One of THQs new BBQ/firepits
It is basically bits of flat metal plates that slot together.
I’ve got to say I’m super impressed with it.
It stores flat in a bag so takes up literally no room to store. Takes seconds to assemble. Just put one of those paper bags with the charcoal in it. I got 4 bags for £10.50. Light it. Then by the time you have prepared your food it’s good to go. Cooks well. Then once you’ve eaten remove the grill and put firewood on it for a nice fire.
It was really easy to clean. I just emptied the ash into a bag to bin it then used a bbq brush/scraper.
I usually take a small gas bbq away but this is miles easier to store and no gas bottle.
It’s not particularly cheap for what is essentially bits of sheet metal. I was £165 including the bag and delivery. But I suppose you are paying for idea as much as anything. It is super sturdy and very well designed. Overall I think it’s fantastic and would recommend it.

Interested to find out after a few uses if it warps at all?

It’s actually very sturdy and quite heavy.
I did wonder myself but had a huge fire in it and a couple bbqs and it’s all good

Just spotted that the older 100w Renogy folding panels were at a low price on Amazon (£87) and also I was offered a voucher bring them down to £65.



Not sure if that voucher would be offered to everyone but at £65 delivered I figured it was worth a shot to play with as both my power packs and the fridge will take a solar input.

Well they arrived, sadly as the sun disappeared so currently not charging just giving a low voltage alarm on the Bluetti.

Far more solid than expected though and seriously weighty - the included cover is essential.

Ah, some sun, happy with that result given they are rated at 100w...

 

[TallPaul_S]

Nice, 101w out of a 100w panel! And it's not even that cold!

A part worn tyre fitted for 40 quid, got a puncture on the rear, they tried to fix it with a plug but it wouldn’t hold, it was right on the corner of the tyre - the part worn is to see me through the next couple of weeks while I research 17” 235/55s - need all 4 replacing as the wear guide is showing on all of them

Two new tyres for the front and wheel alignment booked for installation on Thursday.

I bought a Debus canopy, delivered over the weekend, so now I need to fit the awning rails

A bit of a bargain on a slight second, but new canopy, listed in Debus eBay shop. Debus Campervan/Caravan Sun Canopy for VW Transporter Transit Vito Bongo Vans | eBay

That is such a sweet deal on the canopy. I grabbed one within five minutes of seeing the thread about it the other day. Am too stingy to buy an awning rail though atm as am broke

Got my gladen speaker upgrade just need to find the time to fit it

Yeh comes with the glue wayne, does the fiamma need to be removed?, looks like it from pictures, but I can’t quite tell!

I let the guy who fitted my Fiamma do it, I cheated. But if you have a poptop I can't see why it couldn't be done with the lid up and canvas removed. Without a poptop nothing to stop you carefully lying on a mattress on the roof to install it without removing the fiamma.

Little click and collect from Cleanyourcar.co.uk so I can get the van and engine bay nice and clean. I’m always impressed with the G-Techniq stuff.
