In late 2015 I had enough of my job after being in the same place for 23 years. After one rough week, I jokingly said to my wife, ‘why don’t we just get out and do a trip around Australia?’. Not surprisingly she said, ‘let’s do it!’ Since then it’s been all systems go with research, planning and lots of buying! We headed to Mackay in April 2017 to finish things off in the vehicle and caravan and look to finally hit the road in July 2017.
The market is flooded with so many companies offering an array of solar panels, making it a bit of a headache finding the right fit for your needs. On a recent trip, the duo from Summit2Sea took one of ours with them and put it to the test. Here's what they had to say about it.
My wife and I are in our mid 30’s with a 3-year-old son, and we are travelling Australia full time. We were both working full time and with life’s general commitments we decided we’d had enough of the everyday grind.
Once we decided to go, we got organised relatively quickly. With the house tenanted, our possessions either sold, donated or stored and the remainder packed into our Mitsubishi Triton and a Cub Campers camper trailer, we were ready to go. We work as we travel to fund the trip. We left home January 2016 so have been on the road around 16 months, 12 of those in Queensland alone.
If you’re from Western Australia or the Northern Territory and are familiar with REDARC chances are at some stage you have crossed paths with Scott Montgomery, REDARC’s State Area Manager for WA/NT. We recently sat down with Scott and asked him all the tough questions so you can get to know him better!
