Struggling in Spain (1 Viewer)

[Bepto]

More over to Finistrat than Beni but looks a reasonable walk to the old town beach area. It doesn't look too shady so you should get full sun on your solars to keep your battery topped up..
Cheap food in beni will save you cooking and washing up and lower your leccy bills

I cant do walks unfortunately with my heart condition but thinking of getting an ebike to get around when the mobility scooter isnt a good option (which is most of the time). With that in mind what stores have decent models in stock in Spain, ones that are for the larger person that is? Im currently near a few big stores.

When my mother was struggling and did not want to admit to.people she was not as well as she pretended and walking distances was getting difficult
We got her an ebike. She loved it and it gave her great pleasure.
Check that you can store it easily as some are very heavy
I think its a great idea

You could try Decathlon

 

[Figaro]

Do you have a rack for storage ? A folding bike may suit your van. Decathalon usually have a good range if these one nearby

Mobility scooters are cheap to rent in Beni and there's lots of shops that do them

Im all electric and use the airfryer. & microwave alot for cooking & havent been plugged in at all since leaving the UK on the 27th March so currently sitting on hookup in a 16 euro per night site in Benidorm & back to full capacity (560ah) + I got my laundry done which was a bonus.

At risk of stating the obvious - if you are all electric, do you carry a small emergency gas stove (camping style), just in case?

No but got lots of room in the garage for a folding bike. Theres a Decathlon nearby as well as a Mediamarkt.

I have a mobility scooter in the garage already, thing is its not very good on uneven ground or rough terrain.

I ordered one from Amazon & it was supposed to be delivered the day before I left home - it didnt unfortunately so am on the lookout for one. They do one in Decathlon so might pick one up.

Yes thats the one, trouble is its about a tenner more than the one I ordered from Amazon & that came with 4x Gas cannisters too (cheapskate hat on)

I agree you are a cheapskate. But it's a lot cheaper than having to book sites for leccy.

Have I missed that your van is fullly electric with no gas. I'd be useless I'd run the battery every other day .

And that's without an airfryer or microwave.

You could order another to be delivered to the site your on.

I have to agree about you hiring a mobility scooter while you are there. You can try a few different ones and then can make a choice which one is best for you to buy and then maybe part exchange yours

My battery was at 16% when I checked onto this site, its the 1st time I've plugged in since leaving home on the 27th March so nearly 4 weeks without needing to top up isnt too bad to say I use all the hungry appliances every day.
