What Have You Bought Today?

What type of heated blanket are you using there Chris? Is it a throw over your legs one or under the Sheet and sleep on top of?
It’s a heated throw, I have one for my van we use it under the duvet, really ace and super cheap to run.I think a silent night from Argos

What are you running the heated throw from? Do you only use it on mains hook up or do you run it from a portable power bank/12v? I'm interested to understand what 'super cheap to run' works out as if it is running off leisure battery or power bank. My leisure electrics only gives USB and 12v unless I'm on EHU, when I'm off grid I use my EcoFLow River 2 Pro. It would be helpful to understand whether having the blanket on throughout a cold night rinsed the battery. I don't have a diesel heater. Thanks :D
 
So, after taking a break from charging while we were out, the battery is charged (it took 3 hours from all but flat to fully charged). The Ecoflow has 59% left. Here is the before and after from the app.

The second bike arrived this afternoon. I've charged that via the 12v charger that was supplied in place of a second 240v charger. The battery came with some charge, it has drawn 29% charge out of the EcoFlow in 2 hours 40 minutes to fully charge the bike battery. I reckon that is going to be sustainable off grid!

This bikes look great! Seen the play one what’s the range?
They are these, Estarli e20.7's. We have tested it and we can get two folded into our SWB T6. When we're parked up one will sit on the drivers seat and the other in the back under the table. We'll still have room to sit at the table, eat, play games and chill out.
 
Some accessories for the cadac

A 50/50 plancha
A soft soak (as I can’t get the Feckers clean)
And a brush with a lid
(Dog will not be used on the cadac unless she does her business inside again)

Thinking about it, the think I need some gas too :rolleyes:

I have a renogy 100w lipo4 battery in my van we have run an electric blanket all night it hardly makes a dent as they draw uch power,I would think your Eco flow would easily manage it

Thanks, that's good to know. Might be an option. Cheap and readily available.
