Hi All. For those using a hot spot, dongle or on a post paid plan, be aware that even if you buy mobile broadband as pre-paid, you cannot change from one Telco to another without a financial penalty. We were in a small NSW town when both our phones clapped out (both Galaxies and at 13 months - clever bugge...

There for the 7 pin aux supply the fridge or charge the vans battery. This is for a standard wired van with solar panel. ( inco...

I have had the van parked outside with the 12volt only fridge going. The weather over the last two days has been overcast and raining. The in house batteries have tumbled and I have switched the fridge off. I have 300 watts of solar power, doing hardly anything these last days, two 100 Amp hour batteries...

Forgot Something Sport24/03/2016Christine Thiel Youve spent a small fortune setting up your travel equipment. The caravan and tug have been decided. The motor-home is under conversion from the road coach or school bus. All the big decisions have been made, the budget has been set, and you are...

I have installed a DC-DC charger in our Mazda BT50 that feeds an auxiliary battery in that vehicle. I did this because of the possible problems occurring with "smart" charging systems. Before you say the BT50 has not got the smart charging system, I read some forums and there seemed to be confusion in t...
