Why Buy A New Airstream Rooftop AC?Your Airstream rooftop AC has seen its best days and you are ready to replace it with a new unit. The newer rooftop units are more efficient and do a better job of cooling your Airstream than the older models ever did. This article is intended help you replace the old rooftop cooling unit yourself with very little effort on your part.The Airstream travel trailer in this article is a 1986 Airstream Sovereign with an old Coleman Mach rooftop air conditioner which had given good service over the years. The fan motor is giving problems and to replace it would cost too much money when a new unit could be purchased for a little over twice the price of repairs. Even if the fan motor was replaced, AC compressor is old and could malfunction at any time. This would necessitate spending more money on repairs than a new rooftop unit would cost. So the obvious solution was to install a new cooling unit on the Airstream Sovereign travel trailer. Choosing and Buying A New Airstream ACWe chose to go back with a Coleman 13,500 BTU rooftop AC because it had the same overhead clearance as the previous Coleman unit. Also, it came complete with the ceiling assembly and nothing else was needed, unlike some of the other units made by Carrier and Dometic. It was the best rooftop air conditioner for the money of those we researched, plus the ease of replacing a similar unit was taken in consideration. This same RV A/C is sold on this page along with other fine units made by Carrier and Dometic which are also well know for their efficiency and reliability.The choice is yours to decide as to the make and model of your new cooling unit and as they are all installed similarly, this article will work just as well for all of them. The new Coleman air conditioner arrived in only two days so we began by examining it closely to ascertain it wasn’t damaged while being shipped. It was in perfect shape and we were ready to begin the installation process. Removing The Old A/C Because of the shiny aluminum skin covering most Airstream travel trailers, it is very important to use proper support and padding to prevent damage to roof covering while replacing the rooftop unit. This includes removing the old unit carefully and cleaning the roof thoroughly before installing the new one in your Airstream.Be sure to disconnect the electrical power from the trailer before removing the old unit. Remove the old ceiling assembly and disconnect the main electrical line from the AC unit. If you are hesitant about doing the electrical connections yourself then have someone experienced do this for you. There are only three wires to disconnect and removing them should pose no problems for you at this time. Remove the 4 bolts used for attaching the old rooftop unit to the ceiling assembly. After removing the AC shroud by loosening the 4 nuts holding it in place, the old rooftop unit can be carefully removed and lowered to the ground. Airstream A/C Installation PreparationIn some cases the Airstream AC gasket has been treated with a sealant, perhaps several times over the many camping seasons. These sealants usually cause the old rooftop AC units to be stuck in place which requires using a thin putty knife to separate the old gasket from the Airstream roof. Carefully slide the putty knife beneath the old gasket until the unit can be easily removed. Remove any lingering roof coating adhesive with a strong solvent being careful not to let it discolor the area outside of the new gasket contact area. Check for any jagged edges or rough spots which could cause the gasket to allow moisture to seep through. This is a very important step to prevent leaks around the new rooftop AC unit.You are now ready to transport the new unit to the rooftop of your Airstream travel trailer. Unless you are very strong you will need some help with this job. Be very careful if using ladders as it is easy to lose your balance while lifting the new air condtioner. First, remove the new protective shroud to facilitate ease of handling and placement. Installing The New RV Air Conditioner Situating the new rooftop AC unit correctly requires some help to keep from having to go up and down the ladder several times to check both inside, and on the rooftop, to correctly align the new unit. By loosely connecting the 4 retaining bolts through the ceiling flange, you can move the new rooftop unit around until it is evenly spaced in the 14” square duct hole in the Airstream roof.Once you have the new unit in the right spot you can tighten the bolts which compresses the new gasket and insure a watertight seal. If you purchased the optional heating element for your rooftop AC, proceed to install it according to the enclosed directions. This is a simple plug in assembly for electrical connections.Connect the Airstream line electrical wires to the new AC unit by using wire nuts and replacing the cover of the junction box. The ceiling assembly is usually attached by 4 screws to the ceiling flange. Install the new rooftop AC shroud with the 4 retaining nuts. Reconnect the power supply to the Airstream and the job is finished. Using and maintaining your new Airstream ACTest the new unit to ensure everything is working correctly with no circuit breakers kicking off. Now you are ready to stay cool for many seasons to come while enjoying your classic Airstream travel trailer. Good luck on the installation and congratulations on the money you will save by installing the rooftop unit on your Airstream yourself. By doing annual maintenance such as cleaning the coils and oiling the AC fan motor, you will ensure proper efficiency and cooling of your Airstream travel trailer for many years of camping enjoyment for you and your future grandchildren.

