A few really good ideas for storage and cleaning - am curious what you had in the little Mason Jar bags. I have a couple of small portable fans, one is USB powered, the other rechargeable - great for getting some airflow going. My tip for you is to get 12v adapters for your laptops, you're using the EcoFlow to go from 12v up to 240V with its inverter when laptops use around 19V. If you've got Macbooks you can just get a PD cable. I charge my Macbook up in the campervan even when I'm at home by using 12V via a PD cable and a cig socket adapter that cost about GBP20 off Amazon in total for a pair. Add some more 12V USB points in suitable spots around the van and save energy when off grid - also better for charging smart phones off pure 12v instead of a USB on a 240V socket.

@@johnmcclurey4035 thanks John, appreciate the feedback. The OHREX was chosen as it allows entry of dimensions and because it was £80 (two years later it’s cheaper!) it’s been great, although after 12 months the battery became poor so only works when plugged in. It has been very accurate and I would buy another. My data usage has changed, so now I have mobile data I am missing live traffic so maybe next time I’ll look for one that connects to phone data??

I was trying to see if you had the ceiling mounted reading lights. We changed ours in our caravan for ones with a USB socket. They are dead easy to change because they are the same dimensions but with a USB socket. Just a thought if you still won’t more sockets.

Wow Bob, we were literally just discussing our lack of usb’s again just now!!! Presume we just unscrew, then disconnect the current lights and replace with new ones with usb?

@@Eurosully Exactly unscrew old one same two wires about 10 minute job. The only problem you might encounter is the screw holes not quite lining up but use one hole and slightly move unit make a new hole. Old hole will be out of sight.

@Eurosully Жыл бұрын
It’s the smallest (cheapest!) of the power banks. At the time, 12 months ago, it was circa £250. It’s 268wh, the smallest and is very handy. Seen it recently on. “Prime day” offer for less than £200, so quite a bargain. In hindsight we probably should have got a bigger one but we’d already spent a small fortune kitting up a new motorhome so getting low on cash!! 💰 😂 Thanks for watching Karen 👍 Andrew, Jane & Buddy 🐶

@@karenlund2703 it’s the 7 inch, and for the money it’s very good. Once we worked out all it’s features we really got into it. Way points, points of interest etc and of course your dimensions. TIP: when putting in your dimensions, do it as a large car rather than a truck/wagon (you’ll see when in settings). I started as a truck and changed dimensions but it started taking me on strange routes (designed to keep all goods vehicles, even light ones, out of towns) once changed to car then added dimensions it’s been great. Also, for width and height, add a little, if you are 2.3m wide it will take you down a 2.3 m wide road, same with height, a little too close for comfort! 😂👍
