Richard I replaced the old inverter with a RING 1000 watt pure sine wave inverter as suggested by a well known 4x4 outfitter. Banked on the advice received with no additional homework done

Thanks for all the feedback, I will check for a fuse but the interest in "fiddling around" is just too little;D
Replacement process now activated!

I am not very sure whether it is a well known brand but will also make sure to check the fuse before getting rid of it. Thanks for the feedback so far!

I have a 1200 watt PEAK modified sine wave inverter which recently went up in smoke while swambo had her 1000 watt hair dryer plugged into it.
My question is whether it can be repaired economically...

Your advice please!

Interesting thread!
I have done both 4x4 routes in the KNP and please don't expect a challenge of any kind. I will definitely not recommend the KNP routes if you are searching for a challenge.

Thank you for the great feedback!
It is clear that the area deserves a 1 night stop over and I will change our trip accordingly.

I wish to visit the ruins enroute from Gonarezhou to Hwange via Buluwayo. Although we will overnight in Bulawayo I would like to know if it will be enough time if we stop over for 2-3 hours at the...

Sorry CarloG but I missed your post. No coordinates but the only campsite at the top of the pass

Ek het dieselfde conversion gedoen om my boskriek en 200 Cruiser op dieselfde bande te kry. Het Angola gedoen 6 maande terug en geen probleme gehad nie. Bushlapa het my 2 weke gelede gebel om hubs te...

I would like to know what is being regarded as the top sat phone on the market at present. The most important factor being the best reception where ever you are.

Your views will be appreciated.

Any positive feedback on the use of kamp-oog?

Thanks for all the valuable contributions and references and ideas.

Lou07, in my books there is only one way and that is the right way - leave your car battery for what it is intended for and get yourself an alternative power source to run other equipment.
It is not...

Thank you for your valuable feedback. I think we wil give Nambwa a try....

The 4th week will be through the Caprivi and obviously the above question relates to the Caprivi ;D

Iam planning a 3 week trip through Bots in July 2018 and will say over for 1-2 days in the camp kwando/Nambwa region. Are there any members that can share their preference between theses 2 camp sites?

Bennie,

whilst on the normal bad roads (gravel and potholed tar) I had my vehicle tires on 1.8 and my BL on 2.2
In sandy areas and through the death acre we went to 1.1 all around.

Not so sure. With my homework to date I think the BF's will get the nod the next round. Expected more from Coopers both from a product and after sales service perspective.
I think the AT will be...

Climbingnut,
Of the 10 tires 4 guys had one each and one unfortunate mate got 6! only 4 of 10 on the vehicles while 6 were on the Conquerors. The type of damage ranged from normal punctures, 2...
