….sporting a “Men’s woody”…..They look good for taking the dog out first thing in the morning
Possible camping usefulness I've pondered if these tiny rechargeable fishing lure LEDs reviewed by BigClive might be useful as awning line markers...
It’s going to take more than subconscious mind control for me to buy any.
Bargain
That’s what I said, then one day I ordered themIt’s going to take more than subconscious mind control for me to buy any.
Tbh I’m sold on them now, I wear them in the house, I wear them in the van and next weekend I’ll be wearing them round the campsite. Even thinking that maybe I should buy another pair so I can keep a pair clean for wearing in the house
Have a word with Van Weight Engineering Ltd Mick who have up-plated a few of us on here, my T28 is now officially a T31, an extra 300 kg of wine or beer! Purely a paperwork exercise, £276 when I did it a year ago. Husband and wife team.
Here’s an idea to save space.
I see a side hustle opportunity here - I'd pay for one of these and a subscription to top it up. Love it
Got this roof storage thing, only temporary installed at the moment to see if it’s any good. It hangs off the bed platform and has a big netted pocket. Currently only supporting the Drying towels but has come in really useful to keep stuff out of the way.
Thanks mate, I was just on the verge of going to look for my v5!
Camping Shower - 2025 reboot
we had a similar setup ages ago.
this version is shamelessly copied from @Drive Wayne Busfest setup last year.
though i believe he has now upgraded to a proper heated Joolca jobbie.
anyway, this works great when you need a quick shower and cant be bothered to cue at the Busfest Shower block.
or you are wild camping in the middle of who knows where.
++++++
get one of these . . . pop up utility tents.
add in a handy folding bucket . . . (for the clean water, cold + a kettle of hot)
get one of these USB battery powered shower pump things.
and add one of these to stand in a collect the waste water.
parts list:
popup tent- https://amzn.to/3STGEgX
folding bucket - https://amzn.to/43M4kdm
USB battery shower - https://amzn.to/4kNGaFA
Shower tub - Amazon.co.uk

We will use exactly the same shower system as yours, we have the Joolca double ensuite (It survived after the 'Bala Gale'), but not the proper Joolca hot water system, too spensive for rare usage. We have a pink/white shower tray in ours that looks really special!
Same bucket, two thirds full of cold then a kettleful of boiling takes it to around 38 degrees, perfect and surprisingly good!
I thought the Mrs was wasting money buying that, I was wrong!
Here's a pic from last years Busfest in the single Cayman Can toilet tent, nice now with the double ensuite to have a room for wifeys Bivvy Loo and the shower t'other side.
My Mrs is tough, she often just uses cold water pored over herself with a jug no matter what the weather even in the winter, at best just tepid. Evidently that is what she had at school in the good old days! I shudder at the thought particularly that stage when washing off all the soap particularly from ones hair. I on the other hand am on the nesh side and prefer my shower or bathing done with very warm water.
