I want to replace the radio with a DAB radio not so much for quality of sound but more option on stations available especially when travelling in europe. As well as Blue tooth aux input stuff like that. 1) Anyone any ideas on best DAB aerial 2) Do I need anything else to boost the signal 3)...

2011 puma defender 110 5 door (was a 7 seater) I am struggling to find a side locker for this model. Lots of side lockers on ebay and lots of other sites but I am darned if I can find one to fit this vehicle.. Best I have come up with was one site that said fit to a Puma at you own risk...

Hi Tent 100% not for sale, I'll post some photos of our next trip (with solar panel) and if anybody is interested Ill tell them Thanks All for your help

Hi We have used the tent already a couple of times already and am really happy with it. and will post some photos when we go off next month. Nothing to heavy this year as we have shed loads of stuff to finish off at home. Shell Island for a week or two then the Scottish 500. Bit of a c**k up...

Hi Steve Earlier I thanked someone else for the calculation but in fairness they said it wasnt them. Chances are will be camping for more than a week at a time but I now have a clearer idea of what to do

Hi Your not wrong about body size but 4 x 4 is needed and the vehicle has to be able to do other stuff. So everything has to be modular easy to take in and out. We have a baker style tent which is magic and gives a decent sleeping space etc etc

Hi All I am not completely competent with these forum things BUT hugely grateful for ALl and ANY help never assume anything is known. For instance years and years ago I was really really struggling to do up a biggish nut. I didnt know groves cut in the flats meant it was a left hand thread...

Hi calling it a camper is egging the pudding a bit and I have come in for some friendly ribbing from friends who have things like a jumbo jet on an Iveco or Merc base vehicle. BUT I am happy with what we have, it not roughing it in my book just fun. Book called stuffication an interesting...

Hi Thanks like really thanks.(especially for the calculations) So Space for another battery is very tight but I will buy a 120amph mono crystal ground mounted rigid panel (not 100). Moving it around to follow the sun keeping it clean etc shouldnt be a problem and an MPPT controller. Worse...

Hi We are in Wales honest not Morocco but last week or so sand came from somewhere. Floor mounted there is no excuse for me not to keep things clean

Hi I was hoping nobody would ask, my mantra is keep it simple stupid so no bells and buzzers SO why I here you ask why the 2.2 puma (110) it ani't simple and perhaps Iam the stupid bit

Hi My problem is that it never occured to me to look and its too late now If I was starting to play with the landy again I would take a look see. Thats whats magic about the internet and forums like this info at the touch of a button.

Hi Well for what it's worth my idea is to NOT mount them on the vehicle. Idont wont ti increase the roof height in any way so we canstill get into normal car parks etc. And I would be paranoid about leaks SO Rigid folding panel that has a rigid case bit like a slim suitcase. Comes with a...

Hi The smart thing would have been to come to this site before we bought the batteries. With hind sight duel purpose would have been a better idea

Hi Yep good point, hadn't thought of that

Hi No its a propane water heating geyser made by Kampa and has a little 12v pump that sucks up water from any container. One pass through the systen raises the temp by 10 c then discharges it either through a spout to a sink or shower head or if you wamt hotter water back in to the container...

HI yep we are thinking to splash out on mono crystal. We are thinking not to mount the panel on the vehicle but on a stand so we can make best use of angle and shade problems. I kind of get the feeling that a 100 amph panel should do us maybe 120 with a hope of getting 10%

Hi We sound a bit primitive compared to your system. No TV, No computer, No stereo. 12 v ARB fridge 30 or40 litres couple of LED lights otherwise its hurricane lamps, propane cooker with piezo starter. The propane water heater does have a small pump though which I had forgotten about. I...

Hi Yep the fridge is my main concern ARB compressor fridge 0.87 amph at 3c. We have even thought to go to powder milk etc

Hi We have tried to keep things simple so our vehicle doesn't have central locking, climate control, electric windows, electric door mirrors or puddle lights and such stuff. We have changed bulbs to LED but you are right there can be lots of stuff secretly draining the battery.(some dash cams...
