THIS week I bought

@iDriver:
Very sparse details on the Vb site. Would you mind sharing the cost? Did you ask how much to fit?
I reckon it would be particularly useful for levelling up. If I do get around to buying an MP3 for the back garage, I'll need such a kit.
Thanks

You buy through their eBay site. It's actually a Euroair system.
 
When we both retired we got rid of Sues Smart car and managed with just one large car. Recently Sue has been a bit deflated after recovering well from her cancer ops and we both felt that having only one car was affecting our independences so on Wednesday we bought a new Smart car! Really good deal on a one month old pre registered model, drive home the same day jobbie. Only disappointment was that they don’t qualify for free or reduced road tax anymore. Sue is now happier than I have seen her for many months!

an infra red floodlight.. The led's that are built in to the camera are ok(ish) but the floodlight will fill an awful lot of darkness that is present at the moment

I bought the Uuni 3 portable Pizza Oven Gas Burner (to go with the oven and wood pellet burner I was given for my birthday last week). It all folds down into the box for easy transportation in the M/H. Of course, you can use it as a conventional oven too and looking at the videos, will be much better than my Dometic Tower oven which is dire.

Not tried it out yet though (https://uk.ooni.com/)

So, first time heating her up she did get rather hotter than expected (or indeed, what it would have with the wood pellets)
Burner was set to lowest setting when this was taken

Pizza was awesome

Temperature of the chimney stack, the cooking stone was at 632 degrees!

That is sooo cute; it looks like a little Panda

I installed one of these - IBM Thinkbox M900 Tiny running Windows 10.

I used 3M VHB to stick it to the wall in the electronics bay - rock solid, all solid state (including the 2x 500Gb internal flash drives) HDMI out to the TV and sound-bar - bluetooth mouse and keyboard so no cables anywhere - Bingo.

Hopefully I will get a bit more pressure out of the loo flush with this replacement for the 12L/min one.

Anther 60ml Gorilla Glue... love that stuff... seems to stick anything and everything

It must be better than Gorilla tape then, because I find that only sticks to its self.

We have a set of saucepans that are about 30 ears old. The lid handles are quite large and display the temperature of the pot. The clear plastic is getting a little brittle and now, if a lid is dropped they tend to break off !
one of them are now stuck together using the stuff..one of which was fixed two years ago
Our old teapot ( china ) had the lid badly damaged when one of the great grandkids thought it would look better on the floor..
The knob on the top to pick the lid up by was broken off and the lid snapped in two
Gorilla glue to the rescue.. and that was at least three years ago !
I could go on, but suffice to say it has yet to fail in a task :-)

Just bought another halogen spotlight and swapped the halogen bulb for a LED, hopefully Mandy will be able to see at night to make her bracelets.

I made a purpose built mug holder from several pieces of plastic foam. I stuck all the bits together with Gorilla glue and trimmed off the bubbles when the glue set. Jobs a good un! Put two mugs in it and it all fell to pieces.........Gorilla glue certainly doesn't stick foam!

Soo is the name of the panda in the Sooty show! That's what Sue has called it now, thanks for the idea!

Just keep it away from Sooty and Sweep otherwise it might end up with big tummy! :D

Dunno what you did but I have used it to rebuild a motorbike foam insert..and it it STILL together now after several thousand miles !
The trick seems to be get it REALLY wet, and leave for a full 24 hours

Lots of folk don't realise that pizza should be cooked at temperatures WAY higher than an ordinary oven can get to the lowest temperature you SHOULD cook pizza at is 400°C that way the crust is crispy the cheese had melted and it's hot

REAL fast food
 
This week I bought......

TyrePal Solar and 6 sensors for our Morelo in a 20% off Black Friday offer. The cost for this and two additional sensors was £121 (including the 20% discount and VAT).

It's a good deal smaller than it looked on the website (I've noticed a recent tendency to show large images of items but with no reference, hence my 50p coin in this image to give you some idea how small or large, it is). Shown here having its initial charge.

This is a really nice little piece of kit and I can recommend it (or any other TPMS system).

I forgot about the spare tyre (and read about fitting sensors to the spare tyre in the manual) so will order an additional sensor and install it as it's all too often forgotten (and is very much needed if one of the other sensors detects a puncture).

Hi @OurMoreloLife,
Can you put a link up to the site. I've been considering this and the 20% has swung it. Thanks.

Thanks for the heads up. I added the repeater also - having no experience of these and being 9m long, I think one was needed.

You could well be spot on with the repeater option. I didn't order one yet but will set it all up tomorrow and let you know if it works on our 9.5m MH (its a waste if you don't need it) but the spare wheel is way way back from the dash where the display will be mounted so you could well have a point there!

With this unit installed does it show the accurate tyre pressure so I no longer need to take tyre pressures manually? Or is it simply a warning device for flagging up over heated or low pressure tyres (an important enough reason never the less)? Do you need the tyres rebalanced with the unit on? How do the units communicate with the control - do they need to be recharged?
 
@OurMoreloLife
Thanks. I bought the repeater because I'm out of the country and didn't want to get back to the Moho and have to hang around waiting - if I needed it, so I shall be interested to hear how consistent a signal you get from the back.
I haven't looked your Moho up, but does your spare make a 7th wheel?

I have a 4 wheel system fitted and been using it for a year or three. I've found that the pressures it displays are accurate, compared to manually checking them with a gauge, so although it doesn't say you may do this I am happy just to refer to the monitor for tyre pressures. The wheels do not need re-balancing, the sender units are very light and don't affect the balance. The units communicate, I believe, by Bluetooth or maybe short range wireless - I'd have to check the specifications to be sure, but whatever, they do. You have to travel a few yards until the sensors "wake up" and start transmitting; they go into sleep mode when stationary to save the batteries. They are not rechargeable so the batteries do need to be periodically replaced, an easy enough job with the tool supplied and my first set lasted around two years (we do around 12k miles p.a.. I carry a spare set of batteries as they're not a very common type - you can buy them from TyrePal but I got mine cheaper on-line. You know when the batteries are failing by erratic readings.

An excellent piece of kit, wouldn't be without it now.
 
I installed my system today; it does take some time though.

I found the pressures between my digital display on the inflation pump and the sensors varied by quite a bit (my pump is pretty old though). All of my tyres needed air to bring them up to the specified pressure. The sensors all worked well and there were no issues (yet) od the display getting a signal from the wheel sensors. I'll bet the sensor on the spare struggles though.

I found the little spanner for the lock nuts a little tricky to use as it's a little flimsy and the space available around the valve is very tight. They supplied rubber O rings but there is no mention of them in the manual (other than the parts list). I assumed they fit between the sensor and the top cap but didn't fit them.
