Top 3 Modifications made to our caravan

[@julianfernandez7100]

From Spain, thank you very much for the three ideas. I try to understand the most I can because my english is not very good. I like a lot the light in the bathroom. Thanks again.

[@TheCaravanNut]

Thanks for taking the time to watch.

[@paulandsarahcaravanlife]

Hi Martin. The light was a great idea in the bathroom. Tha ks for sharing. Cheers Paul

[@TheCaravanNut]

Thanks for watching Paul, hope you are both well. cheers

[@ItchyFeetcaravanners]

The bathroom sensor light is a cracking idea. There's nothing noisier in the middle of the night than in our case, the clunk of a pull cord when someone needs a wee! Cheers for this one 👍

[@TheCaravanNut]

Hi Mart & Jo, The lights are great for stopping the fumbling looking for the switch and you can see where you’re peeing! Cheers

[@PoshcatsCamping]

Great reminder of some of your projects. We love how practical your solutions always are. 😃👍🏻 Trev n Sue

[@TheCaravanNut]

Thanks Trev & Sue, there the vlogs I most enjoy doing. Cheers

[@jasonbarker7152]

Great tip on the smarty SIM card deals Thanks as always Martin 👍

[@TheCaravanNut]

Yes we have found Smarty to be cheaper, I searched through a comparison site and it suggested Smarty and gave a better deal then Smarty direct. Cheers

[@webbsmotorhomeadventures1231]

Them lights are a great idea that’s strait on my list cheers

[@TheCaravanNut]

Yes they work a treat and much better than fumbling around. Thanks for watching

[@TheBeckwiths]

That aerial looks like a good idea.

[@TheCaravanNut]

Yes works well, you’ll be used to drilling holes through stuff! cheers

[@HitchUpAndTow]

Some great mods, need to have a look at those lights, thanks for sharing👍Mark & Coral

[@TheCaravanNut]

Hi Mark & Coral, the lights are a great addition. Thanks for watching

@@TheCaravanNut hi there could u tell me where you got the light from for the bathroom thanks

[@TheCaravanNut]

We got them from Amazon, there is a link in the description. Cheers

[@timmarshall9614]

@@TheCaravanNut thanks mate I did find the link in the end thanks again

[@colinrimmer789]

Cheers Martin like the WiFi 👍

[@TheCaravanNut]

Hi Colin, yes it's great for surfing the net and watching Netflix. Thanks for watching!

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thanks for that Martin, I'm going to have to give that Antenna a go.

[@TheCaravanNut]

It works really well Bob, however the network provider is the key to it working effectively. We check all sites for network coverage before we go and currently using 3 mobile through Smarty which is so far working well. Cheers

[@andyjenno]

Excellent video Martin 👍

[@TheCaravanNut]

Thanks for the feedback and watching 😊

[@alisterwest6987]

Just noticed the link 🤭thanks

[@Venomator.]

Remember watching these projects early on Martin, all good stuff!… 👍🏻 We use similar LED sensor lights in the bathroom, great idea as it is not too bright to wake other half, and we also put one in the wardrobe!… 😉 I’m afraid I chickened out and had the aerial for our router installed by a recognised installer to maintain the warranty - brave man drilling holes in your ‘van mate… 😳 👏🏻

[@TheCaravanNut]

Hi Rog, hope all is going well with the van. I need to look at putting the sensor lights in the wardrobe, I did get three of them so need to find the spare one! Yeah the antenna was a good purchase but was unsure about the hole, if it was a newer van I probably would have got someone to do it for me. Their problem if it leaked, but think the chances of ours leaking is minimal. Take care, Martin

[@TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel]

We’d love to have the net gear data a great idea & we wouldn’t be without our motion sensors during the night ideal off grid 👍

[@TheCaravanNut]

The Netgear is fantastic and works really well, great addition to our van. Cheers

[@ajorb1]

Re 2:40 “I fitted it my Self” ! Mmmmmmmm Noted Bro. Lol

[@TheCaravanNut]

Ha ha, yes couldn’t have done it without your help……and driveway Bro 😊

[@RollingwithTheRobsons]

Good video Martin. I have started to reverse our van more. Although bigger the twin axle is easier to reverse I fell. Would love a solar panel and 4G antenna but don't want to drill roof and void warranty.

