Our Kalbarri adventures continue! It's not all smooth sailing in paradise, though. The weather is all over the place, and our Landcruiser lets us down. But in between is absolute paradise! You don't want to miss this (did we catch a fish?)!

OMG What a mad time you guys had at Lucky Bay! Great company to boot and that Tuna dinner turned out amazing. Well done Simon, Liz and Co. Happy belated birthday Simon. Cheers, Daniel & Preeti🎉

Further tip for diagnosing the battery drain Simon, get yrself a combo Clamp Meter/Multimeter, no disconnection of anything required then, just put the clamp over either the pos or neg battery cable and it will give a reading of the amp flow coming out of the battery.

Hey Guys, love your channel, been watching you guys since the episodes on What's up down under and love your content! absolutely love the new series on West coast and beach access as we are doing the west in 2026 and as you said not lots of info on this! Keep up the great work guys and say Giday to Andrew from Accelerate next time you see him; he did a huge battery upgrade on our van two years ago and we found him to be a great and very knowledgeable guy! We wouldn't use anyone else. Cheers, Pete & Jane

Awesome video on a fantastic spot, can't wait to watch the videos about the beach camping over there it will give me some ideas of where to visit when we come over in about a month. Have you looked at putting a battery monitor on the crusier and you could run a solar panel on the roof or a portable panel that put a charge to the crusier while parked up . Happy Birthday Simon and Happy mother's day Liz, great to see you take time out for yourselves to have a well deserved rest, so then you can keep making wonderful content for all of us to watch.🍻🍹

Thanks, Craig. Our first campground guide video was released earlier this week, showing how to get onto the beach at Lucky Bay. We've thought about putting a solar panel on the roof rack but it would take up valuable real estete. We're still considering it though.

Absolute paradise. It just shows you don't have to go fishing to have fish. Lol. I've had a throttle controller on our last two utes. They certainly deliver the power a lot quicker. We have a lot of steep winding roads here in NZ & it works well. Does the sand play havoc by getting into your brakes & suspension? I don't envy you doing a big clean after all that sand. But, hey, look at where you were staying. Bloody magic. 😊

@TheLifestylePioneers 27 күн бұрын

Couldn't agree more! We haven't had any issues with sand but the salt spray can create some challenges.

For myself the rooftop solar is connected to the crank battery that overflows to the second battery when the voltage reaches the cut in level via the dc charger. It’s not much but keeps the crank battery full. The dc charger delivers full charge to the second battery when driving

Hi Guys. Have been enjoying following your adventures since finding your channel a few weeks ago. Just a suggestion for the battery situation. I have my input from the start battery and output from Enerdrive dc to dc converter go through Anderson plugs. If I get a flat start battery I can reverse the plugs and charge the start battery from the battery bank and solar. Happy travels.

@TheLifestylePioneers 27 күн бұрын

Interesting. Not sure how that would work with alternator sensing in the DCDC

@twodogs2009 26 күн бұрын

@@TheLifestylePioneers Hi Guys. Thanks for the reply. You dont need the ignition sense wire when the charging battery is above 13.2V. "When the battery is charging through CH3 with normal operation (not through Ignition or override setting), the charger will charge for 3 minutes, it will then rest for 5 seconds to verify the Input voltage. During the 5 seconds rest period, if the measured voltage is >12.8Vdc on a 12V System (>25.6Vdc on a 24V system), the unit will continue the charging cycle through CH3." I do need to adjust the program from lithium to flooded battery though and it still charges via my solar array also. Hope this helps.

.i built my own genrator for my van, it is a really small honder motor direct conected to a 12v alternator so it will charge the car or van battery at 55ah so it is like running the motor at quite high revs so if my alternator in the car or the battery doesn't work i connect it up and drive
