I second that, they make excellent heaters.

Webasto is very good but do not overlook the Eberspacher which is as good and it is possible to get it at a very good price.
Here they have them a $1690.30
HERE is agood article about heaters


The Ederspaecher home page with the specs of the small unit is HERE

I hope that this help

Interesting page with details of a notebook holder. Also there is a lot of other info for setting up the DEFE including GPS, heater, etc which needs to be translate but it is very good.

For GPS navigation I use their software since they brought out V1.0, which is about 11 years ago. Very stable and easy to use.

They also sell great tablets which I would prefer while travelling.
Webshop Touratech-QV

Don't like to have an open laptop while driving through the outback as they generally don't like dust etc. Tablets however are touch screen so easier to make them dust proof. Also the mounting of a tablet is a lot easier than that of a laptop.


The only downside of the above software is that there is no Mac version - although having parallels installed solves the problem.

Cheers,
Daniel

Blimme... I suspect the CIA/KGB/MI5 would be well impressed with all this mobile technology... although with all those antenna, transmitters and electronics you'd want to be wearing lead undies for protection

Looks good! I like it more than the MUD that I have in my Defe

This propane air heater for the tent, trailer or the Defe it is heaps cheaper than the diesel heaters above mentioned.
The only problem is that there is not a Oz dealer yet so we have to get it from the manufacturer

This is another gadget that I believe it is not available here in OZ
They claim that it is the most practical, easy to transport wood burner available and also also the lightest and most compact backcountry wood stove ever pioneered.

The page for the stove and the camping/expedition gear is HERE
