Everything 4x4 & Camping

Nover had a problem with mine on cold mornings, that's when I use it the most, but wind seems to affect them in a huge way, must keep sheltered from wind, mine seems to boil a kettle in no time, was only $19 from memory about 5 or 6 years ago.

But will certainly keep a close eye on it and check for any leaks, may be soapy water leak test is in order before next use.
 
Soapy water leak test will be a waste of time unless you do it before each use, the problem i see with them is they are connected and disconnected each time they are used by a pressure release type thing so I guess over time they could wear out of become loose when connect causing a leak...

About to start building a camper trailer soon - anyone built one and have any tips / hints? Anything you'd change or wish you put in the first time?
 
I built one years ago... just used a flatbed trailer as the base then built the walls around to suit... built the top so it folded out on each side to act as a large table/bench... made some mud guards and re-enforced them so we could stand on them, attached ancilleries etc.

Used lost of shs

Dont go cheap on suspension.
Click to expand...
got that covered, will be building a heavy duty independent coil spring suspension set up. Fabrication side of things won't be a problem, looking more at the fit out side of things and getting it right the first time so I'm not cutting shit up and modifying it after it's finished.
 
So what everyone upto over Easter?

I am off to our hut for a 4 or 5 days, on the Sunday we have a gathering at one of the huts after the "Easter Bunny" has come and all the kids go on a big easter egg hunt while the adult folk mingle around and have a few beers or champagne's with some freshly cooked homemade hotcross buns.
 
Heading out and about to purchase another rural block. Sold the last block finally now hoping to buy something more flatter and fertile.
Would love to set it up with a huge communal undercover kitchen to be able to use my cast ovens
 
I'm off to camping down south in 2 weeks which will be after the school hols so all the screaming kids would have GTFO of the area already. Got plenty of firewood, cammo gear, inflatable bed, tarps sorted. Gonna get lots of stew meats to cook over the cast iron pot just before we head off. Can't wait!
 
Where abouts down south?
