Tam and Toby ~~ Hunting Zorba .....Take two.

But the price is quite rounded - at least the 000,000s are

Ha ha yeah i can imagine

The panel vans themselves are expensive enough before the converters get their hands on them

I must be the only person in the world who doesn't have a huge indoor workspace for this kind of thing. I've been contemplating a van conversion, but somewhere to do it is the biggest problem!

That looks good. Even got double skinned flue to help the draw (and stop the tent catching fire). Looks a good size for a medium sized van too.

Glorious day today ... cold breeze but nice in the sun

Perfect day for housework and giving Toby a good airing and blow through

My rather fine collection of sea urchin shells

Milo's not daft, Auntie Jackie has parked her van so that a dog can lie in the sun, his Dad is a bit slower to cotton on to these essentials

Yeah ive seen that ....its a bit of a bucket and too pricey . No side doors either
Theres better in Germany for less

Besides i really want LHD if i can get one

 

[Northernraider]

Tried to fly out to the little church from standing at the van ....little bit windy and i was getting weak signal warnings so this is as far as i got....might try again tomorrow as the sun was so bright the pics aren't great.

Nice sunset over snowy mountains

Freezing again this morning.....its actually so cold theres steam coming off the sea

Not sure if we will see the sun today as its not forecast .... fortunately only a few days of low temperatures and its due to start rising again from tomorrow....

 

[nicholsong]

Temp in Poland was -14C when we got up this morning. Can you beat that?

No you win

And im quite happy about that lol

Its only been down to - 1 here overnight thankfully ...daytime has been ok mostly but forecast is around 9° for today which isn't the best ...

Moving on a bit anyway which will put a bit charge in my batteries.

Definitely putting a b2b in my next van for days like these.

Sunny from tomorrow onwards though so thats good

 

[Podney]

Tam,excuse the probably daft question,but what does a b2b system do,that you haven’t got in Toby? Does it mean the solar charges both batteries not just the leisure? Thanks.

Its like a split charger but more powerful so charges the leisure batteries more when you are driving.

My solar charges all batteries and its working good when its bright or sunny

But on days like this where its cloudy etc i get very little from the solar and if using the heating etc at night i struggle for power.

Fed up with it so next van im investing in proper kit so i never have to worry about power.
