When I got it , it was set up for 2 Adults and 3 kids.

So I set about changing a lot.
The O/head storage is brilliant.

Had a 24 volt system with 200ah of amg from 600 watts of 24v panels. The whole system was wrong inverter was poor.

So changed to 12v with 400 ah of Lithium, 1400 watts of solar panels.

BTW any clues how to move this to another area?
Cheers

Kappy, speaking from experience, it would pay to carry more than one spare wheel and tyre.

"tanks" here---Kappy:-

You had BETTER GET A FEW SETS OF "TYRE DOGS" on the wheels. [e-bay lookout] [tyre pressure monitoring system]
I suggest one set with a dashboard monitor for the "running gear" , and another set for the big box plant trailer, and the bike and the bike trailer, with a monitor in the bus someplace handy to see/hear.
The units are available with multiple tyre valve senders---just cost more $$$ the more sender units you have.
On my Winnebago I had a set of 6 senders for the running wheels with a dashboard monitor, and another system with 6 senders for the trailer and spare tyres.
JUST A FEW THOUGHTS KAPPY ---I LOVE SPENDING MONEY

"tanks" here---Kappy,
I just had a look on e-bay:-
Wireless with repeater 8 sensors = $331,
10 sensors = $489,
18 sensors = $864.
All offer free postage.
lookup tyre monitor systems and play around, the prices vary for identical items.
