Make sure you have a few in the front bar of the Birdsville pub and grab a camel pie at the bakery.Quote:

What type of cargo barrier is this?
Do you have the second row seats still installed?
I am looking for a cargo barrier that works with drawers and second row seats.

Collected tonight from my PO Box, got sucked in to a TV shopping channel advert late last Saturday night :-) http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...017/05/147.jpg It's actually pretty cool, has a built in little playback screen, quick snap photo button, night vision & motion detection when parked. http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...017/05/148.jpg Ooh, and it also swivels 350 degrees so I can show you blokes footage of Johny Hopper yelling about mods :-) http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...017/05/149.jpg

I didnt buy anything to excoting today but got a new heavy duty steering damper so hopefully that will reduce or elimaye some of the wobble I have been having lately
A big ass 20 foot New Age caravan, WTF have we done?
Get it in 2 weeks then have to load it up, put the rest in the shed and vacate the house for the tenants 3 days after getting back from the Big Red Bash.
We are not taking the van to Birdsville, well not this time anyway.
It's been a big day!
WTF indeed! That'll cause a bit of a stir on the Canning! ;)Quote:

Yeah, I reckon that might well be us with the Tvan too! Good to hear that your plans for travel are happening. Hopefully you'll post an update here now & again, & maybe we'll get to cross paths somewhere.Quote:

Figured this would look much neater. It'll be about 6 weeks till mobile again. Head, belt ,tensioner and front locker, as well as tyres
I have a big reunion trip organised for David more details later. good price to. lol

Now to design something to protect to plasma from being sandblasted
You could use a radius arm bush, just a tight-ass way to do the same thing.

This was first use at Duaringa on the Saturday morning.
I bought some Titan rear drawers for the GU. Was going to make some myself but for $365 I don't think I could build them cheaper.
Purchased a CTEK Battery Sense blue tooth monitor. Uses an app on the phone to check battery charge and temperature. I assume it's ambient temp http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...017/05/181.jpghttp://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...017/05/182.jpghttp://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...017/05/183.jpg

I think you’ll find that the temperature reading is the temperature of the battery. An unexpected rise in temperature whilst the battery is charging can be an indicator of a problem. Battery temp sensors are usually just a lead attached to one of the terminals, so quite feasible that what you have bought can do this. Many of the better chargers have temp sensors attached to the battery in this way, & adjust the charging voltage dependent upon the temperature. This helps to extend battery lifespan.
Out of interest can it tell you how many amps are going in or out at any one time?
Thanks Cuppa, unfortunately it only shows Volts and temp.Quote:

Did I read somewhere Cuppa, that you have a Victron BMV-702 monitor for your batteries? If so, they have a BT dongle that plugs into it now, that will tell you this. This is how I monitor my batteries/solar panels, while sipping a bourbon in my camp chair. It sends the data to my phone. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/VICTRON-V...-/281752240958Quote:

No Steve, I have a NASA BM1 battery monitor which counts amps in & out & shows real time amps in & out. (Uses a shunt). I wish this sort of phone technology had been available when I installed my set up. It would have far easier & saved me a bit of grief. How does the app calculate SoC? Do you have to input the battery size when setting it up?Quote:
