at the local park some 8km's round trip away. Got the bike and dog trailer, and am using the wifi of a tourist whom will be here for a month. Have set this camp up for a long stay, hoping I can have it here for at least 3 months maybe more. Have been wanting to do long term camping in our Wild Country tent, and a 5...

Am researching the purchase of a solar blanket to supplement the 2x150w panels on the roof of my caravan as the current situation means I run out of power after say three days off grid. Any information would be very much appreciated as I understand it's not as easy as taking the blanket out of the box and p...

On a different topic the old TV show, My Favourite Martian, was mentioned. That brought back memories of many TV shows that I watched as a child. Such as: Milton the Monster, Linus the Lionhearted, Bugs Bunny Show, Woody the Woodpecker, The Flintstones, It's about Time (? about two astronauts who...

I found some really good videos on various road trips on You Tube. I find that most of the ones I have watched before all seem to revolve around some clown thinking he is a media star accompanied by the wife that talks through her nose and the kids named Therryn and Constance. These ones I have been watchin...

I presently have a vinyl tonneau cover on my D Max that is starting to come to the end of its days. I have thought about getting a canopy but with the extra weight added to the other junk that I cart around in the tub together with some of the reports I have read here about the inaccessibility of things that ar...

Howdy all. Apologies for the lack of posts - have been watching but like many of us have been busy dealing with the last couple of years. Anyhoo, I will catch up gradually and here's the first retro post, this one from October 2019 (yes, it's been that long!). Hope you enjoy it. https://stevies-wanderi...

Hi all, I have a Truma Gas Heater fitted to the TeePee as I feel the cold quickly as well as heat in summer. I tried using the heater this morning as it was 16c but felt a lot colder to me for some reason, probably my health at the moment and it would keep going, it kept cutting off. I gave up after 4 tries. Obvi...

Hello again I'm slowly catching up. I have four more short notes (with pictures) after this one before I start on my current trip. Funny what a spell of rain-induced inactivity will do for retro travel blogs. This one is a five to ten minute read with 20 pictures from Hay, Lake Cargelligo, Nambucca Head...

Hello all, Has anyone with a Windsor Seka Pop Top changed their 3 way Dometic fridge to a VitriFrigo 150i compressor unit? We are having a cooling system blockage in the Dometic for the second time and seeing as we will not be using the caravan for free camping we feel a compressor unit is the way to go. Ple...

Hi everyone, I have put a deposit on a MH here at a dealership[in Perth. The MH is originally from Victoria. They have showed me the road worthiness cert from Vic but not one from WA where it now has WA plates on it. They said it had to go over the pits to be re registered here and everything passed but why wont...

Advice please on the best way to travel Goulburn to Mudgee towing a 20ft caravan

I know very little about inverters apart from using a 300W running a laptop in our caravan. Is it possible to run a 800W toaster from an inverter. My questions are what size,type or brand inverter would you require to run this toaster. I only have two 110 AH batteries in my caravan. Am I dreaming. Would re...