took my trusty road bike out for 40 miles or so on a nice indian summer new england countryside day.
Port Augusta. Population 14,100.
Pt Augusta has a population of 14,000 people of which almost 20% are of Aboriginal descent. Nationally 3.8% of the Australian population is Aboriginal. Port Augusta is the fourth largest town outside Adelaide after Mt Gambier, Whyalla and Murray Bridge. Part of the reason for the current large Aboriginal population of Port Augusta stems from the early establishment of an Aboriginal mission near the city. In 1937 the Christian Brethren Assemblies established an Aboriginal mission in the sand hills just north of the town. The mission was originally called Umeewarra. In 1964 the government took control of the mission and renamed it Davenport Reserve and in 1968 an Aboriginal community council took charge of the Reserve. During the 1970s most of the Aboriginal children fostered out to white families came from Davenport Reserve. Davenport Reserve closed in 1995. Sadly it has been in the news recently for vandalism, degradation of facilities and youth crime rates.
Matthew Flinders mapped the Port Augusta area in 1802. Europeans named it Port Augusta (after Governor Fox Young’s wife) on May 24 1852 when a survey was undertaken. Land was put up for auction in 1854 signalling the start of the town. Previous to this in 1851 the first leases had been granted to pastoralists in the nearby Flinders Ranges - to James Paterson and Messers White and Pollhill. The story of Port Augusta’s growth after this time was influenced by a series of major milestones which developed its industrial and iron/steel usage.
Firstly it was the growth of the port for wool and copper ore. By 1854 pastoral runs in the Flinders Ranges were carting wool to the town for transhipment to England. Then by around 1857, copper was being transported from the Blinman copper mines for shipment overseas. Some copper was smelted in the port before shipment. The Blinman mining company erected their own wharf in Port Augusta in 1863, the first of several private and government wharves. Consequently one of the first significant buildings in the town was the Customs House and Harbour Masters house, erected in 1861 on the site of the present day yacht club. The first bank in this growing commercial centre was the National Bank opened in Gibson Street in 1863. In later years grain and flour from the mills in Quorn and Wilmington were shipped out from the port too. Alexander Tassie was one of the first settlers and the leading merchant in early Port Augusta thus the naming of Tassie Street. Large pastoral companies, like Sir Thomas Elder’s company which had been set up in the town in 1855, had their own wharves. During the 1880s Port Augusta was the second port for the state after Port Adelaide before Port Pirie surpassed it. It finally closed as a working port in 1974. Before that time railway engines, and all sorts of heavy equipment and supplies were all shipped to Port Augusta and lifted from the sailing ships and steamers by cranes.
Second the town got a reliable water supply. In 1865 a water pipe was laid from springs on Woolundunga Station, 14 miles away from Port Augusta. To protect this vital resource the state government stationed a Water Works Superintendent in Port Augusta and built the Water Works Barracks on the town square to house the guards and generally control the town. The heritage listed barracks were erected in 1862 with a Water Works Office next door facing on to Gladstone Square.
