48V Questions and Answers
48V is what we have called a Revolution. But Revolution doesn't come without a lot of questions. Here, I attempt to answer as many as I can.
Buying a Used Land Cruiser
A Patreon/ASPW Experience member asked, I am considering buying a used Land Cruiser. Can you help? This is my response.
Jan blog. Voltage Drop and Our Insatiable Need for energy.
The subject of battery systems can be a bit dry. So get yourself some Classic Coke (my favourite) water (nature’s favourite) or white rum & coke (Heiner’s favourite) and let’s dive in. Sidestepping the risk of being a bit too dry, I’ll present this using a few analogies.
The Ultimate Predator. When JAWS became reality
In South Africa in the 50's, a real life JAWS story unfolded on the coast of Natal. This is that story told by Anthony White in a SABC radio program, produced in 1975.
Australia versus Africa Overland. A comparison
Join me as I compare two very different worlds of overland travel — Southern Africa and Australia. We’ll explore the landscapes, the challenges, the gear, the wildlife encounters, and the experiences that make each region unique.
From the dust‑red tracks and remote bush camps of Africa to the wide‑open outback and hidden trails of Australia, this video offers insights, contrasts, and refl
Expedition Breakdown. A tale with a twist
1986 and on a road far from home, and the Range Rover breaks down. And cannot be fixed.
48V. Not Evolution. But Revolution
Let me try to answer that for you . . . ● Because I don’t know how. ● If you’re talking about this mythical thing called 48V, it’s too complex and expensive. Once valid, these are no longer sound reasons. Enter the EGON DC-Hub 48V.
We are in the final stages of testing and will soon release the EGON Dc-Hub 48V. And like all Egon power distributor boards that massively simplify DC installa
Owning a 4×4 in Africa: My Troopy Logistics & Challenges
Owning a 4x4 in Africa sounds like a dream—but it comes with real logistical challenges. In this vlog, I open up about the complexities of running and maintaining my LandCruiser Troopy on the African continent. After owning five Troopies across Africa and Australia, I’m asking an honest question: Is it time to let this one go? This isn’t just about one vehicle—it’s about the realities of
“How I Beat the Greedy Bastards | The Extreme 16 Story”
They tried to cheat me. They thought I was just another contractor they could walk over—like so many others.
This is the story of Extreme 16—a 4x4 dealership project in South Africa, complete with a test track, big money promises, and even bigger egos. But behind the glossy vision were a group of developers who left subcontractors unpaid and tried to do the same to me.
Only this time… the
The Good Samaritan
Sometimes, help comes from the most unexpected places. In this deeply personal story, I recount a moment at Oliver Tambo International Airport, Johannesburg, where a stranger—someone I will never forget—stepped in at a critical moment. It’s a story of human kindness, vulnerability, and quiet heroism. This is why I tell stories. Because sometimes the smallest acts carry the deepest weight.

Why I Hate Baboons and Probably always will
Truth is, I don't really hate baboons. But I do dislike them. Quite a lot. And I just want them to stay away from me while I'm camping. But this run-in with them many years ago was not the first, but makes one of my best bush campfire stories. It took place in the Okavango when Gwynn and I ran Delta Camp (Tau Camp) and forms part of Torn Trousers, our bestselling memoir. ANDREW’S AWARD-WI
