Is there a way around this in regards to convert to AUS power, is it a easy as a AUS to US adaptor?
It is just so friggin cheap, more than half of what you would pay here!

And you can get em with a gas conversion to run off your bbq bottle :cup:

Not as easy as a plug adaptor. The USA runs on 110VAC at 60 Hz. So wrong voltage and frequency for electrical gear here.
You can get a 110v to 240v transformer to step up the voltage but it would be a heavy PITA.

110v and 60 cycles.
Unless your gear can run from 100-240v, 50 or 60 cycles, no good mate.

Replied same time...
Yep, 110v to 240v transformer, something like an 'atlas power converter' would be cheaper to just buy the genset here.

would be cheaper to just buy the genset here.
solution,,,,,,,, if you don't own a heap of 240v camping gear,(is there such a thing) just buy all your gear from the US,
it'll be cheaper,
you'll make the honour roll in the "flamed for buying from overseas" thread
none of your mates can sneakily plug their gear into your setup
and, you'll be a one of a kind, that's gotta count for :cheers:

Also,
Wont have to worry about chaining up the genset, just make sure you print off and laminate a paper card with
'110v only' on it.
be safe as houses,................ probably.

Hmmmmm.... log splitters from USA too :)

Minor detail,,,,, just get the generator at the same time, problem solved :cup:

HAHA screw that!

HASHA Lost, yeah sprung. I actually found exact rims over there but they wont ship here!
I guess you can tell I'm not electrical savvy! Although I did look at trasnsformers before asking...
Might just stick to reading posts before I get "honoured" :'(

Thanx all for your comments BTW. :cheers:

Dont stop posting mate.
Contribute and enjoy!
