It takes more than 2 Grey nomads to change this light globe! We would like to put a LED light in this light instead of the current globe, but we cant figure how to remove the globe! Does anybody else have a light fitting like this? Is there a trick to it?

Our solar and battery...
(Preview)
When we bought our van we relied on the salesman to recommend size of solar panel. I now know we have a 100 A/H deep cycle battery and a 120 watt panel with a "regulator" of some sort. Wondering how that compares to what you the forum members are using? Aussie Paul.

Water tanks and traveling?

When traveling, should water tanks be empty or full? (I'm guessing half full is a no no!) If empty, that makes free camping more difficult. Thanks, Collo.
