Awning or Sunshade ? (7 Viewers)

[sweet caroline]

I am very much a NEWBIE , with my Bentley Cobalt, and booking sites, it states Awning booking EXTRA?
Does a Sunshade from your van, but with no sides, constitute as an Awning? As I see people on the sites, that I go to with so many attachable awnings and blow up thingies attached to their van, I can well understand that they would be called Awnings . But a pullout shade, with no sides ? Is this also an awning that needs to be paid for please ?

Thanks guys

That's a good way of frying your batteries. You should never discharge lead batteries at more than the C5 rate which for your batteries is 38 amps. You are drawing approx 110 amps your batteries won't last long you really need to fit another 3 batteries or change to Lithium.

Yes I understand that, for now it works until I go lithium.

Also, is there an Airfryer, that can be used in a motorhome with an inverter for 1000 volts on board. I haven't used my own oven for over 3 years since having my airfryer, and would love to use one suitable for a motorhome, without tripping the whole site ! haha

1000 volts?

That'll be a bit slow on 240v!

(1000W )

We were looking at some low powered ones in Currys a few weeks ago.

We use a £40 airfyer from Aldi 1500w 2000w inverter.
Having said that we’ve spent cash on top notch inverter and solar upgrades plus 230w Fogstar battery and dc to dc charger.
All Victron and professional installed

We use a ninja wood fire bbq grill and works perfect even on a temporary site. Cadac not used but available if off grid

My inverter is top notch too but have not yet fitted Lithium batteries - that will be the next upgrade after the LPG installation that will be done in September. Meanwhile all seems good for now.

Fry the sausages or the batteries

What is the answer to the question

What inverter ? I manage without one. But not got an airfryer either.

But that would involve cooking

I avoid that as well.

This suggests that sweet caroline is planning to use it on EHU.

Hi, an awning has a top, sides and a front, a canopy (sunshade) only has a top!

Nah, Vaseline doesn't do it and my doors don't squeak either.

You haven't got the quality anti theft devices I have
Squeaky doors
Old van fiat flake on the paint work
And I always park next to.posh ones

 

[sweet caroline]

Thank you guys for all the above information, whatever it meant ! hahah

I will say, that the Airfryer is ONLY USED on EHU, I never run it from the batteries, although previous owner, stated that he used the microwave off grid ? I don't think I would use either of these appliances, with EHU.
Hope this satisfies the worries? thank you for all your help, I really appreciate your kindness

Here at Moreton in Marsh CMC site my wind out sun shade is classed as an awning

Yes I believe the initial surge can be the 1200W stated on the label but after it reaches temperature (which it does very quickly due to it's reduced size), to maintain it, it obviously uses a lot less.

Just so you are aware.
That 'initial surge' as you describe it when the fryer uses 1200 watts is what the air fryer uses EVERY TIME! the onboard thermostat switches the fryer back on.
I'm with DBK and Lenny HB on this.
Thinking that you can use an air fryer is going to end in tears.

Sweet Caroline says she will only use the Airfryer on EHU, so hopefully there won’t be any tears!

Well it's working for now, 3 months in. When the batteries are done, I'll install lithium.

Let me put it this way.
When you switch on the air fryer (and let's assume it's 1200watts), until it gets up to its operating temp. it's using your batteries at 100amps per hour. From then on, it's using, ball park, 1.66amps per MINUTE.
I appreciate that it doesn't take an hour to get up to speed but the above has to be acknowledged when considering the use of air fryers.

Yes, I appreciate that. I use it at lunchtime and the solar is working. As I've said, it's fine for now.

I was putting it 'out there' for Funsters who might not know.

Interesting!

I thought the CAMC didn't class them as an awning!

Are you on a non-awning pitch?

Yes, that is all they had available for our short notice break.
