Tips & Tech

When it comes to occasional off-roading, weekends at the ski resort, towing and outback track touring, these electronic conveniences will dramatically improve your experience.  Before heading out on any serious adventures, find out what electronic aids your vehicle has, what they do and when and how to use them. 

The debate surrounding the merits of petrol and diesel engines has been raging for decades. Diesel engines are often lauded as the best choice due to their ability to generate high low-end torque and effective engine braking, but there’s much more to it than that.

All-wheel and four-wheel drive vehicles are not all created equal. Their vastly distinct capabilities stem from purpose-driven design cues that cater to a variety of purposes and a range of users.

We want to see the adventures you're taking with #HemaMaps and we want to share a few of our favourites.

Weight is a massively important consideration when towing, we simply cannot over-emphasise the gravity of the matter. It may not be something you've had to consider in the past, but every tow-vehicle and trailer are subject to weight limits – camper and vehicle manufacturers perform extensive testing to establish these limits.

Once you veer off the black-top and reach the end of the graded-gravel roads, obstacles are made all the more challenging with a trailer in tow.

Communications are vitally important when you head into remote parts of Australia, and there are plenty of options depending on your needs.

We're privileged to experience some of the more remote wilderness areas in the country, and as users of these spaces it is also our responsibility to look after them.

A rig without a power winch can still recover from a tricky situation, all it takes is a little know-how and some gear that'll fit almost any budget.
