I'd like another set like this which resists being knocked out of kilter by truck blast from the opp...

Just wondering if it is okay to leave a caravan with its solar panels exposed whilst not using any power and if the constant charge is detrimental to the lithium batteries.

I spent last summer camped in the forests of East Gippsland, Victoria. It was hot and very dry and we had some serious bushfires. Because I now have a caravan I usually have to camp in the larger camping areas which can accommodate a number of vans or tents. Last year I made it my habit to check camp fires af...

Yep, I have no projects labeled as urgent, everything on board is working. Even going to a caravan show today, nothing to buy, just look. I may do some home work on a lithium up-grade to our batteries, but its not urgent. Just serviced the van, here's to another nap!

Hi all on this glorious, sunny, Sunday afternoon (well from where I sit anyway!) Is there such a thing as CARAVAN CLUBS in Perth WA? One gets a bit tired of all your old fart friends that you can rarely get off the couch and get moving. If there are such things, like 4 wheel drive clubs but for caravanners, t...
