Itechworld Solar panel – Looks good, not fitted yet but looking forward to better performance than from my cheapie Chinese panel.

  DeLonghi Perfecta ESAM5500B

Real coffee taste – Was given a second hand unit as a gift as original owner now uses pods. Takes a while to find what brand of beans you like best but with a bit of experimentation a good cup of

coffee can be obtained. After reading reports of luke warm drinks I was concerned I may not get a hot cuppa but when set to hot it is good. Can use powder coffee if necessary and can select 5 strengths of beans and 5 volumes of water. My unit is faulty as I cannot do Cappuchino or dispence hot water but that is not a drama. All told I am happy with this unit. Checking ststs. this machine has made over 9200 coffees.

  FridgeMate FM55 / FM70 / FM95

FridgeMate FM60 – I prefer this unit (FM60) as it has a larger footprint & rather than being as deep it is easier to get things out without digging through everything. Noisier than I expected. 12V

power cables use too small gauge wire & get warm, will cause voltage drop. Lowest temp I could get was -14. This does not sound like a positive review but unit does work well & for the price I paid I prefer this to my old Engel. Dual zone provision, not too deep. Power hungry on 12V. External 240V power supply should be intergrated similar to Engel.

  Cub Drover

Value – Bought mine from second owner. Unit has been around Aus. twice incl. Gibb River Rd and has held up well. Few minor cracked welds on frame easily fixed & gas struts need replacing

but all is still good. Poorly designed door zip prone to failure which means all canvas has to come off, not a cheap fix.This fault rectified on later models,they also have independent suspension. Innerspring mattress poor. Drawbar weight on Drover can be quite high, mine is 235Kg. Tows very well & easy to setup. Make sure you get as many extras as possible with a S/H unit (awning, end walls, tropical roof) as Cub will wound you big time to buy from them at a later date. H/Duty wheel bearings not readily avail. from auto stores so make sure you take spares with you. Excellent value if compared to other hard floor campers. Quick & easy set up. Drover has the works so easy to live with. Poor door zip, crook mattress. Needs interior lights (easily fixed)

  HBF Health Insurance

If you can afford it, get it – After being a member for over 10 yrs I was run over by a Volvo ! Off work for 12mths but HBF paid my premiums until I was back at work That was in 1996. I lost my job in 2007 but

was hospitalised twice that year for elective surgery. Once again HBF paid all my medical bills & did not require me to pay premiums for 9 mths until I recovered & could afford to start payments again.

Can't complain about that. Easy to deal with, quick @ efficient claims. Not cheap, but then what good insurance is ?
