We are about to leave Emerald to travel to Charters Towers. Please could you supply us with your thoughts on how we should do this. Should we drive all the way or stay along the way. Your thoughts on staying at Belyando Crossing? Any advice would be appreciated.

The new additions will be 3 solar panels, solar controller, battery charger and 2nd battery. Considering the limitation of the Setec controller, are my thought processes correct, however where is load from solar controller connected ?

The male part of my 12v TV (cigarette lighter type connection) has broken and I have purchased a cigarette lighter connection power source for my Teac TV from Jaycar. The male connection does not seem to fit into the Anntennatek 12V Socket Wall Plate to power the TV. I have searched the website of the...

I am in need of some technical support for this project. I am running an "Eva-Kool" 12v / 240 v fridge in my tug, and run it from a cigarette socket whilst mobile. When I get to a Park for the night I un-plug the 12 volt, connect the transformer and plug into the 240 volt. Morning comes, I reverse t...

Recently on a trip to Alice Springs on a motorbike that takes 89-91 octane, I started topping up with Opal fuel once I hit NT. By the time I got to Alice i probably only had Opal in the tank. I couldn't start the bike from cold each morning. Everyone else had been topping up with 95 (not Opal) and were not havi...

Hi All, I have a question to those of you that have a Truma E2400 gas heater. Does the warm air outlet rotate/swivel to allow you to direct the air in different directions. Also, if you have a dual outlet are you able to close one off. I am getting different answers from different suppliers, including Do...

I just finished doing a service on my 2009 Colorado, I decided while I had time I would unblock the washers as I tried to use them last week. Blew all the lines and jets out with compressed air, pressed the lever, washers operated for about 10 seconds and then lots of algae or scum came out and they stopped....

I did do a search on "Dual batteries" but really didn't convince me of what I am seeking. Can you have 2 batteries of different AHs. Eg we have a Full river AGM 120ah, can we put another in of say 100ah? My husband couldn't lift the 120ah into our boot-too heavy. We had to get the kid next door who g...

Clouds gathering over the Illawarra coast

In an earlier article I mentioned that inverters were used in other ways, this is where you see a device with a motor in it (example air conditioner, or fridge), and the manufacturer states it is more efficient because it is an inverter air conditioner, what does this mean? I will use an air conditione...

No! I didn't buy a jeep. I bought a mining claim. I move onto the claim today, it's at Sapphire Queensland. Hoping to make my fortune or just having fun trying. Will also be a nice base for the winter months and still travel around. A few of you already know. Time to make it official as of today.
