Upping my flagpole windsock game for Busfest this year.
Following the sad demise of my 5ft wingspan dragonfly, I've gone for a slightly less ostentatious 4ft 10 wingspan dragon.
When heading back from the retail area it will make a useful beacon (secondary use) to aim at to get back to the forum patch.

4 new tyres at a bargain price, let's see how they perform, don't drive the van hard they are replacing 'Triangle' budget tyres that have been on since new, 17k mile later the fronts were on 2mm the rears 4mm
We just got one of these but at the least minute I swapped from the gold to the freshtec cooling version, I hope I don’t live to regret that!
Being delivered 10-30 this morning getting really excited now.Saying goodbye to my 76 750 Bonneville.
Will post pics in show us your motorbikes when it arrives.
What size have you got? They havent got the size I'm after.ATS of all places! Doing a deal £36 off for 2 tyres or £72 for 4..the CC3’s have only just become available.. I’ll post a pic later Friday.
S+S seat covers, a shark hydrogo fan (to try to get some air to the kids and dog), and some Amazon knockoff helinox chairs. Getting ready for summer trips.
I tried all 3 varieties in their showroom.
I liked the idea of the cooling Freshtec, but it seemed the softest of the 3 foams.
The Gold was the firmest.
Time will tell if we have chosen wisely…
Maybe we could swap
Mrs moomin-j will have the final say.Maybe we could swap
Don’t upset the wife!!!
Happy wife, happy life & all that good stuff
Hi Cubcampgrumpy. Could I ask, Do the S+S seat covers have a big logo on the side covering the seat base?
A 1 season sleeping bag
A new bigger and better (hopefully) fly zapper ready for our drive down through France and into Spain. We are stopping near rivers, so def need something. Also ordered a Cadac BBQ. Never gave them too much thought in the past, yet having seen them in action a few weeks back camping in the lakes, I thought it was time.
AmenMrs moomin-j will have the final say.

Slightly risky, our first use will be a 3 week trip in Europe! May just be me for the last 2 weeks and 6 days
I believe that's called plausible deniability!!Amen

So the Victron IP22 arrived yesterday. I knew it wouldn't come with any cables so looked around and found these from 'Simply Split Charge'.
Around £20, really impressed with the quality and speed of delivery
Fitting tomorrow.
If any Victron users are reading, my plan is as follows, is this what others do.
Wiring these cables directly to the battery and permanently mounting the IP22 pack, but leaving the three pin accessible for,
Charging at home.
1. Plugging into an extension lead and then to outdoor garden electric socket to charge the battery when parked at home, by running extension lead into van
2. Or plugging IP22 plug into one of the vans plug sockets and plugging in the ehu cable which has an adapter for normal plug socket which can go into the garden outdoor plugs.
Charging on site, when on hook up, between sites
Same as number 2, but plug in over night so batteries charged up ready for moving sites the next day.
Only problem with my set up is when EHU is plugged in and PMS3H is switched on my Dometic coolmatic CB40 chest fridge turns on as it doesn't seem to have an off switch. I'm wondering if the temperature dial turned right down doubles as a switch.

'but plug in over night'....
Interesting approach, will it help?

Doesn't matter if it helps, it'll take your mind off your electrics!
