So if the weathers too bad outside, you can stand under the awning & shoot ??? ;D

I should have thought of that
It got a bit wetter later in the day, but today was fantastic

A fire is a fire.
True but different outcomes in a haystack vs hi-rise underground carpark or RoRo car carrier but I'll leave you with Bowen and Bandt to work it out.
If you're a revhead then a Tesla makes sense over hot Audi/BMW/Merc ICEs as they're all computers on wheels nowadays and cop the hefty depreciation and leave the out of warranty ownership to aspirationals. If you think you're buying an EV to change the weather then I have this bridge to sell you in Baltimore.

So for sensible folk that want to keep their licence we just want cheap functional transport so that rules out EVs as the Pros of car ownership costs discovered-

Why I've ordered a Corolla Cross hybrid for the missus to replace her 3 yr old Kia petrol shopping trolley and she might get it after Xmas. In any case with NVES starting Jan1 there's no way Toyota are selling it late this year when they'll want some plant food credits in the easy first year they can get for it.

« Last post by dogbox on Yesterday at 04:54:35 PM »
most of them were sold with portable solar panels that had regulators on the panels plugged into Anderson plug on trailer 
or get a battery charger for when required for 240v. my setup that came standard with the two batteries and a 160 watt fold up solar panel handled a 95 ltr fridge with kids an never ran short of power

Thanks, Birdie, but a long way from anywhere if you want to move around!

Plenty to see in the region... The light house is ok, but Otway Fly is good too.

General Discussion / Black Series Dominator Battery Charging Question
« Last post by Ranger_Scott on Yesterday at 10:49:30 AM »
A mate has got himself a 2nd hand Black Series Dominator. Now, his tow vehicle is work lease back which is replaced every 2 years or so, so he is not too keen on putting an Anderson plug in regularly in a new vehicle for charging the camper while driving. What are the options available to charge the batteries while driving? Only thing we can think of is solar panels on the top. If this is only/best option, what size would be good, the camper has 2 x 98 amp AGMs and he plans on running just a fridge (50 litre), a few LED lights and usual phone and maybe laptop charging.

Secondly, we can't see a 240v input to charge while parked at home or if at a powered site at a caravan park. Any options out there for 240v charging?

Thanks in advance.
