@@keithwhittaker8741 we have a Witi alarm fitted. If triggered it locks the wheels so the van can’t be moved and sets off the alarm. We also pick and choose where we leave the van. Some places just feel a bit safer than others. We also rely on the unique hitch and the size of the van being a deterrent. Having said that we are still conscious of the potential but don’t want to be stuck to the van out of fear. So I guess it’s a bit of a balance Cheers Paul and Wenda

Cross the Murray turn right is Dogmans Hut in Victoria & free were we stay. Easy crossing with a hidden exit, plus the right vehicle & know how to use it, but not suitably for caravans. Lithium is the way to go with DC DC lithium Charging & solar. (AGM you go down to 50% - Lithium down to 20% & half the weight). We now do nearly all our cooking Off Grid in an Air Fryer including small Roast Dinners & Scones.😊

Loved your video. Police Paddocks was a nice place and we parked up in the exact same spot as you guys. The semi- permanents were there a few weeks back too. As for the loo, we highly recommend the SOG. No smell when using the toilet and chemicals are not necessary. I give it a spray with Thetford Aqua Rinse Spray occasionally for a nice scent. The SOG is the best thing we’ve installed. RACV resort was amazing. We made use of very warm pool and hot spa. Discount applies as a member of RACV. Love free camping but that was a bargain too hard to resist during the off season.

Thank you 😊 yeah it was a great spot there, by the river, at Police Paddocks. We going to be doing some upgrades to the van so will definitely look at the SOG. The RACV park was very nice particularly after being off grid for a bit. Cheers Paul and Wenda

We are doing a shake-down of our new off-grid van. We found our 250L water tanks are lasting about five days not being too careful nor too frugal - does that compare with your experience? We also found that the laptop appears to soak up a lot of power and cloudy days are making it hard to catch back up.

We probably go through our 220lt in three day and could easily make it last four days if needed. We find some days we’ll use more battery than others depending on what we are doing. But think the right solar setup is key Cheers

Loved the walk through, such a beautiful van…. Just a few questions 1. Where did you obtain the under the sink water filters? 2. Did you install the diesel heater yourself? 3. Does the water heater have an anode? 4. Where did you buy the flip antenna pole bracket on the back bumper? 5. Does the generator operate straight from the box you keep it in, and how noisy is it on the van?
@beyondthegreyoz12 күн бұрын
Thank you we have been very happy with our choice and thank you for your questions. The water filter system came with the van but we have purchased replacement filters from www.clarencewaterfilters.com.au/ and know they supply the same type of system. Evernew installed the diesel heater at the build The water heater does not have an anode The antenna bracket came with out antenna kit and we got it from www.telcoantennas.com.au/ We don't operate the generator from in the box as it will overheat as there is no exhaust outlet. It is reasonable quite for a generator and if it is positioned in the right spot we don't get too bothered by it. Hopefully that has been helpful and please reach out if we can be any more help Cheers Paul & Wenda
