According to Isuzu, the MU-X LS-T 4×4 we tested has a kerb weight of 2,175-kg and a GVM of 2,800-kg giving a load capacity of 625-kg. You could expect a 3.5-tonne van to exert a tow ball load of 350-kg leaving just 275-kg remaining cargo capacity. If you have two adults in the car weighing 90-kg each (180-...

Hi all this article in West Australian newspaper yesterday. I got a bit worried about our diesel heater and carbon monoxide poisoning a while back. I installed a monitor which you can buy at the big green shed. -- Edited by Cisco kid on Monday 1st of November 2021 10:12:10 AM

Hi all you other Avida MH owners. I have a small problem that you may have a solution for. The time displayed on the house control panel is incorrect. Is there any way I can reset the time to local current time? Have tried all manuals and no info. Be grateful if anyone could help please.

In August I bought a Victron 100/30 MPPT Bluetooth solar controller for $275 including delivery. Today I notice that same controller from the same (and others) supplier is priced at $383! A similar rip-off level price hike appears to have been applied to other (all?) Victron products too so I assume...

Hi, our slide-on camper is about 7 years old and not sure if our battery is on the way out or not. When we are away we generally have the van plugged into 240v and when we are at home I usually plug the van into 240v to charge the battery when it's not in use, it usually shows about 13v. Recently the volt meter is...

Hi, I'm looking for some feedback of pros and cons before I buy one. These are both the same price. For me, the Ziggy has an advantage of the lid being able to fold under for ease of storage. I would have to store the Weber with the lid removed (not a serious problem). They both look similar in construction a...
