BANANA CAKE
(Preview)
Does anyone have a clue as to how long it takes to cook a normal sized banana cake (not a packet mix one but roughly the same size) in one of those bench top convection ovens?

Refilling water tanks
(Preview)
We are about to head off for 12months tripping around. Hope to stay in free camp spots most of the time. Our van/4wd is set up with solar panels, batteries etc but we were wondering how most travellers top up their water tanks when on the road and not venturing into caravan parks.
