fresh water 2 – tick!

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…

sinked.

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…

toughen up princess 2.

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…

toughen up princess.

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…

saving our marriage.

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…
