THIS week I bought

[JockandRita]

Looks ok, must admit the thought of taking a hole saw to ours and limited places we can locate it makes me think something like that may be a better alternative.

Assume thats some sort of quick release connection. Where did you get yours?

I am happy with the small black filler in the alloy skirt for Autogas filling, but I wasn't keen on a big white plastic Bullfinch or Truma cover for the BBQ point, adorning the side wall of the MH. Also, after time, the covers yellow with exposure to the sun. ☹

Google Truma BBQ point. It can be fitted either encased, or without. It uses a GOK QR fitting. You cannot turn the valve on until the male is inserted, thereby sliding the locking collar forward. GOK do one with a red on/off valve.

Ash, from http://www.motorhomecaravanserve.co.uk/ fitted it for me, as I don't have the correct tools. He also incorporated a pressure testing point into the system, for the purpose of safety checks.

I fancy a portable induction hob

Aldi or Lidl do them frequently Martin, for around the £40 mark for up to 2Kw. They operate as low as 200w.
We've used ours extensively since owning our (new to us) palace, with it's extensive 12v power system.

Cheers,

Jock.

Since getting a new van I thought there would be nothing to buy

How wrong could I be

2 new solar regulators.

Carpet for inside and garage (different carpet).

New bedding,

New towels.

Tie downrange for scooter.

Quick release brackets for mountain bikes.

VB Battery master.

New Avtes Smart TV + soundbar.

TV aerial.

I fancy a portable induction hob and 360 deg camera system but don't tell Jen as i'm still working on good behaviour and brownie points.

Martin, that's always the problem with buying a cheap little starter motorhome. The spec is always too low

Ref induction hobs:

Does that mean that the current draw is no more than 200w when in use or that you can lower the temperature but it will still draw 2kw?

Lower consumption Mel. 2Kw is it's maximum. The Aldi one we bought also has a temperature setting if required, a timer, and a child lock.

Cheers,

Jock.

That's interesting, the ones I've seen were a single power input, this makes yours much more suitable for use in a MH and on sites.

It’s like any other job in that it’s easier if you have the right tools

We’ve had one at home for months. Very impressed. Where do you get replacement beads ?

Ebay

Most people find a wind break easier to put up quickly when they arrive on site.

I'm looking for a new TV, which Avtes Smart TV did you go for and why ?
Thanks

I got the 27inch connected series and then fitted the Avtex sound bar underneath, not used much yet but happy so far.

We have an LG Smart TV which is great with all the apps - got the Avtex sound bar as a Christmas present and makes a MASSIVE difference - before, if it was raining hard on the roof you couldn't hear the telly - now it is no problem, plus you get the bluetooth connection for music,

Previously bought this set Amazon product ASIN B013BEIPBW to try on the motorhome - it's quick & easy does a great job so today bought the trade version https://shop.statuscarcare.com/prod...6O8bUO8N0VPzIHJKnG67wtnNa7Lh8MPBoCgEUQAvD_BwE so plenty to do the house windows, conservatory etc too.

4 new tyres for our Hymer, get to use them in anger for the next week.

 

[Pausim]

51 litre water hog. We are not using communal showers and toilets which means using a lot more water. A big barrel and a transfer pump will reduce the water fill up trips.

Last year’s purchase of an Efoy fuel cell is also working well. We are in our second week of camping without ehu and it is reliably keeping up with with our daily 40+Ah consumption (domestic and CPAP). Dark cloudy days and shading trees no longer an issue, not missing the solar panels and fuel used is only about 0.5 l per day.

Sounds interesting. We have been pondering whether to purchase a solar panel. Does this system also power your fridge ?

Got the same machine, got it for £15 when ordering 500 capsules on the Nespresso website.
Great Machine!

It was an amazing deal, I couldnt believe it to be honest, Had it around 4 months and well on with consuming the coffee

I use gas for the fridge, probably cheaper than Efoy fuel.

We like a G&T when lazing at the van so we bought an ice-making machine because it's not the same without ice, and a soda stream to make the tonic with, both fit perfectly in a cupboard and both weigh under 6KG
Ice Machine makes 9 cubes every 6 mins and can make 12kg in 24 hours.
One bottle of Tonic Mixer makes between 9-11 litres depending on taste, the gas bottle for the Soda Stream makes 60 litres.
Ice Machine Dimensions: 32cm x 24cm x 32 cm (L x W x H) Weight 5KG
Voltage: 220-240 V Power: 110 W

Just bought one of these lithium power banks.
Was sick of trailing cables and want to run all sorts of stuff anywhere. Will run my Transcool, charge my phone, run my projector etc. It will charge from my 12v system / solar during the day and has 60000 mah battery. Been testing it out and it seems great. Will be giving it a full workout at Peterborough show if the weather is good I will set up my outdoor cinema and run it through it. Ebay link

All our Fiamma Pro C CarryBike fittings are knackered. We're at the tying bikes on with string stage.

Started pricing up spares and after 10 mins realised it was cheaper and easier to just get a shiny new one for €179.

 

[Ninovan]

VB semi air fitted by Solar Solutions in Wimborne, Dorset. Very pleased, can now raise the back of the van by 3”+, as had been having problems grounding with long overhang & fitted towbar. Would highly recommend SS to anybody, great service, very professional & did the job while I waited although a courtesy car is available if required.

 

[2CVer]

Another vote for Solar Solutions. They did a very professional job of installing VB levellers on my MH.
