I have to start putting some thought into our vehicles battery system. Its installed into a Mazda BT50, and I did it this way because I didn't want to interfere with the vehicle computer, and charging system when fitting extra electrics. The system has an auxiliary battery which is charged via a DC-DC...

If you have a dead or near dead lithium battery that you can't get any joy regarding a warranty replacement, I'm interested in buying it. I want to see just what it is that is failing in these drop in 12v batteries and the only way I'll find out is to open them up. So, if you want to get a few $$ for something tha...

I purchased a new van 6 months ago (not my first) and it's fitted with a Dometic RMDX25 fridge. Whether it's a hot day or cool day, whether it's running on LPG, 240v or 12v, it will not cool below 8 degrees, measured with a min/max digital thermometer. It has to be the fridge, not the power source and I am th...

My thoughts are either the s-line or r600 mack, like em both. Intend on towing a 3500kg off road van. Power and trans would be too much of a problem, just slot another combo in. Not sure how big of a transmission cooler I would need if I fit an auto trans (easier than a roadranger, better for the mrs). Have to...

Hi Guys - Can anyone tell me from actual experience what it is like to have a wheel bearing failure in a single axle caravan .
