    p:s where did you get the shower arm i got the same wheel fixings as your`s and i could do with one of those
    cheers
    Hi nowoolies,
    I made the shower arm at home, I'll make you one if you like and post it over, or give you the dimensions so you could get one made. Just a piece of aluminium extrusion bent in a pipe bender with a holder at the end for the shower bag.
    The solar panel is a 120 watt one that gives approx 7 amps in full sun. I have a 120 amp hour battery in the canopy that I use for the fridge at night and use the second battery in the day, when the solar panel is recharging the canopy one.
    Both batteries will run the fridge for 36 hrs on their own if needed in bad weather.
    I can always run the car if things get grim, but touch wood it hasn't yet.
    The solar panel is a Sharp brand, not the cheapest, but one of the best.
    It puts out about 26 volts and max 7 amps.(I think, don't quote me till I check)
    Obviously you enjoy your bush camping as much as we do!
    Gavin