Third Port Augusta boomed with the construction of the Overland Telegraph from Port Augusta to Darwin which provided the first cable connection between England and an Australian city- Adelaide. Sir Charles Todd was in charge of the 2,300 kms line which was a remarkable engineering achievement across harsh, sparsely populated, terrain from Port Augusta to Darwin. Everything for the start of the Overland Telegraph from horses, camels, bullocks, hundreds of miles of copper wire, insulators, batteries for repeater stations at every 250 kms (13 in total), supplies for the men and posts for the actual line were unloaded on the wharf in Port Augusta. The line was completed in 1872 after two years of work and the erection of 36,000 poles. Port Augusta already had a telegraph to Adelaide and overseas cables had reached Darwin allowing telegrams to be sent to London. The isolation of Australia stopped by the efforts of Port Augusta. The telegraph was replaced in the early 1970s by microwave radio relays.
Fourth the town was chosen as the site for the Commonwealth Railways to have their major base. When the Federal parliament passed a bill to build a transcontinental railway from Port August across the Nullarbor Plain to Kalgoorlie this provided a rail connection from Eastern Australia to Perth and Western Australia. The building of this railway was to fulfil a promise upon which Western Australia joined the Australian Federation in 1900.
Fifth the Playford government passed legislation to establish a state wide electricity supplier using brown coal mines being developed at Leigh Creek. The first major power station in South Australia was then to be built in Port Augusta.
Industrially Port Augusta was also boosted by thirsty male workers. The first hotel, the Port Augusta Hotel, was licensed in 1855. In 1864 the Northern Hotel was first licensed. More hotels were built and licensed so that by 1878 there were six hotels in the town! Once the railway to Quorn opened the first Railway Terminus Hotel was licensed in 1880. The brewery, which is now part of the Northern Gateway Shopping Centre, first started operations in the early 1870s. In 1879 it was greatly extended by new owners with a high tower, large cellars and more machinery. It faces on to Gladstone Square. Aerated waters were produced as well as beer. Mr. Perrers, the brewery owner also owned the Laura brewery in the 1890s. He sold both breweries to SA Brewing Company in 1894 which closed them. The town had other industries as in 1880 John Dunn, the flour miller from Mt Barker with mills in many SA towns, opened his flour mill in Port Augusta. It received grain by train from Hawker and Quorn districts. The mill finally burnt down in 1926. It was the opening of the Great Northern railway in 1878 which prompted Dunn to build his flour mill. The railway reached Quorn in 1880, Hawker soon afterwards and Farina in 1882.
The 1860s to the 1880s were boom years for the town and it progressed greatly. Private schools were replaced by the first government school in 1878; the Anglican Church opened in 1868; the first Bible Christian Church had opened earlier in 1866 and was replaced in 1885. The large Catholic Church was built in 1883. A few years later the first Catholic Bishop of Port Augusta diocese was appointed and the first cathedral services held in the church in 1888. The first Bishop resided in Port Augusta, the second Bishop lived in Pekina and the third moved his Bishop’s Palace and the Pro Cathedral to Peterborough in 1912. The seat of the diocese was moved from Port Augusta to Port Pirie in 1951 when the Diocese became the diocese of Port Pire. The town’s Post Office was built in 1866 with a telegraph service to Adelaide starting in 1871. The town’s first newspaper started in 1877; the corporation of Port Augusta was gazetted in 1875. A wharf had been established in 1871 at Port Augusta West. A wooden hut served as the first police station in Point Augusta from around 1855 where Mr. Minchin the Sub-Protector of Aborigines also worked. It was sent by ship from Port Adelaide and assembled upon being landed. A second wooden Police Station and Courthouse was built in 1867. It was replaced in 1884 by the grand stone Courthouse. Note the VR insignia for Victoria Regina above the doors of the old Courthouse. The big event of this decade was the start of the train service to Quorn in 1878 reaching Quorn in 1882 and it was finally extended to Marree by 1884.
