Fridges for weekends away
With national park on the doorstep and the hills behind, plenty of Swan View locals head out camping. Running a fridge for a few days needs a second battery so the starting battery stays full. A DC-DC charger is the usual choice for modern vehicles. Our guide on DC-DC chargers vs isolators helps you choose. Size the battery for the fridge and the days away.

Wiring chewed in the bush
Being right on the edge of John Forrest National Park means wildlife and rodents close to home. Chewed wiring can cause intermittent faults that come and go, which are hard to track down. Fixing damage properly with soldered or crimped joins and heat-shrink matters, as tape alone won't last. Once repaired, wrapping the loom in protective tape or split conduit makes it less appealing to chew.

Towing out of the hills
Towing a trailer or camper down from Swan View onto Roe Highway puts weight on brakes and lights. Make sure the trailer plug is clean and tight, and the earth wire runs back to the plug rather than relying on the trailer frame. Our guide on trailer lights that won't work walks through the checks. Check the brake controller too.

Lights for the scarp
Hills roads at night are dark, and kangaroos are common. Good LED headlights where they're legal for your vehicle, driving lights on a relay and clean lenses all help. If your lights look dim, check the globes and the earth connections behind the headlight before buying new lamps. Corroded earths are especially common on older vehicles that live outdoors. Aim new driving lights carefully so they don't dazzle oncoming drivers on winding roads.

Swan View auto electrical questions
Do I need a dual battery for a weekend away?
If you're running a fridge for more than a day without driving, yes, a second battery is a good idea. It powers the fridge and lights without draining the starting battery, so you can always start the car. For a single night with a small fridge, some people manage with a portable power station instead.
Can I fix chewed wires with electrical tape?
Tape is fine for a quick roadside fix, but it doesn't last. Heat, vibration and moisture make tape peel off. A proper repair uses the right size wire, crimped or soldered joins, and heat-shrink tubing to seal them. If several wires are damaged, it's often worth having an auto electrician check the whole loom.
Local tip for Swan View
Before a weekend camping trip from Swan View, run the fridge on the second battery overnight in the driveway. In the morning, check the battery voltage. If it has dropped a lot, the battery may be weak or the charging setup may not be working. It's far easier to sort out at home than at a campsite.
