Aussie Traveller

In the building of our On The Move Grenade Series 2 caravan, we chose to have an Aussie Traveller awning, arms, mesh screens, windows and door. These great products have proved to us again, just how good the Aussie Traveller products are. Superior in every way  to say the least. We have had several comments about the screens on our windows. We have also been victims of Midgie attacks, but whilst being outside of course. We reckon that we can now predict the approximate time for these little devils to be around so we take ourselves indoors and out of their target zone. The screens handle them, no problems at all. We also have a set of the Aussie Traveller curved roof rafters for the awning. We usually install these when we are going to be in the same spot for over two nights. They reinforce the awning really well and give it a great fall from the roof line.

Ibis 3 Air Conditioner by Air Command

Hot weather in the North, but we have had cold nights. Our Ibis 3 Air conditioner has been able to cope with both extremes, and does it very well. We are most impressed by this system that comes with a remote that has an easy to read  digital display. This digital display shows the temperature set by you, fan speed indicator and mode as well as the current time. The temperature can be set and the unit left to maintain that temperature whatever mode you have chosen. The unit heats and cools our 23'6" On The Move Grenade Series 2 caravan very well and does it all silently. we have spoken to many people on the road about our van and the air conditioner is a popular topic. People have had trouble with noise, fans sounding as if they are out of balance, all types of complaints. Nothing from our Ibis 3. The panel has a low profile, so it doesn't intrude too much on the roof line. It has a series of led lights that indicate mode with the heater mode showing red. We chose to clean the easy to remove, internal filter after the Gibb River Road, this was washed and dried very quickly.
