My movements for the next four or five days have been decided for me. Unfortunately I overloaded the 12v power socket last night and lost half of my lights as well as the socket. I checked the main fuse which was ok, so I took the front off the power board which revealed a circuit board but no fuses.
With everything shut down for the weekend in Deniliquin I was lucky to find an auto electrician this morning. He checked the wires and came to the conclusion that something has blown in the circuit board which can't be fixed so it will need replacing. Being Saturday I can't do anything now until Monday morning. I will phone Suncamper in Sydney first thing and ask them to send a new circuit board by express post, which hopefully will arrive on Tuesday.
The auto electrician is going to put a fuse in the wire running from the power socket to the circuit board, so if it happens again it will blow the fuse and not wreck the circuit board.
In the meantime I have booked into a caravan park, and I must say it is nice to sit back and relax with the air conditioning on. Since I left home a week ago the temperature has been in the low to mid thirties every day, and looking ahead at the seven day forecast there is no change expected.
