Anyone using the Caframo 748 or 807 fans in their caravan or motor home? My preference is the smaller 748 because at high speed it only draws .25amp whereas the 807 draws .4amps.

We are going up to Bundaberg area in October and would like some tips on where to find some nice free camping or reasonably priced caravan parks. Preferably where the mad fisherman (hubby) will catch some fish. Is Burnett Heads any good? AilleenH.
