Hi from Wendy & Paul

Post by kiwipaul »

T1 pointed me in this direction so saying g'day. ;)
Wendy quit work @ 7 years ago when she moved from Melbourne to join me in Gippsland, about 2 years ago she officially retired.
I'm presently on leave; with enough leave for another 120 shifts at which time I'll quit work & retire too. So we have lots of time to do things (but still very little gets done. :lol: )

We purchased a Winjana 5th wheeler from Toowoomba and were there for the entire construction time. Had to be up there as with T1's guidance I had constructed a 400Ah LiFePO4 pack that was delivered and in place during construction (built into the van). The tug is an Iszuz D-Max and they seem well matched (I just need more reversing practice).

Besides vanning we also enjoy using our timeshare both domestic & international. We do cycle (not often enough), a bit of walking and maybe next summer get back into our kayaks.

Welcome to our forum Wendy & Paul from Wendy & myself.
Sorry I never noticed your post waiting for approval. One more to go then you're open slather.
Love the sound of the outfit you have.... gotta make a few of us a little jealous!!
You'll love the LiFePO4 batteries once you have them nutted out a bit.
Are they @ 12V ?

Nutted them out a while ago, also in T1's forum.

I'm assuming you are the 'houseboat' Bruce from the same forum which hopefully gets me through the 'non-spam' filter. :lol:

edit:
yes it did, no more waiting...

Hi Paul & Wendy, welcome to another friendly forum :) Paul posts under another name on the CF but I'll let him tell you what that is if he wants everyone here to know :lol: Hope you enjoy it here and help to keep the posts flowing as it does tend to get a bit quite here sometimes, everyone seems to be out there doing it rather than talking about it... the way should be really

Under CF I tend to be a bit more assertive (contentious ?) But I'll bet most would be able to join the dots.
I'm opinionated and lots of experienced in many areas. Then again some think I'm just pigheaded. :lol:
Here "seems" to be smaller & therefore should be more friendly; like the Li thread which T1 started where I just give opinions where I have some knowledge & ask questions where I don't have knowledge.

I'm me... your opinion of me is yours... 8-)

:lol: No, we had a few running battles on electrical threads which was quite amusing as we would compare notes on the private forum as to who we had sucked in :lol:

Opinionated huh! I was accused of being that so who cares everyone is allowed an opinion.
Are you from NZ?
