    12v fridge recommendations

    Happy to give input where I can! Living in Africa comes with a few challenges but it's overlanding paradise if you ask me. Old ASPW is definitely an authority on Southern African overlanding, yes :wink:

    Snomaster is a South African company, yes. I have used National Luna, Snomaster, Waeco (Dometic) and Engel. My preference is Engel as it has a really low power draw and it's tough as nails. Downside is it's very expensive compared to other brands. I have a National Luna 90l dual compartment in...

    If you have any specific issues or need info you can't find online, maybe speak to Marius Willemse +27 11 026 6350 at Conqueror Northgate (South Africa timezone is GMT+2). This is where I service my Conqueror, the guys are always super helpful.

    What's the most ridiculous part of your kit?

    People usually chuckle at this but it actually works. I use a hand-pump pesticide sprayer (with added shower head) to shower with when water is really limited. You can get clean in as little as 2.5L (0,66 gal) water. It costs a whopping $16...

    Thanks :blush: It seems like Botswana will only open their borders early 2021 unfortunately, so yes, prudent to postpone. DWNP / Bigfoot aren't taking any bookings for 2021 yet either, only changed 2020 bookings. Let's hope we can get out there sooner!

    Opinions on The Ineos Grenadier ?

    I really like the concept, IMHO it's what the new defender should've been! The proposed prcing though will make it more expensive than the Toyota Land Cruiser 76 4.5 V8 diesel locally (which will definetily limit sales). My other concern would be parts and service availability (especially in...

    Thanks Michael! We made it across the border back to South Africa just in time for a strict lockdown, haven't been able travel for 70+ days now with no leisure travel in the foreseeable future unfortunately. Hopefully we can get back out there again soon!
