Off-Grid RV Living: Your Essential Checklist for Remote Winter Travel in Australia

Planning to go off-grid this winter? Here’s your must-have checklist for off-grid RV living in Australia—plus the Topargee gear that makes remote travel safer, smarter, and a whole lot more comfortable.

Why Off-Grid RV Living Is Booming in Australia

There’s something magical about leaving the hustle of everyday life behind and heading into the wide-open spaces of Australia’s rugged outback or lush mountain ranges. More Aussies are turning to off-grid RV living—especially during winter—to enjoy cooler temps, uncrowded campsites, and uninterrupted time in nature.

But remote travel comes with its own challenges. Staying safe, powered, and water-wise is critical when you are hours from the nearest town. That’s where Topargee comes in.

Whether you're a full-time vanlifer or a weekend warrior, here's your ultimate winter off-grid RV checklist, complete with essential gear from the Topargee Range—equipment made to keep you running smoothly, even in the most remote corners of Australia.

✅ Your Ultimate Off-Grid Winter RV Checklist

1. Know Your Water—Down to the Litre

Water anxiety is real when you're camping off-grid. You find yourself rationing showers, skipping dishwashing, and guessing how much water is actually left in your tank.

The Topargee Water Tank Gauge changes that completely. Unlike traditional tank level sensors, this system tells you exactly how many litres you’ve got left in your tank—right down to the last drop.

It's one of the best investments you can make for winter travel, especially when you're free camping for multiple nights and can't refill easily.

2. Stop Wasting Water (and Heat!) With Showermi$er

Cold mornings and limited water make for tricky showers. That’s why the Topargee Showermi$er is a winter essential.

This clever little device reroutes cold water back into your tank while you wait for the hot water to arrive—meaning no wasted water and no freezing toes.

It works with most RV plumbing setups and is one of the simplest ways to stretch your supply further.

3. Shower Anywhere Anytime: The Evershower

Off-grid life doesn’t have to mean skipping showers or relying on freezing creeks. The Topargee Evershower is a game-changer for remote travellers who still want the luxury of a hot, private shower—anywhere, anytime.

This fully portable, self-contained shower tent can be set up indoors or outdoors, with or without plumbing. You can recirculate water to get multiple showers from just 3–5 litres, and the unit packs down compactly, making it perfect for space-conscious vanlifers.

Best of all? You can use it with solar-heated water, a portable hot water unit, or simply boil the kettle and pour away.

4. Sleep Matters—Even More Off-Grid

Sleeping in remote places shouldn't mean roughing it. The Topargee Adventure Sleep Range offers lightweight, quick-dry, and ultra-comfy bedding designed for life on the road.

From snowy riverside camps to starry nights in Victoria’s High Country, this range keeps you warm, cosy, and well-rested—so you can make the most of every day outdoors.

Gear That Goes the Distance

Off-grid living isn't just about surviving—it’s about thriving. And that takes gear that works as hard as you do.

Topargee’s Product Range offers real solutions to the real challenges of remote travel:
