found the same problem in Oz - solution was to drink red wine at ambient temperature, and it tastes better than Australian beer..... I'm planning on doing a similar thing, using a compressor unit in freezer mode (probably Webasto) on solar, load it up with pre-frozen food in portions, then use...

definitely interesting....any ideas on pricing?

yup - guilty as charged. They are solid enough but will take a lot of cleaning up. Or maybe now i have the design sorted i'll get them remade by the local fabricator.....

thanks - hopefully part 2 covered how the jacks work I am trying to keep everything 12v so i can run it all wired from the house battery. I've got a small lithium cordless drill but its not quite up to the job on the front jacks that take most of the weight. I've just ordered a similar cordless...

One problem with working in Europe and with the Ranger is that standard truck camper components are not readily available, or prohibitively expensive to ship from the US, so i have chosen to make a few bits myself Jack legs are pulltruded fibreglass box sections - they make scaffold poles out...

although its more of a barge than a yacht...... A couple of years in the planning, and now 6 months into the actual build Campalot (".......its only a model" - Monty Python quote-ish) has finally made it onto the truck for a successfull test drive Having spent much of the last 7 years on...

try using a small short pile roller to apply the resin - i've been doing some vertical fibreglass with really runny vinylester resin lately and that has been working far better than a brush

hoping to make it if my build is useable by then. Do you need to reserve camping spots of can you just rock up early?

its a brave man who takes surfboards to Norway.

that works - still want to find a better way to output the whole world in one image, but it will do for now shame it doesnt go back further so I can see Oz, NZ and our first year in North America from Key West to Homer....just have to plot them manually 2018/19 2017 2016 2015

this is what I want to get - how did you take the image from the timeline?

i'm just not getting that option - any time I am over the map it the cursor is a drag hand, and i can't get a right click menu up at all :-( tried it on win 7 and 10. I can print the screen but that doesnt show the whole map and has all the other junk I don't want....

I've just discovered Google Timeline for the first time. Apart from the corporate big brother concerns this is so cool - its pretty much tracked my movements since Jan 2015 as we travelled through Canada the US, central and south America and now to Europe. Has anyone else played with this at all...

for that length of time across both countries definitely rent - the hassle of paperwork for purchase as a foreigner in Oz and transfer fees make it not worth trying to own, plus you would waste a couple of weeks finding and securing a vehicle, then at least the same again trying to to sell. in...

I have a 2018 wildtrak supercab 3.2 I5 in europe, It drives OK on road, but i find the front seats uncomfortable for long distances, headlights are worthless, instrumentation is stupidly crammed into 1/3 of the available dash while the rest of it pointlessly duplicates the centre screen badly...

Thanks all i will definitely be going LiFePo4 in about a year's time when the camper is actually built for lots of the reasons pointed out - cycles, weight, useable capacity and flexibility as to where it can be mounted. But for the next 9 months while I am building out and then doing short...

What are peoples' thoughts on buying into LiFePo4 batteries at the current price point, or are they likely to drop in price in the next year or so to the extent it would be worth buying an AGM now and upgrading in a year or two? for reference amazon UK is listing 100ah batteries at GBP160 for...

a lot of toy haulers in the US can do this with their rear doors - cable stayed and/or with drop down legs with safety railings around. And a growing number of standard RVs are building them onto the sides. Its a nice idea, especially if you want to keep the toddler in a relatively safe...

there are a lot of lessons here for me to learn as i do my own build, and your experience reinforces many of the things i had been considering not having to save weight and make more space, and I especially like the freestanding steps idea as more flexible than fixed ones. Definitely looking...

The people supplying the fibreglass/foam panels for my build shared details with me for a truck they have built for hunters who want to have multiple people on the roof, and they specced that roof at 60mm foam with 2mm skins. So, it can be done. Personally I agree with other comments here that a...
