I went from highway tyres to Wrangler Adventures and I had no change in fuel economy, I was expecting it to get worse but surprisingly not, very good tyres and quiet as well.

Thanks, that’s interesting, all else being equal are there any drawbacks to going that low voltage solar route to take advantage of those cheaper costs?

I’m assuming it’s probably just the total...

Can someone explain that?
I thought all else being equal higher voltage means lower current and hence able to use cheaper/thinner cabling and low voltage the opposite of that?

The quality of the one I have is great, no complaints.

The easiest way I’ve found is to bring a pneumatic airline type tyre inflator, the kind of thing petrol stations use but just a basic one, they are around R100 at Midas.

You attach that to your...

Unless there are current issues with your...

Ultimatum to collect by a certain day + that you will be back dating the storage fees at market related rates, ie a fee R100/per day if it is not collected by that day. Ultimatums normally make...

Can you post a link to the website?
I have heard before that vehicle spares are very cheap in Dubai.

With torque converter gearboxes the gearbox oil should last the life of the gearbox but if you tow a lot I’d assume changing the oil every 100,000km would be good idea, especially seeing towing makes...

Maybe some epoxy into a few of the screw heads or threads of the fasteners that mount the solar panels. That can make the simple and quick job of removing the panels into a time consuming nightmare....
