Gathering Goodies, Eezi Awn, National Luna from Equipt1.

I am putting together an order of a few of the major component necessary for a successful expedition. the Canadian dollar is doing good, and i found a freight company 2 hours away in Washington willing to hold my 300lb freight order for me. In the end I will save on shipping and customs charges, on small orders not a big deal but when you are talking something this big and expensive it just makes fiscal sense. Paul May from Equipt has been wonderful to deal with, answering my questions very fast and providing great representation for the quality products he distributes.

National Luna is a South African based company that has been building 12v off-road solutions for almost 30 years, National Luna refrigerators are designed for extreme environments where ambient temperatures can be above 43 degrees Celsius and battery power is scarce. Originally designed to meet World Health Organization specifications for transporting medicines in harsh African conditions, National Luna fridges are now the preferred choice for safari operators, caterers, mining companies, camper manufacturers and serious 4x4 enthusiasts. It is this mixture of performance and power use that has led us to choose the 95l stainless steel double door refrigerator.

Eezi Awn is another South African based company that has been involved in expeditions for close to 30 years. They supply what is arguably the highest quality roof top tents on the market. Their tents are made of 380g wax impregnated rip-stop cotton canvas, this is the most durable canvas used in RTT construction today, only Eezi Awn uses it. Canvas, the tent material used for many decades is the obvious choice when you want highly durable material that is waterproof, yet breathable. One thing that is very important to our family is a comfortable living space, the Eezi Awn 2200 Family sized tent seemed the best solution to fit this need. The 2200 has a internal divider and two ladders, this will let us put the kids down in one side and not disturb them later in the night when we come to bed. Measuring at 2440mm by 2200mm by 1300mm fully opened this is the best option for our family, at this time.
