The truckies are using them. Taxis are using them. Looks like a good idea. Some of the vision recorded shows narrow misses, and hits, but it establishes who was at fault fairly quickly. Would you install one?

Hi, This is my first post, though I have been reading bits for a while. I have been getting my vehicle ready for the great road trip, but will do a few small ones first to get used to it.

Lost my old tackle box on the weekend, and so needed to buy another. While the mind is on fishing gear, I wondered what others carry on the road. I only ever want to "wet a line" occasionally, and want a basic set up only. What do others carry?

That is, Palm Beach, north of Woodgate, Qld. The company was great, weather was great, but to be honest, I don't think I'll go again next year. Tenting and all that goes with it is just not for me any more. On a positive note, I enjoyed the time with family, and both my grandchildren together for once! My da...
