They look nice, I am considering a set with red stripes for our red van. I don't suppose you could post a photo of the back of the front seats could you ? I am interested to see what the map pockets end up like after they are fitted.

Eventually succumbed to the temptation of a projector. @CaliforniaTime your enthusiasm won me over. Went for the Capsule II mainly for the USB 2 charging. After a quick test today I’m impressed.View attachment 97233

What are you going to project on to, HR?

No sure what HR is, using the sliding door blind for starters.

I bought this tent from Delcathon with two sleeping sections and a high middle section instead an awning. I prefer sleeping in a tent with the dog when on a camp ground and this way the camper can remain in lounge mode.

Testing out my new PowerOak 420 watt panel. Very pleased so far! I've got 170 watts of integrated solar, but often need a touch more to power all my gadgets, use electric hob, electric grill, charge the electric bikes and skateboards, etc. Stellar so far! Today was quite sunny and combined solar output between integrated and this external panel was 500-550 watts on average. I have separate Victron MPPT's for each setup:

Been using these for a while now instead of tent pegs for awning, toilet tent, guy ropes, ground sheet etc. Go in any almost any surface in about 3 seconds each, even the hard ground we've encountered these last few weeks. Best part is my 8 year old happily does this job, and puts them in and takes them out without help using a small 12v cordless screwdriver, which wouldn't be the case with pegs and hammer.

A Sheltie or a rough Collie

We’ve a Cali Sheltie as well.. she loves the bench

Bought some FlexiMags for the Thule awning/marquise legs. Comes in handy with uneven or sloping terrain, in a parking spot, or finally if I don't feel like staking things to the ground. Will need to test this with some wind though and today is sunny and calm. Quite pleased so far! Very high quality and good first impressions. Front side that touches the paint is high quality and don't expect any damage to paint but will keep a close eye. Uses primarily magnets with slight suction and a bolt where the stake would go through the leg fastened with a custom hand nut in black:

Our Project Camper Thermomats for the cab arrived today. Great piece of kit. Just got to convince the dog it’s not a new bed for him

Yeah, found those, neither have the option for UK shipping, so would have to contact them. Thanks.

Quick google search and looks like there’s similar or same through dodgy amazone

Worst case I'm happy to help out if need be. That's what we're all here for right?

That is very kind, I'm quite tempted, unless someone here knows a UK available equivalent? On another thread we've been thinking about going to Shetland where most of the campsites are actually tarmacked carparks so I've been considering solutions to pop out the awning occasionally, obviously when it's not too windy, but even then I'd be a bit nervous of a sudden gust of wind!

Looks like they work well?

Yup. Have two of those, one on motor, second on leisure. The app switches easily between them.
Shunt type meters are better because they monitor loads instead of voltage, but those are much more expensive and a palaver to install. Maybe later…

Bought a bonnet deflector from Vanstyle as getting a lot of stone chips on the bonnet recently.

Hi,
I have fitted one of these to the leisure batterie, a brilliant and easy to use cost effective monitor using the app. (Range works ok for me whilst I am in my home with camper nearby)
I held back on fitting to the main as not sure how the App would deal with two.
You say app works ok switching between the two?
