when i cleaned my filer at horsham on the way
home my first filter was chock a block and there was a little on my secondary , amazing what sand does(maybe i travelled a little too close to the leader? the
snorkel will help in the future i hope?
that
border track is awesome.
thanks for the trip experience peter (SA).

Hi Toony & all the gang
No problems at all with dust in the filter after 140Klm in
the desert, might have a lot to do with where the intake is located... We tend to do them daily after making
camp along with a general
check over for leaks, hoses, damage etc.
Have been told I can expect more dust with a
snorkel.
Hi Glenn re TLC 5 oldies & the rest were 1st timers that was the only bit of dirt road up to that time just coming back from Westprint at Nhill.
Must say though I like a dust free track ahead of me, and usually stay at the back of the convoy.
Don't know if u saw the
campground on the road u refered to, highly recommend it, I would say bigger than the CP plenty of loo's (dropbox but clean) plenty of good permant fire
places with swivel BBQ plate, plenty of wood, large semi open shed, tank water but not for drinking, nice trees etc B in B saturday night said no one goes there, cost us $5.30 per night, thats the reason we did not stay at Horse shoe Bend on Sunday ( to crowded & looked like a dust bowl)
Cheers
