    I'm broke again.

    I went to the 4 X 4 and camping expo.

    After a false start, with all the carparks full, I headed home in disgust and somewhat peeved. Fortunately, a free, free spot appeared so I slotted into it and walked the kilometre and a half back.

    I got a new UHF, snatch strap, go-pro, various electrical outlets, adapters and chargers for the Disco and a Smarttek 6 gas hot water unit for the coach conversion. Also a bush shower for camping.

    After all that energy expenditure I decided to get a cab back to the car. The $9.40 fare was cheaper than the $13 parking fee.

    Sounds like you had a good day after a bad start Ian. What brand/model of VHF did you get.
    Cheers......Brian

    UHF Brian, Oricom UHF 300, hopefully it will fit into the useless shelf above the windscreen.

    I fitted my UHF radio into the top shelf on my D2.
    It fits great But it tends to "Muffle" the speaker quite a lot.

    I considered that and thought an 8 ohm external speaker would overcome the issue.

    We got there at 9.30 and there was plenty of parking.
    Spent most of the day comparing camper trailers. Very impressed with the Jawa's from the Sunshine Coast.
    I bought a Projecta 900a lithium jump starter for $170. Charged it up last night. Seems like an excellent thing. Said to be able to start five times a diesel up to 3.2 litres or a petrol up to 4 litres. There are also 1200a and 1500a models.
    Can also charge phones, tablets. Can be recharged in the same way. It's amazing how compact they are compared with a standard battery.
