A mattress that I'm researching has a layer of "hard" foam on the base. Although not for a RTT, the concept may have some merit being much lighter than wood.

G'Day, Your Friday Night HAM Radio Net will be hosted from waaay-down-under again this week. The topic will be "What's in your tuckerbox?" which probably needs some translation. The meaning of which is what are those food essentials you always take on your Overlanding trips? Mostly those...

To answer your question regarding Anderson connectors being the same. No, they are not but if your Overland Solar Charger has the connectors installed you need to stick to that size and color (probably SB50 Gray). The connectors vary by physical size for maximum Amp rating although 15-45 amp...

Ed, What's the middle unit? What are they mounted on?

Here is my Barrett HF Mobile Outpost Transceiver, next to a familiar object so you can get a sense of the size of the unit. As you may notice the unit is not the newest but I intend to keep it because it still works and would cost thousands of dollars to replace with a more modern unit. HF...

I'm currently building my T6 Multivan 4Motion into an overlanding vehicle here in Tasmania. The picture is a "before" shot. I'm still in the final stages of fitting a snorkel and then it's off to Sydney to get a lift and bash plates.

I still have mine in Australia.

My van has a dashboard menu item to change the headlights from left to right, so easy.

RE RORO and theft. I'm wondering the cost of taking all the loose stuff (tools, parts) as excess baggage when I fly to the destination would be less than the difference between the container and RORO. It might make customs clearance easier too as it is accompanied. Randall

If you move to a night other than Friday or Saturday (US Time), I'll probably be at work. If I'm working from home still that may not be too much of a problem unless I have work meetings at that time. Currently, your Sunday night would not work for me at all but with the change of seasons, the...

My Instagram ID is tasrandall. It has more than just vehicular overlanding.

I've just returned from a trip to Tasmania's west coast. Not an actual 4wd trip although there was plenty of dirt driving. The main focus was on boating, kayaking and bushwalking along a fairly inaccessible piece of the coastline around the Pieman River and Pieman Heads. The weather for 3 out of...

This one is a good read. On the Pieman River in western Tasmania.
