ALKO Rubber Torsion Bar
(Preview)
I have ALKO Rubber Torsion Bar suspension and have just completed a 11,500k trip to Darwin and return and have to say how appalling the roads are. My van towed well but I felt it would probably shock me if I was in the van as it was travelling as items lift in the deep shower tray on the wall would end up on the...

36 volt caravan systems
(Preview)
As part of my slow, but moving, change transitioning to almost full solar reliance I am considering a 36V system, the caravan will remain 12V (too hard to change) but 36V will be used to power a 36V/240V inverter which will then provide 240V for everything. My question is: Is anyone using a 36V system an...

Elecbrakes Brake Controller
(Preview)
I am considering buying the Elecbrakes brake controller which attaches to the caravan and does not need to be wired through the tow vehicle.
