Today I received a mean mother air compressor & a 200W portable solar panel, bring on the cooler weather I'm ready to go bush

Jeez you been doing it LARGE, your really going for it and good luck to ya, Nice Camper, and that Compressor is a good-Un and will last you years if you look after it and not try and blow up the Goodyear Blimp, very nice piece of kit,

I have been looking at a 100w version of that panel let us know how it goes when you have had a chance to play with,

have fun and Good On Ya.

You'll be mightily impressed by the MM compressor. I have one and it is a beaut - does it shift some air! And doesn't run out of puff at higher pressures either. A ripper unit.

Thanks RR , HG, & BC I was using my sons TJM compressor but he's moving interstate so had to buy one for myself The KK was only to please the wife what can I say happy wife happy life
Be away around 4 mths we want to travel while we can too many People work all their life only to be dealt a raw hand and suddenly find they can't fulfill their wishes, and I'm an old softy really and feel very sorry for them. Had a couple close in the family that ill health blew a hole in their dreams. Anyway be pleased to let you know how the solar panel works will pull my redarc bms out of my vehicle and put it in the trailer and use another redarc controller to Run the panel on the vehicle which will still have a second fridge on board. Leaving May 1 and will wave the detector around here and there always looking for that jar of gold coins someone buried and forgot about ha ha

today i bought a garmin 64s with v6 topo maps.

 

[PMac77]

Picked up a Cheap Ozito 2500w inverter generator from Bunnings $499. I got for the caravan so we can camp out in the state parks closer to the Gold hopefully. I tested it out, runs the AC/Heater and the fridge (most important) :beer: :beer: , also a few lights without any problems. Started 2nd pull out of the box ( fuel and oil added of course) and with a 12mth replacement warranty I figured for the price couldn't go wrong :Y:

Cheers,
Pete.

texta, you can get "Garmin Topographic Data: Australia & New Zealand" on ebay for around $25. I suspect these might be 'genuine copies' but the one I bought works fine. Note, beware of V4 or V5. My 64S apparently cannot run the V5. Mine came on a micro card with a std SD adaptor

To buy Garmin genuine from The Map Shop is $199
