Re: Holiday Power
I find it fascinating Bruce, would have been really helpful in our campervan building years. These days we have the proper plumbing and site electrics so we are sitting pretty with power and heat. When we were campervan building we belonged to a couple of forums specialised in helping with self builds I bet you'd be popular on them as you seem to have it sussed.Re: Holiday Power
Re: Holiday Power
We always found it better to keep the battery for the car just for the job it was intended and isolated the campervan part of the electrics from it. Always had in back of our minds what if we drained the battery ! We didn't buy a bigger battery exactly we invested in a proper leisure battery and kept a topped up car battery as back up. We went onto caravan sites to charge up every three days or couple of times local garages charged up our batteries while we were out and about exploring their areas. Worked for us but you may be wanting something more certain as I have no idea what the set up for sites etc is like where you are.Re: Holiday Power
Re: Holiday Power
Most interesting. I am particularly interested your roof mounts. Is more or less a permanent? Have you encountered or worry about damage to the panels? What's the longest trip you have been on now using your current setup running chargers, the television, and fridge?Re: Holiday Power
Re: Holiday Power
That's an incredible number of miles for one trip, Bruce, but from the looks of the photos, well worth it. Queensland is on my shortlist before I get too old to surf and dive.Re: Holiday Power
