Our recently purchased 2011 van originally had a 3 way fridge but previous owner changed to a 12v/240v Waeco compressor fridge.

Does anyone leave their gas on when travelling? I have a 3-way fridge that I can set to automatic selector. Takes 240V, then 12V from vehicle, then gas. The 12V on-board battery only powers the device that makes the selection. It doesn't power the fridge cooling mechanism. When travelling the fridge...

When I purchased my DMax I thought I could get away with the rubber squares you join together for the tray but it is not working as I intended, my work gear still slides about which means on my trip everything will slide about. My last ute came with a tray mat, nothing ever slid around on it. My question, sho...
