Howdy all, Just wondering where you run the coax cable through the fire wall of the current model Colorado Crew Cab Ute. I need to bring it in from behind the glove box (passenger) side as the cable is not long enough to trace around to driver side then under dash to passenger side where the actual radio wi...

HI all, today I tackled a water tank swap from 59 to 82L. I stuck with the camec brand which was already there because whilst the 80 was longer, it is the same height and width which meant I could use the same mounting brackets already fitted to the van. I'm guessing the 59 was original and it was a tight fit...

Yesterday we were going to fire up our backyard BBQ but when we turned the gas on at the bottle we noticed a massive gas leak at the regulator. A constant jet of gas was leaking out of a hole in the regulator. At first we thought that it was a puncture hole but then realized that it was supposed to be there. We f...

I am wanting to have the aircon wired via a switch that I can reach from my van recliner. It appears that the aircon is wired directly to the AC power. I think the van AC is a plug and play system with CMS components. Suggestions please. Aussie Paul.

I need to reseal the roof of my van, removing all the edge strips and clean up the botchy job that was done before. So the question is what is the BEST sealer to do the job.

Hi fellow travellers My old ACDelco at $ 110AH battery has died. Someone has suggested to go to a AGM battery at $140 extra plus I would need to upgrade my smart charger at $269. My question is it worth the extra expense.
