Charging IPad
(Preview)
We have thought about buying a 12v charger for the IPad. We currently use an inverter for charging it in the motorhome. Does anyone know which method uses more power from the battery? Or are they both about the same?

AN ESSAY: Does anyone write essays any more? Is it a satisfactory way for me to put across - as an example - the story of a love affair that began by taking an overnight ferry trip?

Ensuite for Aliner Camper.
(Preview)
Have just checked out an Aliner fitted with a fibreglass ensuite as per the picture. The gentleman selling the van also made the unit - 3 in fact - with a view to selling them but has found the cost is too great.

Gas refills
(Preview)
G'day, g'day, g'day yawl. It occurred to me that swapping an empty 9kg gas bottle for another is a piece of cake. But what happens if it's not empty and you're about to cross the Nullarbor or some place like that? Can you top up a half full bottle? I know some peeps carry a spare but I don't like the idea of hav...
