TOOLS, VEHICLE SPARES & CAMPING EQUIPMENT TO TAKE
|
|
This list is not, by any means, a definitive list of items to be taken on a trip
into Outback Australia. It is governed, to some degree, by the capacity of the
vehicle to carry everything necessary to survive and allow us, it's passengers,
to enjoy the trip. Also, the MMTCA envisages there would be mutual support to
share loads and common spares among many vehicles.
It is highly recommended to fit an electronic fuel pump in lieu of the ordinary SU Fuel pump.
This will help to overcome Fuel starvation in the heat of outback Australia and the Tropics.
