RV FEATURE
This story starts with a family travelling and exploring Australia . We are a family of five who have crammed ourselves into a tin can ( our beautiful caravan / home on wheels ) to chase the ever-elusive dream .
With our five-year-old twins and our four-year-old ‘ surprise ’ in tow , we were super-excited to pack up our house , pack our caravan , and head off into the countryside . Little did we know that packing our whole life into 21ft would be so challenging .
It quickly became evident that not only did every item need to be carefully considered , each item also needed to have dual uses .
As caravan owners previously , we understood that comfort off-grid equalled longer times spent offgrid . Longer times off-grid meant more money saved .
So it was essential that we installed anything that encouraged airflow to help with those hot , sticky nights we knew we would encounter .
Kat and Stu Sobczyk are currently travelling Oz with their three kids .
This is when we looked upon the Canada-made Sirocco II fan . With its multidirectional airflow , three different speeds and timer function , we knew these fans were a must . In fact , we installed six in our new home / circus on wheels , one on each side at the end of the master bed , one in the living area opposite the kitchen , and one at the foot of each bunk .
After living in our van for less than a week , it became quickly apparent that these fans were absolute lifesavers . Not only did they cool us for two months straight ( 24 hours a day ) as we travelled up the west coast , it turns out they had multiple uses .
