Gear Review:
- MSA Fridge slide - solid bit of kit. Works well and super handy to have given the fridge sits ontop of the drawers so would make it very hard to reach down into the bottom of fridge without having it drop down. However, i think the Clear View slide is a better design than the MSA and i feel i should have bought the clear view. Also the msa drop slide has a bolt on the right hand side that catches the webbing of the ARB fridge bag, and it has already started to rip the fridge bag!! Horrible design by ARB
- ARB Fridge - works well, draws hardly any power. Its a fridge.
- Drifta Drawers - slide beautifully and a heap of room inside. Good buy, way easy to install.
- Road Chef - first use of this kit. Jury is still out on this, as it didnt cook the pies to a crispy state. They came out soggy, even after checking out a number of times and extending the cooking.
- Hulk Air Compressor - Used the air compressor for the first time outbush, and a hole started to emerge from the cord which made the air compressor not work! Should be under warranty and get it replaced. This better not be a sign of more issues to come...
Food: Pies, sausage rolls, hot cinamen donuts.
Report: Finally the VIC government allowed us out of our homes following COVID restrictions. Hit the tracks and got dirty. Dissapointinly many tracks were closed, so couldnt really explore this area even though it wasnt even past queens b'day weekend. It was drier than i had thought given all the rain, but there were a few puddles and slippery slopes to get the heart racing. Nearly slid off a small rock bridge which would have been nasty damage, but car stopped about 3cm short from falling off!! Didnt break anything which is always good (other than the air compressor hose).
Rating: 8/10
