Hi, we have just today picked up our new Jayco Expanda pop top van and are starting to prepare for the commencement of our big trip back to Qld in March. I want to set it up so we have the ability to 'bush camp' for a few days (potentially up to 5 days) at a time in between van parks.
I stopped into a well know 12 volt retailer in Perth who quoted us the best part of $4k for them to fit 4 Uni-Solar pads, and all the gear to go with it. Thinking this price was out there, I went to another who was over double the price.

I don't mind paying top $$$ for top service and products, I just prefer to do it through the wallet and not the nose.

Apart from the usual lights etc, we will be running 12 volt TV at times (10yo daughter thing) Waeco CF50 as a freezer and a CF80 as the fridge (between sites these will be in the back of the cruiser). I guess my question is, with such a huge variation between prices for what I can make of is basically a similar set & installation, what would be a realistic price to pay, and is there a better way to go about it?

Cheers
