Seem good quality ....and easy to wire.

You can simply connect to side lights like I did as I leave mine on all the time anyway or you can buy a prewired kit so they come on with engine

Quite like the tinted film. For a bit of privacy I just use the flyscreen but the film looks smart and will do a much better job.

Yeah I have to say I posted it up on Facebook on scottish motorhomers and had a lot of folk saying yes tints look good ..i might do the other window this side tomorrow and see how it looks
 
That's the main beam lightbar if you scroll back a couple of pages you'll see that one working
So you’ve got three ? What’s the idea of that....won’t one long one do ? Or does one come on at different times....and now a stupid question..If that wasn’t....do I need more then one relay thingy...and would I be getting involved with wiring up to the ignition key or something...told you I knew nothing about electrics.

Liking the updates fella. As Hymerbell stated. I too like them. Are they a generic fit? I would assume so?

Well I thought the Greek winters were poor as the tourist trade tends to wrap up in November BUT certainly by dave and marsha's posts on Facebook they were getting high teens low twenties December January and February......looking on a map its as far south as Spain so maybe its not bad after all.

Either way I'm going to take a chance i think as I want to explore other places while we still can ....and 90 days isn't enough for me

Bulgaria also gets good reports and is apparently as cheap as Spain with lots of wild spots ..
Hi Tam, I too planned to do Greece this year but had to cancel due to Covid 19. I did a bit of research into the weather and found to my dismay its more or less the same as the UK in winter. Off course there will be variables but the likelihood is a fair amount of rain and at best temp in the teens.


We plan to return end of next April for a few months when the weather is more or less guaranteed. I shall follow your journey with interest and hope it meets all of your expectations. Plenty of pictures too I hope. Safe Travels.
 
Easy enough to do?
It takes a bit of practice but I've done a few times before ....did my old mobilvetta a few years back ...but the sliding windows are a bit harder .

They two smaller ones as daytime running lights and on all the time.

The one in the middle is basically a spot light that comes on with high beam headlights so only really on dark unlit roads.

Only one relay and it just goes to side lights and battery and it detects when engine is running.
 
Another question, regarding the wind out awnings that are higher up. Is the process just the same - wind out about a metre and then take out legs? Can you reach it easy enough when it is a metre out?
