Vehicles and driving in Mossel Bay

Mossel Bay is a working harbour town on the N2 with a gas-to-liquids refinery, a fishing fleet and a busy holiday trade. Sea spray and the salty breeze off the bay corrode battery terminals, fuse boxes and towbar sockets faster than inland, so regular cleaning and sealing of electrical connections is worth doing. Hartenbos, Dana Bay and the coastal caravan parks fill up during school holidays, bringing motorhomes and caravans needing 12V system repairs. Industrial contractors run bakkies and light trucks with work lights, inverters and beacons, while the town's growing population of retirees keeps standard car electrical work in steady demand.
