, right? ‘ i hate drilling holes into tanks. silly, there are…
yes, i’m aware of basic english grammar and no i did not write this post after a long night of fun. it’s probably that ‘dad joke’ thing natalie like to complain about. anyway, as i was saying the sink slide (get it now?) on the kk was a bit notchy and there was not a…

the outside kitchen sink has always moved rather badly, instead of smoothly sliding in and out there was a decidedly jerky motion accompanied by grinding sounds. clearly the slides had to be replaced. drilling out 12 rivets can’t be that hard, right? and then re-rivet the new slides i ordered from kk headquarters. except ……
nat is! she placed first in the two-day superflow rollercoaster state championship in the under 13 junior female category. we made a late call to go, the weather looked pretty dicy. the forecast was for quite a bit of rain on both days of racing, not a lot of fun when you know you have…
when i installed the simarine pico and removed the victron battery monitor it left an unsightly hole. we can’t have a hole in the control panel of our beautiful van, that would be unprofessional. i thought about what we could use to cover it up, that would look ok and be useful at the same…
most of the time things are more complicated than they really should be but then there are those instances when things can go the other way. take this one for example, the hepvo valve. since there is no room in the van for a proper syphon one either deals with the smell coming back from…
that snorkel looks the business but we needed snowflake to bulk up a little more; the outback is a tough place. it’s also full of tough animals that despite many years of coexistence with motorized vehicles still have not grasped the basics of road safety. on the upside it is accepted practice to avoid sharp…
