    National Luna or Engel

    NL and Snomaster are produced in SA so they’re cheaper here, everything else is imported so we get nailed on import duties and shipping

    National Luna or Engel

    I’ve had no issues with the NL either, the Engel is more efficient on power (probably because of a better compressor and insulation). Put it to you this way, if I have to buy a fridge now and I have the cash it’s an Engel, if I’m on more of a budget, the NL

    National Luna or Engel

    I own both. My trailer came with a National Luna (about 4 years old now) and I’ve had my Engel for 15 odd trouble free years. Engels are much more expensive (over here at least) than all the other fridges but it would be my first choice because of its longevity and efficiency.

    What is your favorite overland/camp stove?

    Stove and oven ;) Jokes aside, in my trailer I have a built-in dometic and in the car I use a Campingaz propane stove (branded Gas ONE GS-1000 in the US). If you're going to overland internationally I'd recommend a dual fuel stove as propane connectors are different in different countries and...

    So optimistic for Starlink

    It is certainly a game changer for full-timers and content creators on the road in remote areas. I am concerned about the amount of potential space junk this can create as well but at the same time it will make my life a lot easier (and interesting, live streams from the central Kalahari...

    Full-time overlanding - to tow or not to tow

    We only get the 4.2 1HZ in the Troopy. Only the 76 and 79 have the 4.5 V8 option. Albeit slow as a dog, the 1HZ is bulletproof and is better suited for the poor quality of local diesel

    Full-time overlanding - to tow or not to tow

    Thanks Blaise! 1. We’ll do a combo of one-nighters and base camping but probably more base camping. 2. Yup rhe 1HZ motor is bulletproof but it’s heavy on fuel and very slooow 3. When it’s set up like ASPW’s it’s not bad 4. Yes I meant just driving it every day 5. Yup, definitely more space...

    Full-time overlanding - to tow or not to tow

    The struggle is real :laughing: We usually base camp as well, one of the main reasons I got the trailer in the first place. There are a few places recently where we've done quite a few one-nighters and where I wouldn't take a trailer (notably crossing the Central Kalahari). My car is set up...

    Full-time overlanding - to tow or not to tow

    Thanks Björn, forgot about shipping! We'd like to circumnavigate South Africa (mostly on dirt) first, then Southern Africa (Nam, Bot, Zim, Zam, Moz) and maybe even a Cape to Kairo (or abouts) trip. From there who knows...