From 1875 the first council meetings were held in the old Institute building in Commercial Street. The corporation then borrowed £6,000 for the erection of a Town Hall suitable for a progressive town like Port Augusta. This impressive classical style building next to the Institute was sadly vacant for decades. It has recently been restored and operates as an up-market motel. The building was made of stone quarried near Quorn, with Ionic columns and a square tower topped with a pyramidal dome and cupola. The summit was 72 feet above the footpath! From its opening day in 1887 the Town Hall had electric lighting from its own generating supply thanks to the efforts of a local Councillor and the superintendent of Water Works in Port Augusta Mr Hullett. In 1885 he developed a small hydraulic engine plant at his residence to provide electric lighting for his dining room. This was the first house in SA to have electricity. Mr Hullett was responsible for the electricity plant for the opening of the Town Hall. Also in 1884 he invented and patented a double track railway truck. In 1886 he presented the Council with a plan for electric street lighting in Port Augusta. Power was to be supplied by Dunn and Co millers on the wharf. When the lights of the Town Hall were first switched on the town was agog with the new marvel of electric lighting. The 1881 census showed that Port Augusta had over 2,100 citizens. The first bridge across the Gulf to Port Augusta West opened in 1927 and the town received its first reliable water supply in 1944 from the Morgan to Whyalla water pipeline. There is a memorial arbour to Ada Woodcock in front of the old Institute as she was a long time Councillor, a community worker and writer of the social columns of the Port Augusta newspaper.
In 1888, John Henry Reid discovered coal-bearing shale in the Leigh Creek area. This discovery led to the establishment of underground workings but only small quantities of coal were extracted and operations ceased in 1894. It was not until 1940 that work started again on searching for useable coal, with plans for an open cut mine. Premier Sir Thomas Playford saw that the electricity supply industry would be the largest user of Leigh Creek coal, and control of the coalfield was transferred by the government to the Electricity Trust of South Australia in 1948 by act of parliament. The story behind this is one of the drive, foresight and determination of Premier Sir Thomas Playford. SA was the only state with no good supplies of coal and during World War Two SA was left with no power supply on occasions due to strikes and war needs in NSW. Playford wanted SA to be self-reliant for power but the progress to develop brown coal for power generation was difficult. Brown coal had not been used anywhere in the world, and some scientists said it could never be used, to produce electricity. SA pioneered its use. The first bill introduced to parliament was defeated in the Legislative Council. Playford then courted some upper house members and finally got his bill through parliament to establish the coal field in 1946. He had started out on this course in 1943. Part of the political deal was to supply electricity to country towns and regions. If the bill had been defeated Playford would have resigned.
ETSA had control of the coal field and after seeking tenders for special boilers to burn the brown coal at the Osborne Power Station, decided to establish a power station at Port Augusta. The new power station was named the Playford power station when it opened in 1954. A second power station was built in 1963 and together they produced around 70% of SA’s electricity in the 1960s and reduced to about 40% once Torrens Island power station opened in 1967. Both Port Augusta power station are now closed (2016) and totally demolished. They used to employ around 450 people in Port Augusta and Leigh Creek but sadly that has all ended too. The Leigh Creek coalfields closed in April of 2016 with SA reverting to reliance on the eastern states of Australia through a probably unstable interstate connector, supplemented with wind and solar power from SA.
With Federation in 1901 came the promise to build a transcontinental railway line to link Kalgoorlie (and Perth) with Port Augusta and the eastern states. In 1912 the Commonwealth Railways was formed to build the transcontinental line from Port Augusta to Kalgoorlie. Like the Overland Telegraph this was major engineering feat through harsh, waterless country with extremes of temperatures. Politicians wavered and it was 1907 before the legislation for the route survey was passed and 1911 before the money bills were also passed and agreed upon. The first ships with materials from Newcastle steel rails and sleepers to tools arrived on Port Augusta wharves in 1912. Similar materials were railed to Kalgoorlie at the other end. The line was to be 1,700 kms long. Up to 4 kms of track was laid each day and it took about 2.5 million sleepers with about 1.3m landed at Port Augusta. The two tracks met at Ooldea in October 1917. One of the first engine drivers for one leg of the trip from Port Augusta to Kalgoorlie was George Hogan, Anne Woodcock’s grandfather. With the railway completed Port Augusta became a hub for Commonwealth Railways. South Australian Railways also serviced Port Augusta with a line to Adelaide via Quorn and Peterborough. In 1937 that changed to a direct line via Port Pirie.
