Yes it is, still offers some support when deflated but my 125 kg frame doesn’t help the cause I guess.

My First Ascent Dream Deluxe picked up a puncture the other night. It’s still usable even though uncomfortable and annoying having to get up to inflate it again every hour or so. Murphy’s law of...

Hi all
Apart from the forum, do you generally post reviews on places you visit and if so, where?
I tend to post reviews on Google Maps these days just because so many people use it, I also tend to...

1.3 ton is plenty, but I just hope you went for a worm gear winch, this makes it so much safer and easier. Also get Super 12 synthetic winch rope if you can and get rid of the steel cable, steel...

Yes I know they won't be for sale here any time soon, but I still think this is pretty cool and who knows, this might after all pave the path for making them available here eventually....

Same happens with some of the popular caravans with long lead times. I saw many adds in the past here on the forum and elsewhere where people advertise a brand new Afrispoor or Bushlapa caravan for...

Personally I never saw Toy dealers quote more than their own recommended retail price on a vehicle due to stock shortages, usually they give some form of discount whether they have stock or not, as...

It's been discuss here on the forum a lot in the past. Long and the short of it is that they don't fail, but if they fail there is firstly a electronic over ride but should that fail to work it is...

Talk to TTT, he also started with a 3000 and later upgraded to a 5000 due to the temperature derating, if I remember he mentioned specifically why he didn't add a second 3000 in parallel but rather...

My rule of thumb if still in excellent condition is take 2 thirds of new price and work from there. How old is it? Even better if it's still within the 5 year warranty, fortunately the market for...

A farmer friend of mine has tralies and a seiltjie on the back of his bakkie, I saw it for the first time the other day and also wondered about it.
He said he uses the seiltjie when going to town...

But why? I would have thought a nice current will make it more fun, apart from using more fuel of course when going up stream.

Willems Rus next weekend and straight from there Koedoesrus for the...

I assume you are the pit crew so this doesn't have to go along on a bike.

20l per person is a lot, you can get away with much less, apart from discipline I don't really know how you'll be able to...

I'm also looking for a lighter table, currently I have one with steel legs and a plastic top, nice and sturdy but it's quite heavy to lug around.

I'll be seriously ticked off if I only find out afterwards that the weight rating drops even more if going off road, I never even thought of something like this.

A thought though do the vehicle...

If you ever want to treat your Cheetah a bit with a upgrade especially those guys with the older vans and SWAMBO's who complain about the compression locks hurting their fingers.
Get yourself the...

Genpower and Bundupower also build canopies.

Unless you have a very specific reason for wanting to do this why bother? Dual battery systems automatically do their thing to eliminate having to remember to manually flip a switch.

While you are...

Many people on the forum use portable aircons in their vans. If a portable aircon doesn't work in your van, then a mounted aircon also won't work. If your van for example have a lot of canvis walls...

That's actually the beauty of Victron, you can buy everything over time as budget allows, I'm also still saving up to expand on my Victron system.
It all depends on your specific battery's curve, on...

Anyone been to Koedoesrus in Dinokeng and how was it?

Not ideal, but considering that your fridge cut out voltage should be seen as your last line of defence rather than it been used as a tool, it should be fine. Depending on your installation there...

Look in the inverter manual, the Victron inverter manuals all have charts which gives you the recommended fuse size based on the size cable you use, around 60 to 80A sounds about right, but double...

Look in the Commercial member section, there is a commercial member selling Ram mounts and Garman products.

1. DaVinci Resolve very powerful free software. Adobe Premiere, or if you are using Mac Final Cut Pro, which ever you choose will have a learning curve, but Youtube and Google is your friend.
2. No...

Depending what van it is and the space you have, maybe consider a portable aircon as well, it will save you a lot of money and then you can also use it in the house.

As others already said look at 4x4 Direct.
You won't be disappointed with a 100W panel, but for future expantion I would get a controller which can handle at least 200W in case your plans change in...

In theory yes, but in practice for the typical leisure application I don't quite agree.
Firstly you'll only use that 100Ah lead acid battery of yours down to 50% if you want it to last.
This cuts...

Why didn't I ever think of this, thanks.

Many people use their fridges without baskets no problem.

Depending on the trip we sometimes don't use our NL 90l's top freezer basket and also not the top fridge basket in the middle.

I can only guess this is due to supply chain issues. Covid plus Christmas season plus shipping delays over the last couple of months.
Remember a car factory closing for a week or 3 due to covid...

The above lines from your OP does not compute, just saying.
Asking for hard facts, but then stating that they are not beautiful and that a Conqueror is surely mor robust, so you give your opinion...

In order to make good recommendations, some questions.
What type of trailer is it? What equipment do you typically run when camping, fridge, lights, water pump, inverter? Do you often camp where you...

Another product I forgot about, the Victron Smart Battery Sense, one for each bank, it will show bank voltage and temperature so nothing too fancy. It's very cost effective and you even get a longer...

My opinion has always been, where do you camp where your vehicle or trailer is in full shade the entire day unless you are parked under a solid roof?
If your vehicle or trailer is in the sun for...
