I have been trying to contact Diesel Heating Australia for over a week, so I can purchase a Snugger heater. Left messages and emails but no response. Not a good look for their service. Does anyone know where else I can buy one in Sydney or Central Coast NSW? Thanks Patto

Have currently got the Hayman Reese "Compact" Brake Controller, but am unsure about its reliability as it has failed only 6 months in. Am I just unlucky or are there better options out there? Would appreciate any input - am towing Lotus Trooper 19'6 with Ford Ranger
