Dried-out tea bags dipped in kerosene are another safe way to start a fire. Better than pouring kero and standing clear of the flame whish. Could have been listed previously. Cheers Jay&Dee

I have very limited space in the car for batteries, two of the three 26ah batteries shoehorned under the seat, so I did some tests on the 28L Waeco going in the car so it would use the least amount of power possible. 28L is the largest fridge I could fit without taking over.

What's the general consensus about staying in motel at Halls Creek and Fitzroy Crossing? Some online info suggests it's not safe to stay but got to stay somewhere when travelling from Kununurra to Broome and not able to free camp.

I have some questions to better understand the reality of RV awnings, in terms of general characteristics, recalls and sustainability. 1. What are the dimensions of your RV awning? 2. Is it electric/automatic or manual or hybrid? 3. Have you encountered any issues with your awning (durability,...

Hi there everyone! I've got two cfx3 95dz and one cfx3 55. We live in northern Australia and it's very hot and 100% humidity and all three fridges struggle (understandably) so I'm thinking what I can do to help them out and am thinking of swapping the fans out with high output ones to get some real air move...
