RECORD IT IN HD
Garmin Dash Cam
In the event of an accident it always pays to have
plenty of evidence. The latest Garmin Dash Cam will
record it all in wide-angle high-definition, with sound.
The device mounts to the windscreen and
automatically starts and stops recording.
It detects incidents like braking or a collision
and saves the relevant video files to the memory
card. The GPS version even time-stamps
and tags the footage -and you can re-live the
action on its 2.3-inch colour display.

One of the country’s great unsung
success stories would have to be
Melbourne- based Denso Automotive
Systems, the world’s largest manufacturer
of automotive air conditioners.
Their new roof-top caravan air conditioner
has won an international engineering
award for excellence. The unit is also the
lightest (39kgs) and smallest in its class.
For the engineering minded, here’s why:
“The Denso units are the first in the world
to combine the technology of a thermal
expansion valve and highly efficient R-410
refrigerant gas, offering high performance
and stable air temperatures across a
wide range of operating conditions.”

In case you missed out
Coast Laguna Recliners
These chairs were the big unexpected hit with readers
in our Time to Roam survey selection of prizes.
Considering you could take a kitchen sink camping 80 years ago,
it was about time someone designed the perfect recliner chair.
Available in navy and red, the Coast Laguna comes
with plenty of room for drinks or snacks.
For big snackers, the super-strong frames can hold someone up to
150kgs, yet the chairs weigh just 9kgs when it comes time to pack.

Available for $270 a pair | coastrv.com.au

The Logitech +drive sticks to the windscreen
or dashboard using a suction cup, with a
single twist action to lock it in place.
