How to keep your camper trailer in tip-top condition
If there’s one thing we’ve learnt from our extensive travel is not to dismiss any small problems that arise with our camper trailer. Having travelled all around Australia, we are drawn to some of the more remote regions year after year. Visiting places such as WA’s Kimberley and west coast, and other areas like the […]
Waeco CR65 litre Upright Fridge
It was exciting times when we were designing our canopy fitout of our Urban Escape Vehicle, but it’s not something we simply jumped into. So if there’s one bit of advice we can give, especially if you’re a first timer setting up a touring vehicle, then it’s important not to jump into designing a canopy […]
How to keep the insects away at your campsite
We’d all like to have an insect free campsite especially when we know there’s lots of nasties that bite! While there’s a bundle of commercial products available to manage insects, try some of our tips to help keep those nasties at bay. Oh, bugs are generally drawn to a white light at night time, so […]
DRIFTA Canvas Bags
Over the many years we’ve been travelling, finding the right packing solution for all our gear has been a challenge. While plastic tubs can be stackable, they eventually disintegrate, so we followed the jolly swagman who we think had the right idea, and chose to go with canvas. It’s weatherproof, it breathes, and it’s dustproof […]
Snow Peak & Porlex to the coffee rescue
If there’s one thing that we choose never to skimp on whether we’re at home or when travelling, it’s having a good cup of coffee. We wouldn’t consider ourselves full blown coffee snobs, but for the couple of cups we like to have each day, they’ve got to be good! Satisfying our coffee fix while […]
All you need to know about battery maintenance
We tend to define batteries by putting them into one of two categories in the RV world. The first type is a starter battery, which is predominantly used to turn your vehicle’s engine over and supports the electrics associated with driving. The second type is the house battery used to support accessories and lifestyle features […]
How to free camp for longer
The RV lifestyle lends itself to being nomadic as we travel from place to place – but there comes a time for most of us when we think, “I’d like to find lovely spot and just stay there for months!” You want a place that you can call home whilst out on the road; somewhere […]
Uniflame Camping Table
If there was one camping accessory that we’ve tried a number of over the years, tables would be high up on the list. You name it, we’ve tried it…plastic and aluminium, and we even tried timber in those early days of travelling. After being introduced to the Uniflame Campfire table, we were eager to try […]
Waeco CF11 Console Fridge
When travelling with a fridge of sorts is so popular these days, we’ve found having an additional small console fridge like the Waeco CF11 is a perfect accompaniment to our touring set up. This lightweight option fits snuggly between our front seats, so unlike our other vehicle fridge, this one’s accessible at any time. Feature […]
