Protecting your rig – security options for protecting your home on wheels

This post will show you all the things we have tried or still use and how effective they were in protecting our rig. 

We have had multiple rigs over the years and tried and tested many security options.

Protecting your rig

We (like you) worked hard for our rig and in some cases, like ours, it is our home so security is important.

This explains the various ways you can protect your rig while out travelling Australia or when you store your rig for an extended time.

Australia offers so many unique experiences and has such diverse environments you will not tire of its beauty.  There are so many ways to enjoy your travel in Australia that we can only hope to inspire others to get out there and explore it any way you can. 

Free Camping 

Cake and Eat it 3 does a lot of free camping and uses  Camps Australia Wide App, Wikicamps and Camps 10 to find affordable and free camp spots.  Camps 10 is our bible and a great record of everywhere you have stayed for chatting with fellow travellers too. If lapping a wonderful momento to hold onto of your travels and all the great memories.

We highly recommend the book and have owned various editions over the years, this is, our free camping bible in Australia.

It has over 8500 sites and is updated daily. It also includes maps of each State.  Great for talking with other campers,  planning your route and a great souvenir to have of your trip when you return home.

Apps & Maps for Travel in Australia

Here is a blog post we did on what Apps & Maps to take when Travelling in Australia.

We are lovers of free camping so most are aimed at making life easier, more affordable and safer when free camping.

You can see the youtube video discussing these and other groups to join here.

Quarantine Borders

It is very important to be aware of the Quarantine checkpoints around Australia where you will have to hand in selected fruit and vegetables, nuts and honey. This can be quite costly if you have not made yourself aware of their locations.  We generally keep a number of base meals that do not require fruit or vegetables that we use when winding down ready for crossing these areas.  It is important to be honest, the rules are there to protect our fruit and vegetable industries from contamination across these borders.

Phone Reception

If you are wondering what telephone supplier to use when travelling in Australia, our recommendation is Telstra.  No other provider can offer the coverage especially in more remote areas than Telstra. They can be a bit more expensive, but you will not regret it.

Fitness on the road

Keeping fit and healthy at any time is important.  On the road between wine and cheese and beer and nuts there is a plethora of ways to keep fit.

Here is a bunch of ways we have found to fit fitness, into every day life on the road!

Add to this normal walking around site seeing, bikes if you take them and there are no excuses!

Rubbish 

We are big advocates of LEAVE NO TRACE.  This means if you make a mess, clean it up.  If you have rubbish and there are no bins, take it with you.

You can pick one of these picker upperers Miss B is using, from Bunnings Stores for $9.95.

We spend a lot of time picking up other peoples rubbish at various campsites to help keep Australia beautiful.  

Washing on the road

Check out our post on the washing options available when travelling fulltime, ways to save money and conserve water.

Cleaning on the road

Post on all things cleaning including how to clean up a spaghetti bolognese without water – not kidding. Conserve water, chemical free cleaning – one bottle does it all, without the nasties.
