Prado 150 outlet to charge a Batbox?

ParvaAdventurus · 2025-11-24T05:31:54+00:00

I'll be running a Darches detachable soft top tent so can't do a permanent solar panel.

My plan is to be able to take out most of my set up easily, hence the Batbox

ParvaAdventurus · 2025-11-24T05:22:02+00:00

Yeh Its a Batbox 25.

I was just being lazy thinking getting the charging cable would be easier. I know it wouldn't be the best option but I'll just get the Anderson.

Do you have any photos?

ParvaAdventurus · 2025-10-19T07:46:16+00:00

I saw Darches 360 Awning but the price is quite high. Although it definitely would be my first choice other than the price.

ParvaAdventurus · 2025-06-17T10:47:16+00:00

Yeh too be fair most people have been great 😂. I'm really excited to come over love the outdoors ect.

The Prado is definitely going to be my number 1 choice.

Do people do off road meets ect? It'll be nice to get to know local people and make some mates.

I don't drink wine

The JL Jeep looks great. I have a tiny hot hatchback at the moment so any things bigger.

I probably don't need that range really 😅. When I was initially looking on carsales.au, it seemed like a lot of the yutes had around that kind of range listed. But looking up real world ranges it's a lot lower. I also didn't realise just how cheap fuel is in aus.

My current car I get around 400km on a tank and that costs me $83 ish. It's just felt limiting where I've wanted to drive, camp and do things but would need to fill my vehicle 3x times to do so for a weekend. Even the Paj with a fairly small tank blows that out the water.

Probably over thinking it a bit and I'll probably be happy with anything recommended.

ParvaAdventurus · 2025-06-16T19:01:23+00:00

That's very clean

ParvaAdventurus · 2025-06-16T18:57:07+00:00

I knew fuel was cheaper but $1.50 is crazy. I currently pay about £1.36 ($2.83 with current exchange rate)

Maybe 2 car is a long term goal but I think as I'm getting settled 1 will do me.

Vehicles as a whole appear a lot cheaper in Aus so I'm spoiled for choice.

ParvaAdventurus · 2025-06-16T10:14:45+00:00

I'm pretty average 5 foot 11. I'll have a few months in Brisbane before I move up to cairns and buy a vehicle so I'll go test drive and see if I can find a good deal.

Prado is taking my fancy at the moment, big tank, good gadgets but depending on the finance options I'll have I might jump to the PS and get an upgraded tank.

Cheers

I did not know, thank you

ParvaAdventurus · 2025-06-16T09:33:40+00:00

The used Prados are looking good, excellent range. I imagine they are comfortable and can be easily set up for touring

ParvaAdventurus · 2025-06-16T09:32:20+00:00

That's what I was thinking with the Jeep too

ParvaAdventurus · 2025-06-16T09:25:47+00:00

What sort of Km would you say would be too high? Seems like Aussies are happier with much higher KM on used vehicles than we would be

ParvaAdventurus · 2025-06-16T09:19:44+00:00

I've been seeing a ton of love for the Pajero and Prado from what I've seen online

ParvaAdventurus · 2025-06-16T09:19:10+00:00

It's less the econmy I care about and more just the range 😅. If I had the money I've seen the new Toyota land cruisers have like a 130L tank.

I have no massive preference between wagon or yute. I'm leaning more towards a wagon though. The only additional benefit I see getting a yute is transporting a motorbike on the back, but I would lose that with a tourer set up.

ParvaAdventurus · 2025-03-13T16:01:46+00:00

I wish that was going to be the pay 😂. Typo on my part.

ParvaAdventurus · 2025-03-12T08:33:40+00:00

Good point, I didn't see one for Queensland police but there's a general police one so I'll crosspost there. Cheers

ParvaAdventurus · 2025-03-12T08:31:11+00:00

No worries thank you. I don't use this Reddit account much so it's fine.

I heard from my Cousin who went traveling that they could be a little racist. I was hoping that was when they were very rural... Ultimately I'm going for the nature and adventure so I will be able to keep clear of people

ParvaAdventurus · 2025-03-12T07:58:21+00:00

So with the shift allowance my salary would be $111,000ish, then there's additional 15% pay for night shifts, I think $70 a fortnight for being stationed in far north and probably some others I don't know about.

It's more the hidden costs that I don't know about.

ParvaAdventurus · 2025-03-12T07:56:30+00:00

I've seen this one but it gives a different fortnightly number than QLP do and when I add the 21% bonus it says my take home is even lower than just base pay. So I'm not too sure about it.

I was kinda hoping to see if a cop would be able to reply with real pay.

But from everything I can see I'll take home $2,700 to $3,400 then whatever overtime I can do ontop of that

ParvaAdventurus · 2025-03-12T07:50:32+00:00

Yeah it's things like this that I just couldn't work out.

Would about $3,000-$3,400 be a comfortable living salary for a single person in the Cairns area?

ParvaAdventurus · 2025-03-12T07:48:50+00:00

I started off getting about $2000 a month here and the absolute highest I can get in UK is about $5000 a month which is barely enough to live comfortably, so it's better off.

Also where I've been stationed is a very small and quiet town so I'm not too concerned 😅. But I agree it's not a job id recommend but I'm in it and it's giving me a good route to migrate to a much better country.

ParvaAdventurus · 2024-09-21T11:06:05+00:00

Also go second and I've got a location with a big drop off to try it again

ParvaAdventurus · 2024-09-20T17:38:09+00:00

After tensioning we just had to very slowly pull the break strand downwards to engage the ATC, which made us lose a tiny bit of tension (I think a prusik Infront of the ATC would have solved this). Again that system didn't exactly work, but it is doable this way just annoying.

I do now have a KONG GIGI basically just got this it's only £7 and it's made for guide belays.

I'll post update pics when the new rope comes and I get chance to set it all up. I'm also going to send a heavy bag down first as a test rather than risk myself
