Just bought an accessory solar blanket. It has an attached controller. Should i just bypass this controller since the main collectors on the roof feed into controllers anyway. Two controllers seems unnecessary? Young Brodie

The Boss and I are hoping to spend some time in Europe next year and were thinking of renting a Campervan in France. The rental market looks like a bit of a mine field!

Hi all, bit new to Australian camping and first time poster here. Cheers This is our query: So we arrive at a nice camping ground, pick a nice shady spot [non-powered].

Got a Honda EG5500CXS generator that's part of an offgrid solar setup (set to turn on when battery SOC drops below 20%). Strange thing has started happening recently... after the generator has been on standby (switch = 'on') for a few days, a beeping starts happening. If I turn the generator off, an...

Late last year we finally got our campervan. The one in the Avatar. It's an early 2022 model KEA Nomad. (Sprinter) We really like it and are having fun with it. But I'm not in love with the stickers on it. I was thinking of just removing them, leaving the van plain white. Or maybe even adding a 'wrap' o...

Am amazed at the poor water quality some outback towns have. And some not so far away wera nice and sweet. Not usually a problem for me since I treat all water going into the tank with Hydrogen Peroxide. But I see and smell some others struggling with horrible water and having to buy water by the litre. ...

Hi Everyone, I'm struggling a bit with this decision and would value some input. I'll try to make it simple. We are looking to buy a Fiat Ducato Campervan. Either the 6 m or 6.4 m length. The layout (and price) we like is from Avan. We also looked at Avida and Jayco. But there is an 18 month + waiting list...

I have a friend who lives in a caravan park in Sydney. He owns a caravan with a shower and toilet (can't be towed .... needs to be placed on a vehicle for removal). There's also an attached hard annex that's 3 x 5 metres, a carport, and a small shed ... all needing dismantling. He paid $29,000 for everything...

Sadly passed by another roll over today, about halfway between Camooweal and the Barkley Roadhouse on the Barkley Highway.
