G'Day I am going to install a new MPPT controller and the recommendation is to change from parallel to series. From the pwm picture the positive and negative leads from two panels are wired into the same ports on the controller, to make it series do I join one +ve to -ve ( in an isolated block) and then wi...

We were up early again as our journey is a long one (Fantastic noodles and a cupper for Breakie), especially not having the van with us. I love driving across the Nullarbor ( Lambie not, with out the van.) we stop often for a cupper and extra's( pit stop). We stayed at Ecula on the forward trip, and for what...

Gday... Cheers - John

Can any please advise towing suitability along this Route? What is the terrain? Thanks Dianne

We went shopping today, got home. Sitting at our front door is a tyre fitted to an identical wheel to our boat, No note. No nothing . As new tyre, same as mine.. Thankyou out there. Our boat is out of sight , locked up in the cave. Happy Days.

Gday gang One day we (SWMBO) and I will need to settle down and stop moving. We want to settle in SA ideally close to the sea. We have looked at Port Lincoln (North Shields) and Kadina, both excellent. Just wondering if anyone has any other places in mind. Thanks in advance, be safe Phil C

Just joined Forum. Haven't been able to go caravanning for about a year as a result of a couple of surgeries. Looking forward to getting away in Nov. if possible. Getting rusty staying home. Have a 20'6" StarCraft with most of the bells and whistles being towed by a Ford Everest Trend. Wife and I lo...

So,"man of the van" and I recently bought a used outback expanda set up for free camping as an upgrade from a big canvas tent. We have lots of kids but only 2 little ones 7 & 10 yr old boys in the van with us. The idea is to use it on weekends, school holidays and some touring once we get our confidence. BUT....

Hi everyone, My husband and I are relatively new to caravanning and had a tricky start by purchasing a second hand Jayco Penguin and a Prado only to upgrade to a Jayco Swan and then to upgrade again to a Starcraft 18" foot touring van within a year!

Crazy I know but once the weather got colder I re...

Hi everyone, we recently purchased a nice Coaster but unfortunately it wasn't suitable for us. We sold it and currently looking to replace it. We are looking at a 2001 Sunliner Sprinter Eurobenz. Hopefully it will be suitable for our needs. Can anyone out there advise me on what to look for as far as pos...

Hi all, Finally bought another van, although it is a doer upper it an old road workers van. I used to repair these type of vans when I was an apprentice years back built in 1975 it still has plenty of life left and I cant wait to get it on the road so I can start touring. Attached is a photo of the van. Regards, A...

I have recently joined up and have been reading different bits and pieces each time I fire up the laptop. Especially enjoy the jokes. Partner and I are on our first big trip - the half loop, up the middle, down the west coast then east to home, Adelaide (eventually) Have been vanning for several years doi...

Hi All, I was told I should post an intro. My wife and I bought a jayco camper van November 2016 and have done about 60 nights in it since then. We also purchased a 4wd in January and have put 18,000 kms on it - much of this travelling and exploring. We aim to get out and about as often as possible (limite...

Hi All could anyone towing with a 200 series LCruiser let me know what they fuel consumption is towing , we have a van thats 3.2 tonne loaded so prefer figs in a similar scenario

Still in Adelaide, and we weren't leaving until we'd visited the National Rail Museum, the SA Maritime Museum and nearby Aviation Museum too. All interesting, but to a steam engine buff like yours truly - no expert, mind - the Railway Museum was the highlight. All are just a bit out of the central city...

So I am a pre grey nomad in training and have found even though the "man of the van" purchased nice new blue hose for water we get a vile plastic or rubber taste the kids refuse to drink it. Have we made a mistake with our hose or do I need to run them more? The van has been out 5-6 times now & it doesn't matter...

I give up, cheers
