Thanks Peter but they are very expensive :O^
True ..our 90 Litre cost nearly R 14 K without the now bought Camp Cover..but we tend to camp wild often..away from help so reliability and efficiency are key
And with this you have solar panels and the rest of those power equipment too -O-


Next trip to the bush??

Hello Alf,

Sorry about that which I will talk to you. If you are in camp the first thing which is in your mind is food & water & you said there are two chairs & whatever it is. So you want some big freezer to fill with full of cool drinks in the forest. You want that much facility. Please tell.
Thanks...

If i go camping in Kruger during December it would possibly for about 3 weeks. At this stage I’m gathering information on what equipment works and if i can store 3 weeks of frozen meat or need to do a day trip outside the park to restock.

When up north a day trip outside the park isn’t that easy so one needs the correct equipment (which i find is very expensive)

..We do game drive trips once a week to Phalaborwa town when staying in the North at Shingwedzi, Tsendze , Letaba or Balule to restock ..We are back latest 2pm ..At Punda we go to Super Spar at Thoyandou ..thats a bit of a schlepp but Phalaborwa makes it very easy when in the North ..We put our cold stuff in a nice cooler that works from the Cig lighter in the Bakkie and once back in camp into our Nat Luna 90 litre Fridge/freezer