The Commonwealth government established their major railway workshops in Port Augusta which became a major employer in the town. Around 85% of the Commonwealth Railways tracks were focussed on Port Augusta. Over the years the Commonwealth Railways added more lines to Sth Aust. with a new line to the Leigh Creek coalfields in 1956, by passing Pichi Richi and Quorn. They extended that line to Maree where a change of gauge occurred for the continuing Old Ghan railway to Alice Springs. Commonwealth Railways also built a new line to Whyalla in 1972.
After the bombing of Darwin the Commonwealth Railways decided all railway station signage should be removed, and all stations and the Port Augusta workshops were to have blackout conditions. This was relaxed some time later when the Japanese threat was less likely. Also during the war there was a great shortage of labour and so for the first time in 1942 the Commonwealth railways employed 33 women as train cleaners. The CR also used some 300 Italian prisoners of war in six work camps along the transcontinental line to assist fettlers and track maintenance. After the war in 1952 CR introduced diesel electric engines to obviate the need for good water supplies across the Nullarbor Plain. This had always been a problem. The engines were made by Clyde Engineering in Sydney and shipped to Port Augusta and unload on the wharf. From then onwards they were overhauled and maintained in the Port Augusta workshops. Most of the passenger carriages were totally made in Port Augusta and rolling stock and freight cars were overhauled there too. By 1951 some 350 men were employed in the railway workshops plus the clerical staff, the supplies store staff and train crew members. Commonwealth Railways was the major employer with well over a 1,000 employees based in and around Port Augusta and scores more out on the railway lines from Port Augusta. This figure doubled to about 2,000 employees in the 1970s and 1980s. The Stores department not only provided uniforms, fuel, materials etc but they also provided groceries, fresh meat, clothing and more to the fettlers and their families stretched across western SA and the Nullarbor Plain. The famous Tea and Sugar train carted these supplies and medical supplies to these isolated people. For the children Father Christmas made the journey as well in December each year. Little remains of the extensive railway workshops in Port Augusta but the scale and importance of them can still be gauged from visiting that area.
In 1975, just 8 days after the federal election Premier Don Dunstan gave the South Australian Railway network to Prime Minster Gough Whitlam and the federal government. The deal was arranged between the two men before the federal election. Most of the South Australian Railways staff were transferred to the Commonwealth Railways albeit reluctantly in some cases. A little later Commonwealth Railways took over the Tasmanian railways too and Commonwealth Railways became Australian National Railways. From 1980 it was known as Australian National. In 1980 Australian National built a new line from Tarcoola to Alice Springs resulting in the closure of the old line through Leigh Creek and Maree. This project included a spur line from Pimba to Woomera. In 1997 when Australian National was wound up, the sale cost the federal government around $2 billion dollars as the system had failed and was not successful. Around $779 million was owed in debt and $580 million was needed for superannuation liabilities etc. Passenger services were privatised at that time with Great Southern Rail taking them over and then they basically closed all lines down except for the Adelaide Perth line and the Adelaide Sydney line through Broken Hill and the Adelaide Melbourne line. Shortly afterwards in 1998 Australian RailTrack Corporation (government) was formed to own and control the tracks and left most of South Australia’s rail network to rot or to be removed. However, in 1997 there was hope of new railway to Darwin which was completed in January 2004 when the first freight train rolled out of Port Augusta on its way to Darwin and the enlarged Port of Darwin. It too is operated by Great Southern Rail.
The current major employer of Port Augusta, since the closure of the two ETSA power stations, is the high security prison. The Port Augusta Prison houses 617 prisoners including a special unit for 36 Aboriginal offenders and another for about 25 female offenders. The first prison was built in Port Augusta in 1869 and it remained with little change or additions until 1972 when a new prison as built at Stirling North. This 1972 prison has since been upgraded. The old prison was known as Greenbush and nearly all prisoners were Aboriginal and Aboriginal people still make up a high proportion of inmates at Stirling North. Port Augusta prison is the largest regional prison in SA and employs around 400 workers.