[@TheCaravanNut]

Yes twin axles a slightly easier to reverse, just got to watch scrubbing the tyres. Don’t think it voids the warranty just the hole that you cut isn’t covered. Cheers

[@gooddisco]

Do you have a video about your internet set up? Would be interested to see how it’s all connected / set up! Keep up the good work!

[@TheCaravanNut]

There should be a link in the vlog which goes through the set up. Basically a Netgear Nighthawk 2 connected to the antenna than powered via a USB socket. Works well. Cheers

[@gooddisco]

@@TheCaravanNut I’ll have a look! Many thanks

[@alisterwest6987]

Some good ideas there we have shower lights bathroom is well lit only problem with ours when turning off the lights they all go off even the reading lights 🤔so the led strip light is a good one will be doing that also one either side beds where did you source them we are bemused as to why Reading lights are not on a separate circuit thanks for the information 👍

[@TheCaravanNut]

Makes sense to have reading lights on a separate circuit, obviously not designed by a caravaner! Thanks for watching

[@HermanHitstheRoad]

I like the lights idea. Are they too bright though, Martin. I think that could wake me up?

[@TheCaravanNut]

No not too bright, but if you’re going to the toilet you’re already awake! cheers

[@andrew-karens-adventures]

Some great things there Martin, will look at WiFi for new caravan when we eventually get it, might try to get a free motormover fitted by dealer due to not having a leisure vehicle for over 3 months now 👍

[@TheCaravanNut]

I would push the dealers for that, hope you get your van soon. Cheers

[@heyholetstow]

Any tips on getting sealant from an awning rail?

[@TheCaravanNut]

Elbow grease! We used soapy water, WD40, stanly knife blades. It’s a pain to get off.

[@paulcoan7892]

Good video Thank you Interested how you got Sky Go on your tv as I understand it. I thought you couldn’t cast Sky Go.

[@TheCaravanNut]

The TV has what I think is an old android operating system, I have downloaded the app to the TV and it worked. I only watch F1 on it if we are away but Netflix works well. It doesn't work on newer TV's, cheers

[@paulcoan7892]

@@TheCaravanNut thank you, hope your enjoying the nice weather 👍🏻

[@kenroutledge290]

Great vid, how do you get Sky go on your TV??

[@TheCaravanNut]

Loads of people have asked me the same question as I know it doesn’t work on newer TV’s. I think our TV has an old android operating system and I was able to download it to it, I only use it for F1 when we are away and seems to work fine. I won’t be upgrading the TV for a while! cheers

[@CraftyCampervanners]

We were really keen to do the antenna, were told that the 'ole would invalidate the water warranty - I still want one, will have to pay for someone else to make the hole... Still a top idea. Pete

[@TheCaravanNut]

Yes we’re not bothered about warranty, think it only affects the area of the hole and not the rest of the roof for warranty! cheers

[@CraftyCampervanners]

@@TheCaravanNut Next time the caravan goes to the dealers, I’ll get the hole added to the job list. 1/4 hour labour. Like you, our router lives in the radio compartment with its own USB. Does that nighthawk do a good job of WiFi offload ? Pete

[@TheCaravanNut]

The Nighthawk is great and works very well, we some times have several devices connected and all streaming with no problems.

[@CraftyCampervanners]

@@TheCaravanNut We have a distant cousin, the Aircard. I could not connect this to an existing WiFi and bridge that connection to other devices like I’d hoped it would, but on a nice 4G site, no issues. We also run an unlimited data sim - prevents data cap anxiety and no longer bother with the Ariel.

[@leearmsby7351]

Check out robs wise ways, he installed a light in the shower, l did the same and it works a treat.

[@TheCaravanNut]

Yeah I’ve seen Rob’s vlog, he’s very good at doing technical jobs. Cheers
