Another great video Wesley, you did a great job on the van..looking forward to the next video

[@frankmysza5003]

The beginning of the video is really awesome..the countryside where you are parked looks unreal, is that near where you live?

Great editing skills mate. Enjoyed the review

Sods law, they have run out on Amazon, so I contacted cello customer service, who told me they are not being manufactured any more and there are no current plans to. Bloody shame really, I just bought a camper but only way to charge leisure battery is mains and I live in a flat and the carpark I across the road, this would of made my life so much easier. Can't find one anywhere and cello said they don't know of any stock either, such a shame

[@Alex123321Alex123]

Such a shame, there's nothing else on the market like it

@@Alex123321Alex123 there's one one ebay second hand for 180 at the moment. But to be honest. You can get a 12v cello TV fir next to nothing. Get a 150w panel for 100 and odd quid and the mppt controller and you'd have solar and a TV and you'd be sorted. I have other videos on my setup. I also have a sterling b2b battery charger a 30a version and that also keeps the batts charged. If you have an older van with no smart alternator you can get a basic split charge relay for much cheaper.

@@wjlacey thanks for getting back to me, it was a handy comment, I have put in an order for the sterling b2b charger. I watched your sterling fitting video and found it a bit overwhelming, I don't think I could quantify how bad a DIY I am, it made my head hurt just watching you lol, Luckily and by coincidence, I recently joined a forum called motorhome fun . Com, and I booked a ticket to a meet up in Thetford forest (£12 for all weekend) and while confirming everything I asked the guy if he knew anyone that charges a reasonable rate to fit and he offered to do it for free, which is absolutely awesome and made me feel more at ease in putting my order in. It doesn't come with wires or any other fixings though, do you know what thickness of wire I would need to buy? Yes I did see the one on eBay, I was just a bit worried about why it was returned, and his other items for sale are quite random, if I knew it worked perfectly I would of bought it but was worried about any issues, had it been cheaper though I would of risked it but at that price with no returns I was just not sure, shame it was discontinued though as very unique item. I would like solar too when money permits, I really like the blue tooth mppt which conects to an app and tells you how much energy it has taken each day and how much it is currently supplying, not needed but very cool, so will definitely want to incorporate that when funds allow Cheers for your help and you've done a great job with your van, must be very satisfying to be able to create it and finish it to that standard.

I can't remember off of the top of my head but I bought mine as part of a 'kit'. The auto electrician shop sold it on its own and as a bundle which they basically cobbled together for you. I'm sure if you looked into it enough you would find the correct itens

Looks great just ordered one from Amazon, quick question. You said the fire stick works with it are you still using and does it still work ok? how was the chromecast? thanks for your time.

[@wjlacey]

The Firesticks grand. What i was doing, was using my phone as a hotspot, then the firestick worked from that. But i've since bought a huawei wifi thing that runs from its own sim card. (I since got a Neos camera which is linked to that also to guard my van) :) The Chromecast needed 2 phones to get it set up and use... basically you couldnt use the phone as a hotspot while at the same time streaming movies on the same device and casting it over.... its a bit strange to get your head around, and there is a way around it but i found the firestick much better. Also, it got hot too... no idea why.