Small Group Discussion: Preparing Reliable and Secure Energy Solutions for Climate Change Adaptation
Energy producers, suppliers, and distributors deliver life-sustaining and life-saving energy services every minute of every day. As the world experiences climate-related shifts, including changing weather patterns and rising sea levels, energy resources and infrastructure are often severely impacted. Although not traditionally considered part of emergency response teams, energy companies are changing the paradigm by exploring ways to shore up energy infrastructure and secure energy resources. Many utilities and power producers have already invested in innovative improvements that ensure continual power delivery and rapid power recovery during and after extreme weather and damaging geologic events. In addition, in places where power grids are most vulnerable or non-existent, distributed and renewable energy technology companies are poised to provide back-up and off-grid energy solutions.
In this session, participants will:
• Explore opportunities for collaboration on the design and transfer of simple, scalable energy solutions that address climate change adaptation and disaster preparedness.
• Discuss how to develop new solutions and adapt existing technologies for specific climates and geographies in order to increase secure, transportable, and back-up energy solutions around the world.
• Share lessons learned from existing efforts and methods for their application across the energy industry.

Small Group Discussion: Preparing Reliable and Secure Energy Solutions for Climate Change Adaptation
Energy producers, suppliers, and distributors deliver life-sustaining and life-saving energy services every minute of every day. As the world experiences climate-related shifts, including changing weather patterns and rising sea levels, energy resources and infrastructure are often severely impacted. Although not traditionally considered part of emergency response teams, energy companies are changing the paradigm by exploring ways to shore up energy infrastructure and secure energy resources. Many utilities and power producers have already invested in innovative improvements that ensure continual power delivery and rapid power recovery during and after extreme weather and damaging geologic events. In addition, in places where power grids are most vulnerable or non-existent, distributed and renewable energy technology companies are poised to provide back-up and off-grid energy solutions.
In this session, participants will:
• Explore opportunities for collaboration on the design and transfer of simple, scalable energy solutions that address climate change adaptation and disaster preparedness.
• Discuss how to develop new solutions and adapt existing technologies for specific climates and geographies in order to increase secure, transportable, and back-up energy solutions around the world.
• Share lessons learned from existing efforts and methods for their application across the energy industry.

Jorunna onubensis Cervera, García-Gómez & García, 1986,
is very similar to J. tomentosa; reliable identification of this species requires examination of dissected anatomical features and, ideally, D.N.A sequencing. The external features below are described in the original description of J. onubensis [based on four intertidal specimens from Huelva, southern Spain]. The features illustrated in this Flickr account are on a specimen from Catalonia of J. onubensis identified by Miquel Pontes and confirmed by Prof. J. Lucas Cervera. Many features are common to both J. onubensis and J. tomentosa; confirmation by dissection and/or D.N.A, sequencing is desirable. Specimens of J. onubensis photographed by one of the authors of its first published description, J. C. García Gómez, can be seen at opistobranquis.info/en/guia/nudibranchia/euctenidiacea/do...

9: Posterior of foot protrudes slightly when in motion.
Jorunna tomentosa
1: Length up to 30 mm (Neuhaus et al, 2021), 55 mm (Thompson and Brown, 1984), often a similar size to Doris pseudoargus.
2: Dorsally, sandy-brown 1Jt flic.kr/p/EjpcXr , reddish brown, grey-white, grey-cream, yellow 2Jt flic.kr/p/K2ALfV , yellow cream 3Jt flic.kr/p/EjpceH , buff-orange, or white 4Jt flic.kr/p/K2AJ14. Small opaque white glandular structures near periphery of mantle 3Jt flic.kr/p/EjpceH but sometimes not discernible 1Jt flic.kr/p/EjpcXr . Usually, scattered small dark spots and a few dark blotches in a longitudinal row on each side 5Jt flic.kr/p/EjpbfP ; sometimes blotches absent, or few and small 11Jt flic.kr/p/22B75ok and occasionally the small spots are absent.
