Hello awesome members of this Community


Hi, I am new here I'm planning to start making my RV setup this year, I'm also planning on staying in there and travel most of the time maybe for a year. So what can you suggest to make this whole damn adventure working for a year? Don't mention the money here coz It's already settled I just don't want any delay on the road or If I get stuck in the middle of nowhere I have my backups.

For those experts here any recommendation before I pack up my things.

Welcome to the gang Svowop, enjoy here and out in the playground.

Now, first up, grab a copy of 'Camps Australia Wide' and maybe even the caravan version as well. Next download 'Wiki Camps' onto your phone, tablet or poota, well worth the under $10 cost to have. I work with both and all works well for me. That said, I mainly work with 'Wiki' these days.

Next, if 'alternative' camping, 'off the grid' stuff, make sure you have plenty of Solar Power, including batteries to deal with everything you want to travel with and use. Fresh water is another item you are best to arrange suitable storage, either fitted tanks or containers. Grey water is another thing you need to sort out quickly as well.

Third and final thing I will say is, make sure the complaince plate is right with it's listed weights. Many people, including me have had problems with the listed ATM and the actual weight of the van. It's easier to get the dealer to correct it first up than later down the track.

Mmmm, this makes four but hey, never mind. Do a search for things in the 'search' box in the thick blue line above as most things have been discussed many many times and you will find some good info already throughout this great forum.

Whatever you do and get, ENJOY.


Keep Safe on the roads and out there.

No worries I will take the advice you mention here, and no worries about the solar things I got it all settle.

Welcome to the forum Svowop.  Don't forget to try the two ongoing games here - 'Who is This' in the 'I Digress' section and 'Pick this Place' in the 'General' Section - a great source to find new places to visit.  Dougwe obviously beat 'uncle al' up this morning as we can concur with his advice.
