    Those Fiskars "Splitting Axes" are the best for camping/touring. Very tough and robust. Your 24" is probably the best allrounder. The steel is rather soft so having a puk sharpener is worth while. When splitting, Feet apart and the log in centre in front of you like a triangle. If you miss, It will follow through between your legs and not into them. When the head strikes the log, The handle should be level with the ground so it can only "Glance" sideways and not follow through. When splitting logs low on the ground is when follow through becomes an issue. You must be mindful of it and foot position more critical.

    Wow, $22500. I now feel like we got ours for a bargin. We got ours for $8500 admittedly with a generous family discount, it only had 154,000 km on it and free from any major panel damage. They had trouble selling it , I suspect because it was configured for a wheelchair access. Of course we may end up finding it there are multiple mechanical problems and have already had a fuel filter problem as it had sat for a good 12 months with virtually not being driven. Still it made it back ( just) from Brisbane to Adelaide so at least the motor is in sound condition. I tell you what these things are noisy without the floor in ;)

      @@ConnorTalks11 My wife bought it off her sister who had it gifted to her but was unable to sell it. Not sure how much effort she put in but its to our advantage. Did have a problem on the trip back with loss of acceleration and cut outs but this looks like it was a blocked fuel filter. Pity I had to pull out the existing floor to get to it but I was going to put sound deadening/insulation under anyway. I'll just make sure there is an inspection hatch this time. Its damn noisy without the floor. Other than that it seems to run ok and can slowly get started on the project.

    We have just purchased exactly the same year van which had a wheel chair lifter in it. Yes it was a buggar of a job to get out as its so heavy. Seats had already been removed save for a modified double seater which folds up to the side. Had an engineering certificate for a 5 seater so I guess the wheel chair counted as one. To another poster the original seat hole bolts where still in place and uncovered, no welding. Also had multiple railings on the floor which proved somewhat difficult to get out as it needed one person underneath to hold the nut whilst undoing from the top. One additional problem was we had a fuel issue and you guessed it the access hatch had been covered over with the floor with no inspection hatch. Something to keep in mind as for the petrol models of this era the fuel filter is incorporated in the fuel pump. Ended up ripping out the whole floor as there was so many gaps anyway and heaps of holes from the additional bolts that needed filling. . The fuel filter was absolutely caked with shit so obviously hadn't been changed in a while. These videos are proving most informative as I can now see how things are attached and the like.

    We have been travelling for over 15 years, in tents on motorbikes, in campervans, motorhomes and cars and we have never ever had a problem with people bothering us. I think the chances of people bothering you with ill intent is rather low. Oh and if someone parks close to us in a camp, we move further away or leave!

    I'm planning to convert my car into a camper, so it will really help if you could do an in-depth video on how to setup the wiring, since I'm planning to have a solar mounted on the roof and also having installed an alternator charger. Also I want a setup that's kinda almost the same as you, feel that 200 AH battery is enough for me, I'm not an electrician and never done wiring so you get my point, it can be scary for someone like me, worried that I might do something which could be a dangerous fire hazard. Anyways, I love your videos! <3
