As we will be taking a 40ltr Engel fridge with us when we go camping, we decided to make sure our battery charging process was in order.

We has a Piranha DBE 180S Electronic Isolator fitted to the Pajero. The DBE 180S is a 180 Amp unit with full spike/surge protection and solar input to charge auxillary batteries. We also had another Andesen plug fitted in the rear cargo area to connect our ARK Powerpack to which will run the fridge.

We had an Andersen plug next to the trailer plug into which we will plug the Camper Trailer battery for charging on the road.

The time had come to replace the tyres on the 4WD.

Considered Micky Thompsons and Coopers, but with both over $330 a tyre, I finally settled on the Bridgestone D693 A/T Duellers (265/75R16 LT) at $250 a tyre.

Having hitched the Outback Sturt camper trailer to the Pajero earlier in the day, it was time to take the camper to my father's place in Adelaide.

We will be making the jerry can holder for the front of the camper as well as purchasing an inner spring mattress to replace the thin foam mattress that is currently in the camper.

We drove 225km and used 44 litres of LPG.
We drove at 100kph (highway).
This equated to 19.56ltr/100km. 
LPG cost was $0.541c/ltr.
Total cost was $23.81.

We took the 4WD and Camper Trailer out to Martins Bend for a photo shot.
