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. Also in the above scenario, should I drain some power from the batteries from time to time or is this not necessary? Basically the c...

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...

Just curious about the most accurate way to weight Tow Ball Weight (I have one of those Towsafe TBW scales that go under the hitch) when my caravan is sitting on a sloping driveway?

Hi to all, hoping for help with finding out what these brackets on my Jeyco Sterling are used for or can be used for, have been told possibly a clothes line was attached. I bought caravan used, and do not have anything that would slide into these brackets, thanks in advance.

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...

I'm considering purchasing a Cinderella incinerating toilet for my van. Does anyone have any experience with Cinderella incinerating toilets? They sound great circumventing the need to empty a toilet cartridge every few days. Thanks Malcolm
