Yep!. It's like we've died and gone to heaven. We're back on the coast. The temperature has dropped about 8 deg and there's a light breeze blowing.... every day...!!!!!
We're camped in a park 200m from Cable Beach and about 4km from Broome (the town). We could easily come back for 2-3 months each year. I've even glanced at the realestate.
I don't know how we've done it, but we've arrived bang in the middle of the "Shinju Matsuri" Festival.... and it's been awesome with Dragon Boats, fireworks, cultural displays, food, music and other festivities.
Technical:
We may have solved our electrical problems. We had the van built with a second battery. It seems that the second battery was treated as an "add-on" and was attached to the original battery by 2 x 30amp cables only. We had a professional have a look at it and he's remarkably increased the size of the cables linking the batteries and altered the wiring from the charger so that it now reacts to the condition of both of the batteries. We've been through several discharge/charge cycles and the batteries are now pretty well balanced and we're getting far less "peaky" demand. We've also bought a portable 120watt panel to help supplement our existing solar capacity. We now have 430watts.
