Adapter for cartridges: Replacement Campinggaz R904/R907

Who hasn't experienced it, the next trip is planned - and you start thinking about whether the gas bottle will still be able to cope with this trip. Is the gas bottle half full or already empty? Or whether you should replace it as a precaution. There are many travel blogs where motorhome travellers with Campinggaz gas cylinders such as the R904, R907 or R901 report problems with purchasing or replacing the cylinder. You don't even have to travel far away for this, even in Europe the search can take a long time depending on the country you are travelling to. Or consider whether you really need to carry a spare bottle. Despite my good research skills, I had to search a little longer until I found a remedy. Because what is available in DIY stores almost all over the world? These small gas cartridges with DIN EN 417 connection. The small cartridge gas bottles usually offer a better price/performance ratio. I am not primarily concerned with saving money. ...

Off-Road Navigation Made Easy: How to Plan Your Adventure

Before every Off-Road Adventure, the same big challenge awaits: Planning and Navigation! The perfect app for planning and navigating off-road adventures just doesn’t exist! Although there are plenty of usable apps, the learning curve is often only worth it for commercial tour operators. As a traveler and overlanding enthusiast, I’d rather spend my rare free time (especially as a new dad!) outdoors or behind the wheel instead of spending late nights diving into route planning or learning complex navigation apps. Of course, we could just opt for pre-made roadbooks from MDMOT, 4x4Roadbooks, or Pistenkuh, or book a guided off-road tour, such as one of the sociable events offered by Five-Mountains. Since we prefer solitude and remote nature, though, pre-planned tours or group trips aren’t ideal for us. They tend to lack that touch of adventure—like the uncertainty of whether our vehicle can handle the route—and shared spots can sometimes mean crowds, noise, or litter. So, if you’re like us—...

Finding the Perfect Portable Power Solution: A Comprehensive Comparison

Introduction: Are you constantly on the go and in need of a reliable portable power pack? Look no further! In this article, we have conducted an extensive analysis and comparison of various battery boxes and power stations to help you find the perfect portable power solution. Whether you're a frequent traveler, an outdoor enthusiast, or someone who values preparedness for emergencies, we have gathered all the essential information you need to make an informed decision. Understanding Common Power Needs : To be honest, when it comes to common power needs, most of the mentioned power stations and battery boxes can meet your requirements. They are suitable for tasks such as charging mobile phones and tablets via USB, powering notebooks or drones through 110V/220V or USB-C connections, operating compressor fridges with 12V car sockets, and recharging the power stations through wall power, car sockets, or solar power. These devices cover the basics and provide a reliable power source fo...

flexible Watertank or bladder for vanlife and overlanding

To be able to easy carry enough water for drinking, washing and showering is important for us travellers who likes to be able to stay off grid some days. Easy to fill, easy to store, easy to use. This is less important if you stay at campgrounds with facilityes each night. A view days ago I did detect some great ideas for water storage in our van, 4x4 or rv vehicle. An australian company did sell them over ebay. Also when the shipping from australia will cost additional cash it it should be considered for us travellers. The water bladder! Those flexible watertanks or bladder are very good for a temporary installation, it need just a minute to install or remove them. I was able to interview some people who use them since severall years. As always there are some pro and cons about such a product compared to an watertank with solid walls like I showed below. A flexible bladder tank will makes less noise, there will not water noise during driving. He is also easyer to install an...

Ford Nugget vs VW California vs Campmobil

If you take a look around on the European market today, you will find some great buses with motorhome conversions. All of them are more or less suitable for bad roads, but without a reduction gear they are not intended for rough terrain. None of them is available on the international market yet. Today I would like to take a closer look at three of them and compare them, I have chosen these vehicles: California Ocean 6.1, Ford Nugget 2021 L1, Campmobil HK 4.9. We are comparing extensions based on the VW California with different space concepts with the Ford Nugget Custom with pop-up roof (Westfalia). Image: https://www.de.ford.ch/nutzfahrzeuge/transit-custom The Ford Nugget L1 with pop-up roof has an appealing two-room concept that allows relaxed cooking without having to convert everything in the living area. The manual folding roof is also convincing with a useful width of 141 cm. Two adults can sleep comfortably there. The kitchen has a useful size and is really usable. ...
