Can any knowing people tell me what regulations are required to be met by wiring up a trailer for 240Volt Ac , Is there a testing facility for an installation to be certified in Western Australia. Obviously all good electrical mechanical procedures would be adhered to. Thanks in advance. Bob

i have just come across an ad for the Nanango country music muster, this may work in with our plans on the way home. Has anybody been and if so is it a good weekend. Always wanted to go to the Gympie Muster but that sounds like it is getting too big and has never worked in with our travels
