CasePower – A new battery case for my iPhone

A couple of weeks ago Tribal Rewards, the loyalty program for Family Parks, put out a competition via their newsletter, The Tribal Drum. All i needed to do was email them telling them what my favourite “app” was for use by caravaners and campers.

Well, as you have seen on many of my recent posts, Instagram easily took that spot. I have used Instagram on all of my recent trips as a way of showing people where we are. With Instagram you have the ability to take a photo, artistically modify it, then share it with a number of different social media outlets, including twitter and Facebook. The picture is also “geotaged” with your location.

If you use Instagram yourself, look me up under the username Daw1zard.

As i was a successful winner the prize arrived in the mail today as shown below. The prize was a CasePower battery case for the iPhone. The Casepower case, from Casepoweroz contains a 1700mAh backup battery that will extend your phones on time.

Thank you Casepoweroz and thankyou Familyparks.

Canberra–Instagram and the Colorado Fuel Economy figures

 

Hi All, As i did at the end of the Perth Trip i thought i would add a copy of all the instagram photos i took whilst on this trip. In addition to that, now that i have my own tow vehicle i thought i would document its fuel economy on trips.

Fuel Economy Figures

These figures were collected using GasCuby for the Iphone. I have been using this for all of the cars i have had since getting the iphone and will be able to continue posting this data on future trips.

At the moment i am attributing the high figures on the first day of the trip to incorrect Tyre air pressure and driving style. On the trip home i adjusted the air pressures away from dealer recommendation and more in line with the car placard. I also modified my driving style. Future trips will show is this helps

Instagram Photos

Below is a series of photos i have taken using Instagram for the Iphone. These were all taken at many of the places we stopped, leave a comment if you would like to know where a particular one was taken as i tried to add these to the blog as i took them, as you may of seen at the start of the trip, but it seems to of broken my page layout so i deleted them and stopped updating.
