Kumho tyres

Those of you who are regular followers of our Blog would be familiar with our story on the trial and reporting of the Kumho Roadventure SAT on our Landcruiser. Well after another pleasant visit to Tyrepower Sunbury, we had the tyres rotated and balanced and a visual check to see how they are going after 35,000klms they are performing as stated. by that I mean they are going really well. Of course they are showing signs of wear and degradation but not to the extent that I have seen other types of tyres after that many kilometres.They still have a lot of "meat" on them.
The rain over the last week or so has also given us a chance to try these tyres in the mud. We are currently in the goldfields of central Victoria and the back roads are usually gravel but with over 45mls of rain they have turned to a much stickier consistency. Needless to say, this is NOT extreme 4wdriving but the tyres worked a treat anyway. No sign of slippage or skidding, or any other problem. Now we have covered the whole gambit, bitumen surface, with hardly any road noise, deep fine sand, no need to engage low range or to adjust tyre pressures, and now light mud on clay based roads after heavy rain...All Good..

Treetops Scout Camp

There is something special about Treetops Scout Camp at Riddells Creek. We have stayed here several times over the last couple of years and keep coming back. Is it the serenity? Yes Is it the proximity to Melbourne? Yes Is it the scenery? Yes

There is no doubt about it, treetops ticks all the boxes and being less than 40 klms from the Melbourne GPO makes it ideal for that stopover to and from Tassie, the ideal spot for that family reunion with both cabins and bunkhouse style of accommodation along with the expanding area of powered sites.

This time. we have based ourselves here for the Caravan and Camping Supershow at Caulfield race course. We simply drove the couple of klms back into town and caught the regular train service through to Southern Cross station, hopped aboard another train heading to Caulfield and were there in about an hour.We also have family at nearby Romsey so the location of Treetops has been great.

It's much dryer here than we have ever seen it before. Compare the two photos. Top one is current and the other photo was taken in November 2013.

Clear View Mirrors

Have a look at how well these mirrors line up with the outside of the caravan. You cannot believe how brilliant these are compared to the clip on slide down the inside of the windows and clip on to the bottom of the door type mirrors that I used to have. The electronics just join up click, click. Mirror adjustment is still from the inside because their is no cut and shunt with wiring. The bottom section of the mirror is ALL blind spot so you can see vehicles approaching from behind on either side, no problems. These are GREAT.make your enquiries through your local stockist, auto shop or give them a call at Campbellfield 03 9308 8053 and of course, tell 'em Bruce sent you
