Our Eagle camper had a 3-way 90L Dometic fridge in it. I would cool it down on power the afternoon before we left. My wife added three frozen water bottles in a couple of shelves & that would keep the fridge cold (the freezer still frozen) after a 700Km drive eg to Rockhampton, Emerald. Milk never we...

Have also posed this question on the recommendations/caravan parks post. Have been researching caravan parks at Parkes to fit with a couple of trips being planned. The usual sites one looks at for comments re caravan parks fails to really recommend any of the parks I have looked at at Parkes. Surely t...

Gday... I have a 120Ahr battery fed by two 80watt PV panels through a 30amp controller. Given how I camp, this is quite adequate for my needs. On sunny days, even in Victoria's winter, the battery is back to float (13.4V) by late-morning/early arvo. Even on overcast days I am able to get at least three d...

Dare I say it, I was fixing a cupboard to a lower inside wall ofÂ a bed in my campervan and misjudged the length of the screws. To cut a long story short, the screws went right through the wooden panel and it looks like two of them have pierced my black plastic water tank which was fixed flush up to the wooden...

We are travelling up to Cape York and wants some advise on how far should we take our camper we have a 2015 Jayco penguin off road. Also places to store it.

When on the road we meet so many people. The big issue for me is remembering peoples names. I tend to place the initials in my memory bank For example, let's say the couple names are Fred and Wilma. I immediately register F&W. Now if that does not work I wait until they drop either name, then bingo ...
