100w folding suitcase solar, it had a decent discount on Prime Day,
Nothing major, a connector adapter to connect a resistor pack sort of thing. Best give Chris a call at @The Van Cave although he’s pretty far from you for fitting it would be worth the drive back in the dark.
Only if folk interested, went with elephas mini projector off Amazon, couldn’t spring for a capsule style projector from anker, too £££ for my intended use (keeping kids occupied). Anyway, this little unit seems fine, battery powered and can sit on back shelf of hillside birchover rather than me needing to drill holes for ‘ceiling’ mount.
I prob need a more stable van internet solution as screen mirroring off an iPhone kept dropping off.
But so far so good!
this is me imagining I’m not on the roadside, instead in a log cabin of course
and just mocked up. Little tripod will take place of a toilet roll for better stability!
Bought a Victron 500 shunt just got to find time to fit it.
Not directly for the van but after a 2 years we have managed to buy some dead land to the side of our house.
Today we are getting the 60's parking pads taken out for a new double block drive added for the van and family wagon. Also walling in before we can triple the size of our garden.
Anyone else done work to ensure the van takes pride of place?

I done my drive when I bought my property, mainly because the drive was too steep for my work van. Before the camper, my house was all I spent my money on. Full house renovation in 12 months.
My mate said he'll reverse into it for £50
Adding to the long list of bills - new set of glow plugs (once they could get them out) and pressure sensor, new rocker cover gasket, new injector seals and an engine clean to get rid of the oil that had leaked from the rocker cover. The adventures of the bright orange money pit continue - I am expecting the DMF to be next fun instalment.
A french 2-pin adaptor link for my EHU cable and a plug-in polarity checker. I keep thinking i have everything I need for France now, but more needs keep appearing...
I decided to test the polarity checker at home today, forgot it had a RCD check button on the front, inserted it into a socket and gave it a push with the palm of my hand, all the plugged in stuff in the house immediately cut out including the tabletop lamps so it got dark very quickly too. Still I know the RCD devices in the house are in full working order...

The main thing i almost forgot was silly things like a breathalyser, warning triangle and remember to remove any speed camera devices. France is strict haha
Hi,
We have camped in Holland 5,6 times and the standard EHU cable was fine. Looking to start to go to France next year , is the adapter required?
Thanks
I would say yes. The majority of sites in France have the three pin EHU but some older sites have the two pin.
Who wants a restful holiday!Another drive away awning Vango Versos with an extra annex, so can take all the grandkids now.
