I am contemplating buying a Toyota Hilux diesel 4x4 dual cab with canopy. Would it be easy enough to get a dual battery system and compressor fridge fitted in the ute. I am towing a 1985 jayco dove. cheers Hats

I know this has been on before, but a noisy water pump is not environment friendly at all . Just think if a Lyrebird would pick up that sound , pumps going off in the thickest off bush and you would wonder how the hell did they get that van up that hill ? I read in the previous post how to stop the noise , but I won...
