Mklll Re-build back on road


After major changes MY BEACH SHAK is back on the road. 

Pop Top 50% lighter and folds up/down easy.

Front Extension slides out and locates better but will be further improved next summer by making it 800mm 

Power is now two circuits. 

Circuit 1 - 2 x 100ah Deep cycle in parallel charged by DC-DC charger when driving. 160W solar or Rutland Wind Generator (or both) when camping.

Circuit 2 - 1 x Ordinary  car battery (To be replaced by a 100ah Deep Cycle when I can)Charged by 160W solar and/or Wind Gen as required.  This circuit connects to 600W invertor

When considering the Wind Generator I researched several Chinese models available -  Cheap but most needed winds of

45 klms/Hr for any decent output and are 1.2M Dia.

Spent a few days on Noosa North Shore last week and everything is working well so will be travelling further soon.

See you on the beach smile
