Going solo, I mean solar – Update

In a previous post we talked about going solo… I mean solar, where we introduced the latest addition to our camping kit – the HardKorr solar panels. Just over 12 months later and its time for another review of the HardKorr solar mat. These panels are awesome for anyone with a space issue. There is […]

Pumba upgrade Smittybilt SRC roofrack

Our TJ wrangler (Pumba) has been in major need of a space capacity upgrade. Everyone who sees us pull up to camp can’t believe we manage to fit all our camp gear inside the TJ. To be honest our camping luxuries come at the cost of space for the dogs so this upgrade was for […]

Bigriggen Park Rathdowney
