Just ask Brendan Batty from Australian Caravan + RV who nearly ruined the family Christmas camping holiday when he arrived to find only a Read More…

Welders are ditching their unsafe and illegal 15A to 10A leads and are connecting with Ampfibian power adaptors.

You might be camping in your caravan, gardening with a hedge trimmer, installing outdoor party lights o using a concrete mixer on a building site. But risk it no Read More…

Yet more furious activity behind the scenes: after the launch of the RV-PLUS at the start of June, we immediately jumped into developing another new product. Although it has been gestating for more than six years (on-and-off), we’re about to get it over the line. It’s not a power adaptor – but you’ll be able to use it with all Read More…
