GETTING HITCHED
The most common offroad couplings involve a ‘ pin ’ rather than a towball . Any offroad coupling worth its salt will offer 360 degrees of rotation on both the horizontal and vertical axes . The Cruisemaster DO35 is one of the most popular offroad couplings ; however , there are plenty of suitable options available , from the AL-KO offroad ball coupling to the McHitch .
Do some research and ask fellow travellers what they use . Ultimately , stick to known brands that have been on the market for some time and have been thoroughly tested by their manufacturer .
KEEPING WARM
When it comes to keeping warm in the outback or bush , Glen swears by diesel heaters . They are quiet , efficient and effective at taking the extreme chill out of the air . In his experience at Kedron , they are often the first option that customers request for their new van .
STAYING SAFE
A great piece of advice from Glen : if possible , travel in the company of family or friends , especially when going really remote . Not only will you have people with whom to enjoy the experience , travelling with family and friends “ means you have great back-up for possible breakdowns and the additional feeling of ‘ security in numbers ’”.
