so far our dear discovery a.k.a. snowflake has led a charmed life. all she had to do was ferry one (other) little princess and her mum to school and back. not a particularly difficult task for a car that is supposed to be a tough as nails off road warrior. she did do a little…

they say it saves marriages. i can totally see how; the treg hitch is a simple but effective piece of engineering, allowing the trailer – car connection to articulate in every possible direction while still establishing a strong constant link. there is only one little problem: it requires precise alignment, or else the little pin…
especially things that really should be. here is an example: you have a single din sized slot for a car radio, so when you buy a single din sized car radio you should be able to expect that the thing drops straight in, right? i would have thought so. maybe, just maybe, it’s also a…
with almost all the prep work done it was time to install that tank. a few more little tweaks, like the cable routing on top. the thick one on the right is for the water coming from the internal sink, the thinner one for the overflow and ventilation and the cable comes from the sender.…

since i unexpectedly received the grey water tank kit much earlier than expected i again spent quality time under the van. it’s actually pretty good, especially since it appears my liberal application of insecticide has persuaded the red backs to move on (in one way or another) plus since the van has a high ground clearance it…
christmas came early this year. kris and i were just running some errands – like booking snowflake in for a little surgery – when we found a little pallet sitting on our doorstep. i was not expecting anything. least of all from the people in ballina who are otherwise known for building tiny apartments on…
looks like we spend our weekends mostly camping and riding enduro (natalie and i anyway, mum is shuttle & catering). time well spent as fa as i am concerned. this weekend we only went riding and did not include camping in our plans. i had other plans to spend my sunday and they included crawling…
last time i added the pico and the big shunt in the battery box. that shows me how much current is going in and out of the battery bank but really not much else. not bad but that means I have no idea which unit is consuming how much energy. this would be the logical…
i love knowing what’s going on around me, especially in our karavan. up until now we had this measly (sorry but it’s true) tank gauge and the nice but rather limited battery indicator. instead i got this, made in slovenia. cool. it’s not just a pretty face, though, it’s also actually nicely architected. the main…
