Hi All Well we finally got away in our new (2011 Goldstream RV) and had a bit of trouble sorting out solar, charge, etc. Finally worked out that we cannot leave the Anderson plug or the 7 pin plug attached to the vehicle for the solar to charge the van battery. Anyway the battery (new AGM 120ah) went down t...

Hi. My name is Sue. I am a solo future nomad, although part time. I hope to do a shorter more local trip in spring to test the waters and would love to meet some of you. I am from Adelaide.

Quite a few of the motorhomes that I have looked at have a queen bed that is either east-west at the rear of the motorhome or up against a wall, both of which can make it di...

According to Google, the standard size for a queen bed is 153 cm x 204 cm. Are queen beds in RVs typically that size?

When we purchased our van recently it had a Waeco 12v/240 fridge. It seemed to work great as we plugged into 240 at home 36hrs prior to get her cold then off we choof. Set up on a free camp. Admittedly not 100% sun all day but not bad. After a day the fridge started to warm up. We have arranged to get all the wi...
