Twelve months ago I sold my comfortable but fairly large mortgage home and bought " The Dream". A beautiful 18'6" caravan and a 200 series Landcruiser. A knee replacement delayed my new life by 12 months ( I could not rent anything for under 12 months). Now the new life WAS to begin. I sent myself up to st...

Hi everyone, I'm very new here, unfortunately I lost my better half recently, we were going to become permanent nomads but now I'm doing it on my own and thought I would join GNF to see if there is someone to accompany me here.

Wind turbine for charging house batteries

Hello everyone.
Is anyone using a wind turbine to charge the caravan batteries.
Either instead of, or as well as solar chargers?
I understand the setup times are different and more time consuming, I am just interested in how effective they are for an alternative to a petrol generator, or portabl...

Diesel heater power source.
(Preview)
Hi all. My caravan solar regulator instructions say I should connect all devices to the regulator.
The new diesel heater instructions say I should connect straight to the battery.
Is either of these a more suitable option?
Thanks.

Finding the hitch perfectly, on your own, using a Gopro & a tablet or phone
(Preview)
I don't have a reversing camera, and my car has poor visability. It's really hard to see what's going on at the rear of the car, so finding the hitch on my own has always been sketchy. I could get it within 1 or 2 ft (getting in and out of the car to check), then I used the ratchet jockey wheel to bring it the rest...

I got an online survey from them, a theme in the questions was to charge per site. They want to remove the rate for solo travellors and make us subsidize couples and families. They did this at bournda about 20 years ago. I told them it was not fair that we should pay the same as a couple or family. They alread...
