This time I splashed out & got one with USB & WiFi so that SWMBO could use h...

Hi all. This is my first post and I would like to pick a few brains out there. We are set up for independent camping (solar, batteries etc) and find that our only real limiting factor is water.

We have camped previously, so as to have no...
