WATER TROUBLES
SUITABLE not just for remote-area touring, the Ironman
4x4 low-water alarm kit is a great addition to any city
runabout. The kit’s technology has the ability to sense a
negative current in the radiator water, and when the water
drops below one of two probes, an alarm and warning light
activate before there is even movement in the temperature
gauge. The kit suits 12- and 24-volt systems and plastic or
metal header tanks. Get one before it is too late!
RRP: $199

NOTHING beats devouring a piping-hot jaffle in the middle of
winter. The ARB Toastie Brander consists of two cast-iron plates,
and the handles are formed from Manchurian ash timber. Not only
will it melt two pieces of bread together with cheese and tomato,
it will also brand the ARB logo onto both sides. Granted, this does
nothing to enhance the flavour of an already glorious item of
campsite cuisine, but it’s a great novelty on an awesome product.
