Our journeys in our Aussie Swag campertrailer have come to an end.

After 9 years, it's time to replace the batteries in the Aussie Swag Campertrailer.

We replaced our single Coleman tent with a Dual room Smartek tent, which is faster to put up and pack up.

We replaced the incandescent globe in the external kitchen light with an LED globe.

We have installed a fan in the camper. It is a Caframo 807 Sirocco Fan White - 12 Volt.

Our gas regulator failed while we were on a trip.

We have installed an LED light in the fridge box.

We have recently replaced our Coleman Hot Water On Demand system with a Smarttek6 system.

The Aussie Swag has been rewired for solar power.

The batteries failed after 9 years use. After researching replacement batteries, I decided to stick with the Gel-Tech batteries from the USA.

After having to change the trailer plug from a large 7 pin round, to 7 pin flat so another car could tow it.
