Last week we spent 3 nights at the popular Genoa VIC free camping area just off the Princes Hwy. We unhitched our van & did some wildlife photography in the bush around the area. On our last full day we intended to drive 5kms up the Hwy & turn off onto a bush track. 3kms outside of Genoa I looked i...

We have been to the caravan shows and looked at second hand vans in the category of SEMI OF ROAD over the last few years to the point of confusion, so we have stayed away from looking for a few month so we could clear our heads and as said it now time to come up with our ideal van. We have looked at the Paramount U...

Hi we have two problems we cannot fix on the road the first is we are only generating about half the expected solar and suspect we need to run a separate line for the second panel we have a 40amp bcdc and it should be big enough for 2 200w panels.
