Due to difficulties migrating the original thread, which was massively interesting and popular with members, I am starting another one until the original can be found and  migrated to the Forum.  I apologise to the original OP but I think this is far too important not to be available. Personally, I think, because of the massive moves in technology recently, this subject should have a section by itself. I don't suppose the CC would think about that? So, anything about Solar Panels, LED lighting, Inverters, Safefill even. Anything that assists the caravanners to go off grid in fact - and saves money!!

Noted in the latest club magazine that there is Gtec battery mower on offer at £200 off RRP so all you off gridders/wild campers? can now make your grass pitch area suitable before pitchingwinkcool

if their mowers are anything like their ebikes (short of power and range) I'd get a couple of sheep to 'mow' the pitch....wink

Hi folks. For those that are interested in my journey to off grid independence,  I have posted my ‘story’ in the stories section of the website. It may be useful to those who are thinking of going off grid or at least are toying with the idea, and will no doubt save you from making the mistakes I made. I hope you find it interesting and informative.

Maybe some of you who “do Facebook” may like to join this new group started today!

As an Off-Grid site owner I and a CAMC member who spends a lot of time Off-Grid have set up this Facebook group “Caravan & Motorhome Off-Grid Group” (CAMOGG) to bring together off-grid tourers, site owners and other interested parties to share their knowledge, experiences, recommendations and to help those who wish to know more about the Off-Grid experience

Excellent group John. Everything there you could possibly want to know about Off Grid. So many people having the time of there lives without worrying about battery power. The ‘go to’ place for off gridders!

same as Dave except sub Bosch ebike batteries for mobility scooter.

our 500w mod sine wave inverter is fine for this...I just need a cheap, very low wattage hair dryer.....

as above, no need for inverters for charging phones/tablets etc.

It’s amazing how many people out there have woken up to the possibilities of off grid John, and here was me thinking I was one of just a few. People are obviously looking at the modern technologies and thinking -yeah, I can do this! It’s a very friendly group too which is a real pleasure. 👍🏻
