    Hi all, Been looking at all the kit needed for my Africa trip. And today it's snorkels. From what I've found so far, they seem to vary in price from £60 - £200+ Is there really that much difference between them to justify that price differential? Any and all thoughts welcome :) ...

  23. ARB fridge.

    I have just bought an ARB fridge for my 90, it comes with a 12/24v plug and connector, it also comes with what I assume is an Australian 2 pin plug, can I replace the 2 pin plug with a UK spec 3 pin plug, or do I need to use a travel adapter?
