I'm after a bit of advice please. We have a 17" caravan with a 80w solar panel and one 120amp deep cycle GM battery. I am thinking about replacing the old, not working 90L Electrulux 3way fridge with a Weaco CR-1110 2 way (110ltr). To do this I am thinking of adding either 2 X 80w panels or one 120w pane...

Does any one have any idea if its possible to rip a 240 volt compressor out of a fridge and replace it with a 12 volt one? Surely both 240 and 12 volt compressors work on the same principle and the idea should be feasible, hopefully winding up with a half decent R.V. fridge. Gemmybob.

I am now looking at purchasing a new caravan which has a standard 90 litre fresh water tank with the option of up to 3 x 90 litre tanks. My...

Has anyone been to Lake Lenthall. Sounds quite a good spot from reading wikicamps. Toilets, showers, About 6.00a night.

Is it starting to fill up there

We have just returned from Tamworth where we stayed at the Paradise Tourist Park. One of the things about caravanning is we frequently encounter better caravan parks, and this one moves near the top in our experience. The reception people were magnificent; the powered sites were just that, not extr...

Brisbane to Perth, my best mate has just done this trip on a 750 motorcycle, SOLO. It's further than travelling across Europe (over 4000 Ks) and nearly as far as Ewan and Charlie are famous for doing in their long way series on T.V. This overlay will bring the enormity of the trip into perspective. M...
