    Diesel heater in a four wheel camper?

    Not really. I put a heater in my slide-on - it's a Chinese Eberspacher clone that came with a 10 litre tank which I mounted at the rear. That lasts quite a long time. It puts out a massive amount of heat at full bore, when it throttles down to minimum it's barely audible so I'm pretty happy...

    New to campers and surprised by the high prices. How come a camper is half the cost of a car?

    Well north I suspect. I know someone who just took delivery of a Bruder and tows it with a 79 series Landcruiser (not the one in the picture) and the Cruiser alone has nearly $200K in it.

    Alternator Charging

    Just hooking your batteries to the alternator has a few issues. Firstly you need to isolate your vehicle battery from your house battery so you don't run both down and be unable to start the engine. Secondly the alternator will just put out 14V when charging, which will charge your house battery...

    ACELA 6X6 WITH SLRV EXPEDITION BOX NEW BUILD

    An Adventurer - Isuzu NPS chassis. We really liked the layout with the electric bed, and couldn't see any point in going bigger just for 2 of us. It will be a big step up from our current slide-on/Amarok ute but only a metre longer so will still get into places the bigger trucks can't (like...
