[jamiegarton]

Videos like this are so helpful for new comers like me. Thank you so much.

dometic CFX3 ( still marketed as Waeco in Aus) are outstanding fridges. Try one. You will be surprised.

I could listen to Andrew rant about bad kit all day long.

Batteries linked just with a heavy cable in a vehicle with smart alternator is the problem regarding getting second battery fully charged. This is why a Dc to Dc charger is the way to go, especially with solar input and solar panel mounted uptop.

I totally agree with you about the cadac burners

[seanflanigan]

An often overlooked issue with simple solenoid isolation is hooking up two batteries in parallel that have different capacities. Crank batteries rarely have an Amp Hour capacity greater than the Auxiliary battery. Simple example: the start battery in my 4x4 has an 85Ah capacity. My auxiliary battery has a 120Ah capacity.
Simply in parallel, the auxiliary would never fully charge. For basic solenoid isolation, both batteries must be same chemistry and same Ah capacity.
DC-DC chargers allow safe and effective charging to 100% for any auxiliary battery.

I just bought a new Engel 57L upright because I have two excellent 40L and needed the upright for my trailer.
That 57L is so damn loud “68db” I would say a 4 cylinder Deutz would be quieter .

Love the shows and the commentaries. We don’t have to agree with you but we love the shows

When you're talking about fridges. What does it mean when it comes out of the same factory but rebranded ones are better quality? Wouldn't it be the same?

[jaydemacfarlane]

Hey Andrew try the "Ledlenser" head torch 🔦 😁

Several years ago, I acquired 2 of the Nitecore headlamps after seeing them on one of Andrew's videos. I really like them and they still work great. They provide a good amount of light and I like the red light feature which has come in handy when camping in an area with lots of bugs flying around. I have not used them with gloves, but I have no issues finding the buttons with my bare hands. I would buy them again.

I agree 100% with your constructive criticism. Unfortunately many people will disagree with your comments (and mine 😊) but they are obviously the type of people that are easily duped of their money and have very little foresight or realisation into what actually represents good value for their money.
You remind me of myself, as l’m also very critical of poorly designed products and the lack of value for money. Too many products are just rubbish and many of them are not exactly cheap either.
Keep doing what you’re doing Andrew, l admire your, straight to the point comments on all things, good, bad and otherwise. 😊👍👍

I have a Waeco/Dometic 80l fridge that I bought in South Africa over 20 years ago. Took it to Dubai and used it their for five years and now using it in Australia. I want to buy a smaller fridge as I no longer have kids and don't need an 80l, but the damn thing just wont die.

[jiffijoff]

Love your ranting about the torches. Exactly what I was thinking: you need a pre-torch to operate the final torch. 🙈😂😂

[glennj]

Petzl head torch /Surefire torches 🔦/Dewalt 18v tools /Cetek dc-dc /Dometic CFX /NDS inverters/Leathermans multi tools/511 clothing/ stiff teddy 🧸 just my suggestions of course 👍🏻🤫
