This is what we all do in reality, but, as mentioned above, it is actually illegal and you couldn't get it tagged as such. Just not that keen to buy a gadget that does the same thing for $240 that we're never going to use for anything again.

I'll be at Jambo no matter what, but having camped all over Australia, I've never heard such weird camping regulations. Just means no power for us, I suppose.

Hmmmm, me neither in all my travels.....


OK PK, here's a question:
My camper has a 100AH deepcycle battery, running 12V merit plug outlets and LED strip lights.
To charge it, it has a 40A 240v Xantrex Truecharge charger. Normal 240v plug.
Can i plug that in to the Lardner power supply to keep the battery topped up?
Do i have to get it tested and tagged? And what of a 15A (but normal sized pin) power extension cord? (ie not a 'caravan' extension lead)

Or it it easier to just bring the Honda 1.0 genny and charge the battery off that?
