    @@judy1340 Hi Judy, we have a 200w cheap suitcase type bought off ebay, (think it is really only about 160 watt). We only have 1 panel on roof (200 watt) so have needed more on a few occasions. Very good in late afternoon when the sun is low in the sky and the roof panel not working well due to angle. Thanks for watching Ken and Julie

    Hello, I am a regular viewer. Your video's quality is superb and the idea is excellent. But Do you know why your content views, audience engagement, and reach are so low? For some errors in your Channel and on your content that are happening. I have some plans and tips for you to grow your channel to a larger audience organically. Are you interested to know?

    @@iandavis5445 Hi Ian, My mini boost pro is working excellent. Even though i bought the mini boost pro, It is connected straight to the bmpro bms35-SR where the aux normally goes in. I am not running the solar wire on the mini boost as the solar is already running through the bms35. So just need the mini boost not pro if connecting this way. I have heard that other brand dc to dc chargers dont work if connecting this way and not going direct to battery. I get 35amps going in usually when driving 20 from car and 15 from solar on caravan roof. This can vary, if more solar available will use less from car. If no solar will only imput from car about 20.5 amps. I hope this helps, im no expert, but ours is working well for us. We mounted it next to our bms35 and wiring was fairly easy once i got my head around it. There is a site bmpro users tips you can get plenty of info and help from. Thanks for watching. Ken and Julie

    You need to show budget over and above normal spending if you stayed home. Also factor in the capital cost of the caravan and towing vehicle less the price you hope to get selling it and divi this up to a weekly cost to add to the expense above staying home. That is the real cost of your adventure. Just have fun and enjoy each day. I wouldn't breaks expenses down so much. Just need a weekly spend total. Make your own coffee. You have time and a kitchen. Have fun slow down to take in everything.

    Great video and looks like a great trip. I have a 2021 MUX, last of the old model, towing a 2.4T van. Just back from a trip around western NSW and I found the sweet spot for my setup was 94kmph. I locked the 6 speed auto in 4th gear and the car did it very easy. Any faster and the fuel consumption quickly went up. Out on the flat roads cars can easily overtake and I used my CB to talk to any trucks that needed to overtake so no issues at all.

    Thanks Peter, Good info, i would say the sweet spot is very close to that. I found my 2020 mux stayed in 4th most of the time.

    Less coffee's and cake might help lighten the right foot on the go pedal. It's surprising how slowing down just 5 or 10 k'm can save the amount of fuel you use. Check the tyre pressures regularly can help. Free-camping more can save money. I reckon just slowing down to enjoy the scenery is essential after all, that's why you're touring. Use your mirrors and pull over when you notice road trains coming up behind you. Good to hear how the budget is in real life. We worked on similar figures to yours and occasionally we went over but the helicopter ride and fast boat trip were well worth the money. Have fun while you are able. Cheers..
