First prospecting with the 3" Hydro-Force nozzle this year starting Friday, everything loaded in the van & looking forward to it

plenty of room to move around this year, it beats sleeping in the car... TV-DVD elverk, kylskåp, spis etc, etc.... Happy

What pump are you using for it?

Aquatek69 · 11 Mars, 2015, 22:16:47

Hyundai HY80, I spoke with the manufacturer of the Hydro-Force nozzle & he thinks it will work fine especially since it has a smooth reducer from 3" down to 2" off the pump... This weekend is a test but I'm pretty confident that it will work ok.

Yeah, could be better, more pressure less volume but I'm sticking to the 80 as it's what I bought with the highbanker

I tried the pump with the Hydro-Force 300 yesterday & it works well, I moved a LOT of riverbed!!!!

New awning (Markis).
There is a kit that can turn this into a room.... Hmm.....

It was really great to see your van. I think you got a perfect vehicle for prospecting.

Thanks

The next thing will be solar panels on the roof, I have a small generator in the back so i'm pretty much self sufficient for a couple of weeks

I know it's easy to install a second fuel tank too so that's on the list at some point, that will give me 150ltrs & it uses 1.2/10km so plenty of range....

Removed the old black 180ah battery as it was tired & fitted 2x140Ah new ones in parallel, once the solar panel(s) are on the roof it will be a great system......

Im sure your electrical system will do a great job!
I have also installed a system with solar panels in my caravan, 90 ah battery, 135w solar panels with a MPPT charge regulator and a small 12/240V pure sinus inverter, hopefully I´m going to be self sufficient on the small amount of electrical power I need out in the "bush".

It's very, very easy to be uncomfortable so I'm slowly adding items to make extended trips easier, just fitted a digital TV antenna as I'm sick of watching "die hard 4" over & over

You mean you got time to watch tv? I thought you dug until dark then you sleep and repeat next morning

Hehe, I like to have some time off at the end of the day to heal my aching bones these days, after a full day in the river I usually feel broken & could need a Thai massage but forget the ""happy ending"! 😆😆
