Hi,
I have finally made the commitment to embark on my solo dream trip.
Departing from Adelaide 1st May 2017.
Alice-Tanami-Broome-GRR-Darwin- Possibly Kakadu- Flinders Rangers mid July.
I'm after any tips, advice, articles, route itineraries etc on anything and everything that may be of benefit. I wont be restricted by time but I would like to watch the money where I can.
A few concerns is food, fuel, if I'm set up correctly, not to overload vehicle(max is 2960kg(I'm already 2600kg empty full fuel) & budget which I gather could be $10K ? just for the trip.
I have off road (4wd) experience
Travelling in a mechanically prepared 80 series, roof top tent, 120w portable solar panel, 60L fridge only, 100L water and recovery gear.
I will be trading the ARB RTT in on something more durable.
145L of fuel @ worst 20-25L per 100km offroading makes me think I should invest in a long range tank as I hate carrying fuel up top.
Something inside is telling me I should also invest in a small dedicated freezer which also means adding a third battery.
Glad to answer any questions about anything to give you a better scope of where I'm at with the adventure.
Many thanks for all and any input in advance.
