Then onto Tony’s Landcruiser to correct his lack of cut-off to the van’s dust compression system when connected but parked. This was a real challenge and the end conclusion was that Tony’s car had not been wired up to provide this cut-off feature. Ray heads off to the town centre to get a relay switch, which takes well over an hour. He returns and has to improvise to pick up a relay point to Tony’s ignition switch. Eventually this is installed and now the cutoff is running successfully……beats having to disconnect cables when you stop and remembering to reconnect before you head off again.
Another hot day – around 29C, filled in with some shopping and coffee in town, after the repairs. Back to the park for lunch and Michael cooks Bacon & Eggs sandwiches at the Camp Kitchen for Tony, Dot and himself.
Lazy afternoon, slumbering or reading or undertaking some planning on fuel consumption and availability across the desert. The big decision is should we purchase an additional fuel container as a contingency measure. Finding it difficult at the moment to locate 50 amp fuses to carry as spares, given
We are utilising the Camp Kitchen for our evening meals, as well as when we want some hot water for a tea or coffee. At meal times you get to meet up with different travellers, especially around the gas BBQs where we are cooking our meat and potatoes.
We hear many different stories of problem issues they have encountered and the action taken to resolve these issues.
Still having heaps of problems sending e-mails…no trouble receiving them, some of which require a reply.
