Vehicle Requirements
« on: May 03, 2010, 08:21:17 PM »
What we take:

Extra spare as the camper mags and tyres match the Cruiser.
Will need A/T tyres as a minimum
Belts such as fan etc
A good tyre Compressor
A good jack
Spare fuses
Snatch strap / D shackles
UHF / CB radio hand held is fine.

This is a minimum. You can bring a heap of gear but at the end of the day it is knowing how to fix the problem.

The only issues on the last trip were, Ketsi's bearing on his camper failing, a couple of flats tyres, a rock hitting a windscreen from a roadtrain.

he he he.... good work Bevo... He tried sneaking this one through while we were away fiascoing.... Keep the bugger honest.

Magoo.. don't forget that a lot of travellers on the last myswag cape trip learnt about adding a castleated nut to the trailer bearing spares kit as it isn't usually thought of that this may be required as a spare item.... the pain I went through to pass on that lesson....

Cheers,  :cheers:
