What Have You Bought Today?

It appears not ahah!
Must admit I’m a bit of a sucker for Amazon sometimes, same day delivery has saved me a few times!
Yeah I know, my first port of call for stuff now. Closely followed by eBay.

Bugger my vans 3 years old in June, no discount for me then.

Hi @Snoopy65,
Can I ask how you got on with this rain hood? I think it looks great!
Does it need to be attached to an awning rail or can it just stick onto the side of the van with or without an awning rail?
Thanks so much,
Susan :)
 
Just had a delivery of the Cinch Hub, now waiting for the weather to improve to try it in the garden.
Has anyone else got one and what’s your thoughts!
 
Alpicool TWW35 compressor fridge with freezer compartment. First impressions are it’s a nifty bit of kit. 35l capacity and can run off mains AC, 12v DC, solar panel or via the on-board lithium battery pack. The compressor is made by LG apparently, so should be reliable enough.

Not the cheapest out there, nor the most expensive, sits somewhere in the middle, but the on-board battery swung it for me as a bit of a unique feature.

Currently running a test to see how long it will run off the fully charged on-board battery with a pre chilled 10 pack of Doom Bar (challenge will be not to tuck into those tonight), but if it can do anything over 10 hours I’ll be happy as this will be ideal for off-grid day trip picnics/one night wild camps. Oh, and it has a USB charging slot on the touch screen control panel and a bottle opener on it’s arse.

Fits very nicely in the Ovano Switch kombi bed drawer too.

It’ll get plenty of use at home as my garage beer fridge as well. Felt smug at noon today when I was sat upstairs in my home office, in a Zoom meeting, thinking about my first Friday night ale, and I could turn the fridge in the garage on using the Bluetooth app on my phone without moving :whistle:

EDIT: on-board lithium battery powered the fridge for a smidge under 24 hours - happy with that!

I was about to order a service plan with the 25% offer only to find out it doesn’t apply to new vans, only those over 1 year old :rolleyes: I’ll hold off, hopefully they do a service plan offer for new vans at some point.

Black Friday - usually an offer on.
 
Not exclusively for the van but will be useful for it if what I'm trying doesn't work out...
