The versatile campervan
Have you noticed that your Campervan’s hot water isn’t quite so hot when you setup camp off-grid in the high country?
The efficiency of Propane-fuelled heating appliances decreases at altitudes above 600 metres (2000 ft). In our experience, our LPG-heated hot water becomes noticeably less hot once we are camped at altitudes above 800 metres. When camped at Jindabyne, for example, at 900 metres, our hot water is warm rather than hot.
Why is this so?
(Updated September 2022)
After a couple of years of border restrictions preventing interstate travel due to COVID-19, most travel restrictions affecting Campervan, Motorhome and caravan travellers have now been lifted. Widespread vaccination regimes have assisted in making chronic infection at least manageable.
States and territories can still apply their own entry and travel restrictions if they consider such measures necessary.
Some states may require registration (optional) when entering hospitality and retail outlets, and this is usually done through a QR code app. Download the relevant app before entering each state.
Social distancing is still respected in all states and territories. Face masks may be required on public transport in some states. Restrictions may apply in health care and aged care facilities.
Most importantly, travellers should respect the needs, sensitivities and vulnerabilities of regional communities.
