Custom built and tied-down bunch of plastic is latest way to protect your generator? Not to mention the weight, with 2 gas bottles and a jerry can on drawbar, chains not crossed, and the horror of an LC200 with no WDH. And his mate had a big van behind a Prado.Cheers

I think most would agree product quality of Chinese manufactured items can often be dreadful but my diesel heater has done well. In April 2020 I installed a 5kW Chinese diesel heater which I'd sourced from an Australian supplier on e-bay for $185 into my caravan. It has worked very well, kept me warm an...

Note. I'm very new at this. I was watching a well known YouTube channel of a couple with three small kids travelling around Australia for the last few years.

I observed an ice addicted bloke in his 20s picking on an old frail 79 year old male who was minding his own business. When this moron grabbed the old bloke, it was my automatic que to step in.

A large flock of sulphur-crested c0ckatoos have developed a new game, it's called "Let's sit high in the trees directly over Harding's camp crapping on his solar panels and driving him crazy with screeching until he leaps up and down flapping his arms like a demented eagle".
