We do all our travels in the bush so we stay clear of all that modern batteries systems and stick with very simple set up we cook on gas lights and water pump 12volt and one 1000 wat inverter if I need 240 power we have two 120 amp batteries and the get charged by one 300 water solar panel plus the car if needed and phones ipad and anything else gets charged while driving and never have we ran out of power and it's so simple . I must ad we haven't got kids travelling with us so that make life easier 😅
Love that idea for the wire. I also thought it might be used for moving snacks to the boys. Heard you are now at Coober Pedy, be on the look out for the feelgood family in Pedy. Enjoy your week.
Very good question regarding the wire. We rigged that up so we can pull a small curtin across it to seperate the boys. It gives them their own space while we drive. We have only used it twice but worked a treat
Salesmen will sell anything. You need 2 to 1. Two times solar to how much you use. If you got the money, power Paul batteries and redarc. Because defence gave money for there conformal coating on there printed circuit board line. Next, always put positive on first then negative. It helps to reduce a short circuit. Tap always first.
Check going overland and put more solar on that roof. You not got enough. Build a plastic pipe push together frame and semi flexible panels. The same size has roof
We enjoyed watching your video. Could you tell us what the condition of the Strzelecki track. We are considering using that to get to Innamincka from Adelaide.
Hi Leanne, The road was amazing. Recently been graded. We kept commenting on how good it was.. No issues at all. No traffic either. Unlike Oodnadatta Rd which you will see in one of our upcoming videos.. corrugated and painfully long(haha) …
lithums only advantgae is weight, they can be trouble--- im going back to agms as they dont burn your van to the ground as every week a new caravan is burning, due to lithium
Oh the door , any how stiff shit its still on there, just most of the other shits been suck out, panel beat the door over some soft pine blocks and worry only about its operation rather than its bad looks, big deal as long as it works, nan has a good personality 😊
@@australianoverlanders4688 exactly , there's a good laugh to be had each time someone says oh what happened to the door , oh I dunno guess its been made that way eyes roll 😂
does your system feature a dcdc charger? or is it just relying on the voltage sensitive relay built into the ProjectA management module - you really do need a dcdc charger for the lithium as the voltage drop in "direct" cabling will not allow effective charging in the caravan from the car
This what happens when you want all this bling and tech and obsession with using 240v in your overpriced caravan. Never had a problem with my DIY setup on my camper trailer with an AGM since installing in 2015.

I enjoyed this video and young kids enthusiasm is alway good to watch
They keep us on our toes
@@australianoverlanders4688 I bloody bet they would but in mainly good ways too
Poor buggers. Always something to keep you on your toes. Electricity scares me! Haha!
Beautiful part of the world, which is a plus.
So true!
Camel skeleton, thanks enjoyed the vid.
We thought a cow but now you say that it makes more sense.
I thought it was a camel as well.

I agree we have over complicated life at times with technology and reliance on battery power. Still much to learn.
Awesome video. Great teamwork! Well done Nana! Where are your hats? In the outback without an Akubra hat. Shame! lol
We keep forgetting to put our hats on whoops

Oh if they are in town we will see them as it is sooo quiet here.
Stay safe family and enjoy the places you travel. The van door okay, hey what is the wire you have in the car for.
🙂

A bit of panel beating by ourselves and like new. We also tightened up the latches as they were coming loose.
Oh, Kings batteries.
Yes I took a risk and will let the channel know if they last the 12 months.
Great video guys. Sitting in moomba just down the road watching. . Will be on the strezlecki today delivering fuel. Enjoy your trip
What is it like working and driving that track with us tourists?

Great advice regarding placing positive first. I will look into those batteries and setup if we continue to have issues.

I left my flexible solar panel at home as I got over setting them up on our earlier trip. Now I am regretting that decision.

I was thinking the same thing. Caravans, cars and electric bikes all having the same issues with lithium.

It looks like new after a few bashes. Maybe has a little personality left with a story to tell haha

Yes we have a dcdc charger. Appreciate the feedback and thanks for watching
It’s Kings
I thought I would give them a go. Hopefully they last the 12 months.

Sounds like the perfect setup
