Did a swap n go on the old out of date gas bottle I had in the shed. Also bought a new hose with reg which was 900mm long. Tested it all out and it fits my camp stove. So now my side mount gas bottle can be easily used. I'd still like to eventually buy a camp kitchen but a have a fold up wooden table that will do for now as I have done before. Bought a 500w inverter from 4WD Supercentre, a few weeks ago. The 500w one finally came up on sale, plus I had an eBay coupon code which shaved another $10 off IIRC.
Plan is to head down the coast this coming long-weekend, until the Tuesday night for a bit of camping in the local Big 4. We have a pretty good set up now, and will be fine in an unpowered site with what we have in battery storage along with the solar panel. At some stage I'd like to buy an AGM, or if lithium come down enough maybe one of those.
Current plan is to take Taylor so we can explore the Leven River for something to do, along with some rods and see if we catch anything.
We found last time we were out it got a bit hot in the camper tent so I bought a large rechargeable fan from Mitre 10 on clearance for $65. It can be easily charged up with what we have so it's the perfect fan for what we need.
I still want to get the OZ Trail over a weigh bridge, just for my own curiosity, just so I know how much weight the Outlander is pulling. I know it's not even close to the 1300GVM it can handle. But I don't love towing too much weight on the wife's car. At a guess it's probably sitting under 650kg all up, when loaded. I also want to weigh Taylor so I can use the wife's car to pull whatever is lighter. I need to find a local weigh bridge which I haven't done yet as there are none close by.
