Another way is to disconnect all the small wires from the battery (with everything off).

Touch them individually to the battery. Any sparks indicate current draw. Although not scientific, a...

This is very good advice and probably how the Auto Sparkies will track it down

go to a battery shop and get them to test it with their metre's
to see if batteries are in good condition

Definitely a problem mate, slow drain or not holding charge.

Home Rule is where the annual Wallaby Creek Music festival is held.

Missed that camping spot, Cuppa. I was there late last month (june). Towed a box trailer. It was wet and muddy on some of the hills. The main problem I found was people barrelling up and around the...

It’s hard to see much detail of your rig in your avatar pic, it might help if you posted a larger pic. From what I can make out it does look very tall. I haven’t driven the Bloomfield track, but have...
