Wondering what others would think about having new posts moderated before they appear rather than removing them afterwards like what happens on some Facebook pages. This may put a halt to unwanted posts ??

Furthermore how these usernames in these last multiple spam posts haven't been red flagged in some way ?? Nor do they appear to have the same usernames information at the bottom of the post ...what's going on there.

Selling our extremely robust and reliable Troopy as our Australia journey is coming to an end. The vehicle is set up for long-term camping and remote off-road adventures. Thanks to the unique high-top fiberglass roof construction, the interior offers full standing height and a remarkably spacious, comfortable living area. Comes with extensive camping and recovery gear – ready to hit the wilderness (or roads ??).

This Troopy has taken us reliably across Australia and is perfectly set up for remote travel, beach driving and off-grid camping. The V8 runs incredibly smooth and clean with minimal oil consumption. We have taken exceptional care of the engine, always ensuring it was warmed up properly, rarely driven on short trips, and always allowed to cool down before parking. With continued regular maintenance and proper care, this legendary Troopy is built to last and will comfortably run for many more years to come. Ideal for travelers wanting a ready-to-go setup without spending months building one.

ID:153416 - Car or van lithium upgrade

Stefandsal — Wed, 19 Aug 2026 02:48:00 GMT

Hi team! We currently have 125ah of lithium in the car with a 2000W inverter. We currently have 200ah in the van with a small inverter just for the phones & laptops. Both inverters Pure Sine Wave.

I'm considering upping the van to 400ah - 600ah & adding a decent inverter & switch in the van to power the van with 240 when we are off grid.

BUT, we have considered that we might sell the van (it's a double bunk) in the next couple of years as the kids are nearly done with us & camping - at least in the same abode!!

We do carry a genny (3.2KVA Honda) & when we are away from people & in a spot of bother with rain/trees/cloud, we use it to charge the battery & use the microwave/aircon etc. That works, but it's still a genny so we are sometimes limited (we just prefer not annoy anyone if possible).

Then I got thinking, would it be possible, if I were to upgrade the car lithium (we'll keep the car for ages & the batteries would be charged during driving) to use the inverter in the car, run a lead & run the van the same way? Aircon/microwave when necessary? I know that's not the best efficiency, but I'm not overly concerned about that & the $$ invested in the car would be likely used longer than the van. Just throwing it out there. Doable?

ID:153415 - Overnight camp on way to kalbarri

Member - DingoBlue(WA) — Tue, 18 Aug 2026 07:08:00 GMT

Looking for an overnight camp to break the trip from Perth to Kalbarri. Galena Bridge is too far as is Linga Longa. Eneabba, Figtree and Ellendale Pool are not our favourites either. We are towing a hybrid van self contained.
Thanks in advance.
