Are you a caravanning pro or just run with it? :)


Hey Reader

How are you this week? I can't believe that the Christmas Pageant has just been and gone here in Adelaide! It was on the TV for a few minutes in our house, but the kids aren't really interested in it. But, it marks the time that Christmas is coming!!!! :P

This year is just flying by....

And again, we're back to Black Friday sales. Some of our affiliate partners have some awesome deals which I'll share with you shortly, but first, let me share a new article that Tim just wrote about caravan electrical systems and one that I wrote about the cool things in Melbourne.

Enjoy :)

1. Caravan Electrical System Explained!

Ever felt a bit overwhelmed by your caravan's 12V electrical system? All the talk about batteries, solar, inverters, and chargers can be super confusing. The last thing you want is to run out of power when you're enjoying a great off-grid spot!

Tim has put together a fantastic, no-fluff guide that explains it all in plain English. Learn the difference between battery types, how your solar actually works, and what all those gadgets are for. This is the ultimate beginner's guide to your van's power.

2. Best Things to Do in Melbourne City

We've put together our list of the best things to do right in the city. Forget the usual tourist traps—this guide covers the must-see spots, awesome (and free!) family activities, and our favourite places to explore. Perfect for planning your next city visit!

My guide has all the quick win-type jobs for adding a bit of extra money to your travel fund. Are they meaningful? Not really... are they difficult? Nope... All you need is your phone and a few minutes spare, and you can make some extra money.
