Love the tips and commonsense ideas. Looks like you have been enjoying your trip. We have just retired and looking to do more although been caravaning for some time. A tip for caravaners with a pop top we had previously, I made a pvc electrical conduit tool to release awning and to pull down roof clips so you dont have to get a ladder out all the time.( I am a bit of a shortarse so necessity made me use my brain.) Good luck with your travels and thanks for a good video.

Great tips, thanks. We put a blow heater in the ensuite and hang damp clothes in there with the door shut. Everything dries very quickly and becomes a very efficient drying room😊
@happycampersaustralia

That's a great idea, but a blow heater uses a lot more power. We camp unpowered most of the time. Your idea is perfect when you are on a powered site. 👍😃

Question regarding polishing solar panels , wondering why as usually it’s a big no as polish is an inhibitor to production of solar input . Love your videos

Interesting? We knew wax was a no no, polish is more friendly as it doesn’t cause a build up.

Our solar panel get cleaned when it rains LOL. Some good tips, we have spent many years onn the road both full time and part time and you came up with some great ideas that never occured to us :) What reversing camera are you using, we have one on our Coaster / Trailer setup but it used to lose signal and the rear camera has died so it is time to replace it and I want to find one that has good range so that it doesn't cut out (assuming yours is wireless but I guess it might not be).
@happycampersaustralia
@happycampersaustralia 5 месяцев назад
Thanks for watching. Our rear view camera is hard wired, so can’t help you with recommending a good wireless option, although we hear that Safety Dave make good products.

I’m really wanting to swap my heavy and warped laminated ensuite door out for the polycarbonate! ❤ Who does that? A cabinet maker or a glaziers that make shower screens please? I have seen the polycarbonate panels at Bunnings.
@happycampersaustralia
@happycampersaustralia 4 месяца назад
We did it ourselves. Have not heard of anyone getting it done professionally. Bought the polycarbonate from Bunnings. You need to disassemble the shower screen in the van as it’s too big to get out the door. Polycarbonate is slightly narrower than the glass, so seal well.

It is a bit tricky. The water droplet is the icon, but it is often just showing public toilets. The icon is not specifically for water taps, but if you click on them all and read details, many of them show potable water, or taps that are not clearly visible.