3: Mantle has crowded, small, match-like, retractile tubercles (caryophyllidia) 8Jt flic.kr/p/K2AFXB with a ring of sharp projecting spicules surrounding the rounded apex. Body has velvety appearance and soft feel.
4: Large yellow-cream to grey gills around brown anal papilla 2Jt flic.kr/p/K2ALfV & 4Jt flic.kr/p/K2AJ14 . Gills are often paler than the mantle and sometimes have dark dots.
5: Base of extended gills surrounded by distinct collar-like sheath 9Jt flic.kr/p/22B7oGe which closes over the gills when they are retracted into a pit 12Jt flic.kr/p/22B7nRM .
6: Slender tapered oral tentacles 15Jt flic.kr/p/K2AEjX .

Still a reliable design in spite of its age, the Ice Planet MOD of the M:Tron Particle Ionizer light armed transport – officially the Ice Ionizer – still remains in service with reserve units of the Ice Planet Defense Force. Ice Ionizers dropped a generation of Ice Troopers into many a cold LZ.
The very solid, reliable old Cessna 150! Great little bird! Growing up, my Dad, who is a pilot, would take us up in these pretty regularly and it was so much fun! Taken at Sierra Sky Park in Fresno.
Hong Kong Transport - Trucks
The Hong Kong Truck Culture
The number of Trucks, Vans* and Special Purpose Vehicles (Light, Medium & Heavy) registered + licenced in Hong Kong seems to fluctuate between 120,000 - 125,000 vehicles and presumably new trucks registered are offset by old trucks being retired or sold over the border in China.
*Vans are classified as Light Goods Vehicles and are not shown in this album
In Hong Kong Trucks are classified as GOODS VEHICLES By the Transport Department - see below
☛Light Goods Vehicles - Goods vehicles of permitted gross vehicle weight not exceeding 5.5 tonnes.
☛Medium Goods Vehicles - Goods vehicles of permitted gross vehicle weight exceeding 5.5 tonnes but not exceeding 24 tonnes.
☛Heavy Goods Vehicles - Goods vehicles of permitted gross vehicle weight exceeding 24 tonnes but not exceeding 38 tonnes.
The major truck types you tend to see in urban areas are trucks carrying construction materials or waste, dump trucks, concrete mixers and all sizes of delivery trucks... outside of the urban areas it is container trucks and large trucks carrying construction materials.
The following brands of Trucks can be seen on the streets of Hong Kong and include:-
Beiben ✚ Bell ✚ CAMC ✚ CNHTC ✚ DAF ✚ Dennis ✚ Dong Feng ✚ FAW ✚ Fuso ✚ Foton ✚ Ford ✚ Hino ✚ Howo ✚ Hyundai ✚ Isuzu ✚ Iveco ✚ JAC ✚ Kato ✚ KIA ✚ Liebherr ✚ MAN ✚ Mercedes Benz ✚ Mitsubishi ✚ Nissan ✚ Renault ✚ Scania ✚ Shacman ✚ Sinotruk ✚ Suzuki ✚ Toyota ✚ UD ✚ Volvo ✚ Zoomlion
Hong Kong is a brand conscious place even for trucks (!) hence the popularity of the European brands, Scania and Man are very popular and even the older trucks look the business and they are utterly reliable.
Isuzu is the market leader in terms of sale volume for all types of trucks.

I've always wanted to do a billboard poster. Somewhere along EDSA or on the train of MRT. So guys from Levi's, have a look at this and you can print this without charges. Provided that I'll receive a pair of your jeans twice a month for a year, hahaha... (dream on, Allman, dream on)
Enough of the impossibilities. Just have a wonderful Sunday, everyone.
