What Have You Bought Today?

[Bav]

My Anymaka portable hammock arrived today and i have got say it lives up to the heavy social media advertising. Sturdy bag, well engineered, collapsable hammock and above all super comfy. Ranks in my top 10 of "and what else can i throw money at" league. On the look out for a mosquito net now

Is easily-fall-outable?

What's its dual purpose? May I suggest filling with ice-cold water and bottled beer?

 

[Green Giant]

That's some choice! We've been considering a Remoska Tria, but it seems to be currently unavailable (which doesn't instill much confidence in case of warranty validity etc.)
The main aim is to find an alternative to gas (currently use the R907 bottle either in the van or with a Camping Gas 2 ring stove outside) because of the cost, and difficulty of knowing when it's going to run out. The Vango Sizzle double hob might be an option - presumably 800w each hob?? Would using both at the same time overload your average EHU?

Didn’t look at the double hob as the single will get us out of trouble if we have a err low Gas situation..
Also we can use the sizzle on EHU for boiling the kettle etc

Send a piccy when it is fitted. It may well make my mind up as whether to purchase 1.

Had an email yesterday the painted spoilers on the way... hopefully delivered today with no issues - as painted good with no marks.. i'll be fitting when the weather's good enough.. fingers crossed it'll be the weekend.

I don't think it can be done? I had some vdcs work done and it wasn't an option. This lead is just a bypass which sets it to off as standard, but then has a button sequence to make it work if needed

What is the button sequence? I got no paperwork with mine.

This arrived today an Ecoflow Delta 2. Thanks to Delmassive I got it for £600 from Costco.
They are reduced on ecoflow website from £900 to £800. So a great deal.
My suitcase solar panel is arriving on Thursday.
Happy days.

More details on my tinkering thread here, but summary is the VW sockets don't seem to support anything over 5V but all is not lost...

Roadtripper's Caravelle tinkering

Also a quick report of our roadtrip to Loch Tay. Basically 5 members of the group were disappointed that we didn't find extensive snow, 1 member (me) was rather glad as I'd want to have the van in a snowy carpark first. So we didn't explore quite as far as I would have done in the XC70 (with...

Look like awesome bits of kit & both Jan & Russ have been fantastic in getting these out to me. As well as Jan calling to double check the delivery went okay as she’d noticed it was signed for by someone other than myself (delivered to work address). Top service!

Looking forward to having them fitted

It fulfils the 'two uses' rule too, as you could use it to swat flies!

As a two use tip you can make pretty good toast in a frying pan.

Trick I learned off an Aga owner.

If you're going to use a frying pan, it would seem churlish not to put oil in said pan, no?
