(Except 2 stroke for my chainsaw) I want it to be quiet of course. Could anyone advise the best one to get please. I kno...

Since a generator is connected to the house battery and the battery is normally situated between generator and loads (items using the power) why can't a much cheaper standard generator be used instead of the much more PSW (inverter) genny be used? I would think that the battery provides the power an...

Some 10 years ago I installed an SOG toilet ventilator onto the Thetford cassette standard in the van. It took about an hour, and was a bit expensive I thought but in retrspect it was one of the best additions I have made.

Hello all, if you are travelling in the NT particularly near Tennant creek, and are as yet unaware, there is a large scrub fire burning in the area, its pretty serious so much so they have brought in volunteer fire fighters from S.A. with their appliances. If you come across any of the fire fighters, gi...

With all the recent discussion about avatars, I thought that I would change mine. Hope that the change works - It was a Cane toad that I lifted from an old Utube Video. I changed it to a picture of a clay figurine that I purchased many years ago. Unique & no copyright I think. SWMBO says it's a goo...

Just returned home from four months in the "bush" and I think it pertinent to comment on the seemingly reduced fringe coverage in country areas. I presume this is as a result of the cessation of G3 but do not know if this is so. I have a CelFi amplifier and have made comment elsewhere that we were previo...

Hi All, I'm driving from Yamba to Dubbo in a few weeks and would like some advice on the easiest road to take towing a van. It looks like two main routes, through Tamworth on A15, 676 Kms, or is it a better road through Glen Innes on B76 which is 724 Kms? I'm not keen on the Waterfall Way route as that looks ve...

Or purchasing a generator/ inverter (around the $500 to$1000 mark). the generator will be the cheaper option, but my concern is the noise....

I've been using a handheld Uniden with a mag mount antenna on the roof for a while. The radio sits on the shelf above the sun visor and I have a handset on a velcro loop next to it.

We have 2 x 120w solarking panels on our poptop, seems like one is now faulty, and of course I that exact size one is not available now. so it looks like I will need to replace both panels, we only use about 25 amps overnight from our 100 amp lithium, so anything from 240 to 300 watts is ample for us (were inWA,...
