Something similar to this

altough I am more into tea my better half is very pleased with this simple way to brew.

And local gin from Winterthur to share

@sapto , why you keep gin in your toolbox

@sapto , why you keep gin in your toolbox

Actually got this one from a friend in exchange I gave her some cleats&click-pedals. And she is based in Winterthur. However you're right: the fridge is def the better place

What size kador strip did you use @Glyn ?
I have been put off doing this because my skills with a sewing machine are non existent but I'm sure that it shouldn't cost too much to pay someone to do it.

I bought the tarp and my wife a sewing machine but she won't use her new machine to sew plastic. So I may need to try folding the tarp over some cord and see if I can slip it in the channel

6mm single sided. £15 to sew together with 2 runs of stitching. Not sure if that's a good price but I was very happy with the result.

Some wood, drawer runners and multiflex clamps to make a pull out slide for my Weaco fridge. I will do a separate post of how I get on once the build gets underway. Got all the bits for about £50.

If you're not keen on sewing the Kador strip on, this thread might help you, someone used electrical cable.

Quechua Tarp Fresh, single sided Kador strip and seamstress to sew the tarp into the Kador strip (super neat job). Will be used next week in Germany as a sunscreen/rainscreen or just to extend the awning.

It was the cadac item yes. Been looking for a griddle to stick on my hot plate and also the gas burner. Not a cadac yet though. Ta

I have one of these and it is great. Easy making a coffee in bed first thing in the morning as no gas involved. It makes me smile every time I look at it

They do a collapsible draining board for £5 too. Works a treat overnight (especially with an awning)

 

[Russell&Margot]

Just bought from The Range a collapsible rectangular basket for £5.99. i.e. gives your wash-up bowl a pair of carrying handles

Also have bought sets of 3 packing organisers from B&M for £5.99 (small, medium and large which has 2 compartments). We have a set each to go in the wardrobe. They conveniently have mesh so that you can see the clothes to determine which one to open.

Finally visited Hobby Craft to purchase dress making netting and 3 metres of magnetic strip to attempt to make an insect screen for the sliding doorway. P.S. Dunhelm sell dress making organiser by the metre if you need to try to keep the Scottish midges out.

So almost ready for the great depart this weekend for 10 weeks in France/Italy/Austria/Germany!

I don’t know why but every camping trip we are set to embark seems to need additional purchases (makes them really cheap, not ).
This week I bought a new Weber grill, the Go Anywhere that replaces the Smokey Joe that I bought at first. This have the same area but takes up less space:
I don’t know why but I got some MSR bowls ( the MSR stuff we have got since before have not been good quality, the plate have deformed).
I got some Campz plates, we have used paper plates until know and I hate them.

We're just back from 5 weeks in Germany, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia and Italy. I've started writing up where we went and which sites we used. When I'm done I'll post it on the existing thread with info from others on Austria, Italy, etc.

The usual new owner's trip to Ikea. Most of it going back....
