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—...

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...

Ecoflow Delta2 vs DIY Battery

Today I would like to compare how well these battery boxes perform compared to a homemade project, at least on paper. And also look at the advantages and disadvantages, not ignoring the cost side. We will compare the high-quality components with a similarly equipped Ecoflow Delta2, which we have already presented here. For the comparison, I only choose really good components, those that I would currently use for a DIY project myself. Here's my selection of components, I'm already excited! The power supply in the touring vehicle. A DIY project vs an Ecoflow Delta2 - which battery or power supply is better? 12v charger Victron Orion-Tr 12/24-10 240W for charging from the alternator 125 USD, 1.5 kg weight EDECOA 2000w inverter 12v 230v voltage converter or inverter 300 USD, 4.0kg weight 2 x solar charge controller MPPT 75/15 Victron Energy 12V 15A 200 USD, 1 kg weight Shore power charger Victron Energy 230V , 12 V/30A-3 220 USD, 1.4 kg weight 100Ah LiFePO4 battery ECO-WORTHY 1...
