Out on the Tracks with the Outpost AT from Nokian Tyres
The new Outpost AT provides on- and off-road drivers with versatile, durable driving in all conditions. The aggressive tread is designed to help SUVs, crossovers and pickups navigate tough off-road challenges, the tyre is reinforced with Aramid Shield™ – these are puncture-resistant Aramid fibres embedded beneath the tread to provide extreme resistance to rugged surfaces and road hazards. And we have certainly found these tyres to be tougher than previous tyres across a range of tough conditions. These New tread design elements help drivers to feel more comfortable and secure on challenging terrain. Certified with the three-peak mountain snowflake, the tyre’s adaptable rubber compound offers a comfortable, confident ride on any surface and in any weather, courtesy of the company that invented winter tyres.

Keeping it Chill with the The ENGEL MT-V35F Portable Fridge Freezer
Engel fridges are known for their performance and for holding their internal temperature even in the hottest environments. Reliability, performance, efficiency and robust quality are all essential features of Engel products, and this new fridge freezer from Engel is no exception.
The Engel MT-V35F 32L Portable Fridge/Freezer features the latest world-renowned Sawafuji swing motor which provides almost unbelievable cooling and power efficiency with VERY low consumption. The single-zone device can be used as either a fridge or a freezer and as a freezer can reach a temperature of -18C. The latest electronics include a built-in battery monitor and digital thermostat control which allows for easy control of temperature. The fridge also maintains its internal temperature regardless of external/ambient temperature changes. The battery monitor (high , low and off settings) provides high or low battery protection (depending on whether you are running the fridge on your starter or a leisure battery). The very low consumption of this unit enables you to enjoy cold food and drinks for an extended period while on the road.

Vehicle Window Guards - Secure Your Gear
A couple of issues back we had a look and ways to prevent your pride and joy from being stolen and how modern technology with apps for your phone has helped in protecting your vehicle from thieves. Sadly the trend in vehicle theft and theft from vehicles, in many countries, doesn’t look to be decreasing anytime soon, and worse still, high among the most desirable vehicles for the highly organised gangs that steal many of these vehicles to order and then ship them abroad are Land Rover Defenders and other kitted out 4×4 vehicles that we use and love. But there are other ways to increase the security of your vehicle and the gear that it contains, and some of these are in the form of window guards.
We recently installed the Mobile Storage Systems Defender Window Guards on the 90 and since completing this job it has given us added peace of mind when leaving the Defender with all of our gear in it unattended All of our guards are manufactured from heavy-duty non-rusting material and finished in a textured black powder coating.

The DARCHE Air-Volution Swag AD 900
Swags have evolved significantly over the years, from simple designs to some very innovative options that come in all shapes and sizes. DARCHE has taken the design of swags to the next level with the Dome Swag entering the market a couple of decades ago. Designed to withstand harsh conditions, the DARCHE swag range is more than impressive and we can honestly say that camping on a swag with a stretcher is one of the most comfortable ways to camp.
Heading into its 31st year, DARCHE revolutionised the traditional swag market with the introduction of some very innovative models. Having had a chance to use some of the DARCHE progressive ranges like the Dirty Dee, the Dusk To Dawn and the Nebula now all available in the UK, Europe the US and around the world, we recently got to experience using the revolutionary Air-volution AD 900 on a recent trip to France. The Air-Volution replaces traditional swag poles with easy and fast to set up air poles.

The Outpost AT - All Terrain Tyre from Nokian Tyres
We recently had a chance to try out the new Nokian Tyres Outpost AT All-Terrain tyre. Exploring some forest and mountain tracks, things often got steep and very muddy en route to our final camping destination for the evening. What can we say? We were very impressed by the performance of this tyre, maintaining its grip and traction on all wheels and expelling mud and grit with ease, we never once got stuck, in fact throughout 2 days of driving over muddy mountain tracks we never once got stuck, slowed down or had a wheel spin.

DARCHE 2nd Generation 270 Awning
Following our recent trip to Germany, we got a chance to use some of the latest products added to the Landy, and one of these products was the Generation 2, 270-degree Eclipse awning.
https://www.turas.tv/2022/01/the-2nd-generation-eclipse-270-awning-from-darche/
A couple of years ago DARCHE took the concept of an enclosed walled awning to an entirely new level with extended poles and the launch of the Eclipse 270°Awning. The Eclipse 270° Awning is a class-leading design that stood out when it comes to innovation and the sheer amount of covered space that this awning with its walls attached provides. The Generation 2 awning is now made from premium 320gsm (Originally 260) rip-stop polycotton canvas and has an impressive PU 1500mm water rating plus seam sealing that will keep you dry in extended rainy conditions. The kit also includes a removable, heavy-duty 600gsm PVC cover for protection when you’re on the road. Another key upgrade is the Aluminium Hinge System. Hinged from both ends, the awning pans along the full length of the vehicle, as well as the rear, offering additional undercover area compared to other general market offerings. With new clear PVC windows and solid window flaps, you will get all the wind and weather protection as with the traditional solid walls set, plus the added benefit of letting in the light on gloomy days.
