LED Camper Lighting Solution / Canvas update.

The main problem I’ve been having is the self adhesive doesn’t stick. Tape in areas also came away on hot days. It was driving me crazy so my daughter suggested I try hot melt glue gunning it. Ans it worked so mush better than all my other options.

My wife is making the bed end fly’s for the camper out of King’s Awning walls and sewing them, I can wait till they are done. This is a temporary solution until I can afford a full new canvas.

I have a picture of what canvas I’m ordering as I really like the colours and it will make a big difference when complete.

The Three Sisters Rock Formation

The Three Sisters Rock Formation The three sisters rock formation is about a 1-hour drive from Sydney to Katoomba in New South Wales, Australia. We travelled from Newcastle so it was approximately a 3 hour trip for us. Parking at the site is difficult and has parking meters which add to the unfriendliness of the place. It’s a great rock formation and very famous so it is worth going to see. You do not have to hike as there are viewing platforms though getting to a spot you can take a photo at is annoying. It is full of tourists and the tour buses just drop them directly at the viewing ramp and it really is very congested. Expect extreme temperatures. In Winter it’s bitterly cold with strong winds that freeze you to the core. In summer it’s so hot and fires often rage in the Blue Mountains. It’s definitely worth the trip but you will need patience. Shops are limited but locals obviously live there getting al they need from the area but I would search goog...

Noumea - New Caledonia

Today we docked in Noumea, New Caledonia. We had a short stay of around 7 hours. We decided to try the hop on hop off bus tour. This had around 7 stops around the area of the port or around a 5 km radius. The busses were new and thankfully air conditioned which was such a relief. Everyone was given a wrist band that was colour coded so it was easy to see which bus you needed to hop back on to. Here are some photo's from the area.

Caravan Camper Progress

Caravan Camper Progress So far I have got the Camper registered which was a great outcome. Im looking at replacing the leaf springs, bearings and brakes just so I know im not going to have a problem with them. Also, my daughter has been great in patching the problem areas of the canvas. Im having real problems finding a company that is able to make me a complete new camper canvas, in New South Wales. So far it is going okay though Im unable to get the fridge working and it smells ghastly so I have decided to replace the fridge when I can afford it. I looked around and they cost about $250 for a 240-volt fridge with a three-year warranty. im not going off the grid so this should do me fine with my cooler. Heres some photos of the inside.
