Said awning... was used loads during the trip :5bcheers2:

Yeah, they ain't cheap. Looked at one before we ripped out the back of the rangy. Mike's idea seemed to work pretty well, he had the option of penthouse view or down 'n' dirty with the rest of us. He could have put stuff on the roof in the day that he needed when stopped, not that it'd have...

Have you got a roof rack? strap them on there, it doesn't rain over there and everything is covered in sand, inside and out, anyway. Cheers

Chairs.

Mike, My thinking is to use the inverter during the day to get it nice and cold, then at night, after a day of charging out second battery, switch it over to 12v. It's not going to be opened much at night once in bed. Should keep it cold enough over night, then when driving, change to inverter...

Dometic compressor fridge Thinking of getting one of these and rigging it up to an inverter for the compressor side. Along with a little black box to turn off the supply to the lot when not needed. Deffo gonna do something better than the last fridge i took. Just couldn't keep it cool at all.

We had some, not metal ones, that we used a couple of time, mainly when we were stuck pretty bad in the river bed and lost the bullbar :eek:

Just like Spacedawg's motor :)

It's dometic, that's the make, not domestic. dometic fridge

Dometic fridges are quite good too, and no where near as expensive as ARB and the likes. I'm replacing the one we took with a Dometic, bit more space in it for more beer :)

Yeah, it was a real good blast. Can't wait till 2016, seems such a long way off though...

One essential piece of kit you MUST take...... a bloody onsie!!!!

we took 3 x 10 litre plastic water containers which we used for washing and cooking with. Drinking water we bough while out there in 5 litre bottles then decanted that into the small drinking bottle and popped them in the fridge :) You can buy bottled water all over the place there, no real need...

oh, we took the air con out too. Personally i wouldn't bother with air con over there. You're in and out of the car so much it's pointless. On the long drives it's nice to have the warm air blasting through the windows.. helps with the tan too ;)

Sure i had more pictures that this. Basically we ripped everything out from behind the two front seats. 18mm MDF framework and top then drawers made from slightly thinner stuff. No fancy drawer runners, just used same MDF as sliders. Held together really well and the all the side pods kept...

Oh what fun we had!!!! :):)

We managed to break a brand new Terrafirma HD shock on ours. We took wheel bearings, brake callipers and replacement filters. Next time we will take half shafts and diffs as these are the expensive parts out there. I hope to fit a second alternator for the second battery, this way we will have...

Young James made a fold down bed for his 90, think he posted a pic in the 2014 trip page. He kip'd in it and made his dad sleep outside.. As for spares, we dumping the stuff we took and will take more transmission / drive stuff, diff, drive shafts etc, as that's what seemed to be going when we...

Drop fuel tank and replace the in-tank pump. Hopefully it'll start before it flattens the battery.. again.

Replace in-tank fuel pump.
