What have you bought for your Cali today :-)

[pchmlk]

Already mentioned in another thread but bought this the other day and really rate it.

We normally take a coal bbq and a gas hob with us - whilst I prefer coal, the convenience (and space saving) of this is great.

I like the look of that and there’s 5% off online for the version with lots of attachments. Do you use them all as there is a slightly cheaper bundle without the flat plate. I would probably use that one for pancakes though.

Wife has bought a Brompton to take on our trips. It’s a beauty.

This is a cheaper option for Nespresso pods, though of course you also need a kettle to use it.

I have that one. To be honest I found it a bit fiddly and by the time you’ve made an espresso it’s warmish and not as hot as I’d like it. If adding hot milk that is no problem of course. I now use a stainless steel moka.

I really enjoy using my Brompton when travelling. I fixed a travel bag to the rails for storage but am now tinkering with another solution. Will post about it once it’s finished

I’d be interested to know what you come up with. Haven’t really thought about how we are going to store it in the van. Probably back shelf as it fits snuggly there and doesn’t move much.

We use an Oral B electric toothbrush at home but it needs a two pin & adapter in the van so I’ve bought an adapter from ++amazon+amazon+amazon+amazon+amazon+amazon++amazon+amazon+amazon+amazon+amazon+amazon++amazon+amazon+amazon+amazon+amazon+amazon++amazon+amazon+amazon+amazon+amazon+amazon++amazon+amazon+amazon+amazon+amazon+amazon++amazon+amazon+amazon+amazon+amazon+amazon that has a USB charger. Will tell you in ten years if I still have my teeth!!!

I use an Oral B io toothbrush. If you get a charging case you can use this adapter and charge from a power bank. Some of these adapters don’t seem to work very well but this one has been very reliable.

Very happy with my Outin Nano, great little gadget.

Ditched my BBQ as it was taking up too much room and bought this plancha grill. 1800W so my Bluetti should run it fine.

Let me know when you’re ready for the Thermomix Jimmy So you can make the burgers from scratch for your new grill!!

I’ve just received this excellent little fan from Costco, and it’s now keeping me cool at my desk. Bought in anticipation of our trip to Burgundy in early July.

https://www.costco.co.uk/Sports-Spas-Leisure/Camping/Camping-Equipment/Camelion-Rechargeable-Camping-Fan-With-LED-Light/p/1819576

£20 for Costco members (currently listed at £49 on +amazon+amazon+amazon+amazon+amazon+amazon).

It can either be powered by the battery pack, or direct by USB lead. The metal tripod is detachable. It also has a detachable magnetic light.

Anybody who has a dog watch the scraps of corn on the cob as dogs can't digest the ends and it gets stuck in their guts and eventually kills them (can happen many weeks later as it moves) or if you are lucky leads to a very expensive and complicated operation ... make sure you put them well out of harms way ... ask me how I know !

I’ve not got the extra bits so can’t help, sorry!

Looks nice. I’ve looked online, but sold out on the usual places, where did you purchase ?

With size and flexibility in mind just ordered from B &Q a Easylife portable rechargeable fan. £29.99 delivered. Folds up and should run for 10 hours on a usb charge. Gets to 102 cms off floor so high enough to work off the floor in a beach and still throw air over the bed. Will give a report when it arrives

 

[edocali]

Looking forward to trying this when it arrives. Will let you know if it's any good. Reviews say it is. Have been specifically looking for a way to brew coffee from Nespresso cups/pods while not on EHU. This has a battery and can be charged with USB-C. Nice for offgrid or during a drive.

The link is mangled?

We have 2 of these for home and the van, they’re brilliant. Powerful and relatively quiet. Got ours from +amazon+amazon+amazon+amazon+amazon+amazon though.

Possible the best fan you’ll ever have the pleasure !

Agree.

Agree.

Have you managed to fit one in a Cali? I’d buy one in a heart beat if I could fit in a place that would actually be useful for me - I nearly always sleep in the pop top. The only place I could think of siting one would be behind the bench seat on the side of the wardrobe?

I attached Velcro to the top of the bodywork in the pop top above the passengers head, then had it pointing towards the pop top, if I was sleeping up there, or downstairs with roof up. And the 12v is right there too.
And then the eye bit of Velcro to underside of fan.

Thanks, that’s very helpful.

In all honesty is it really that good. So expensive!

I bought one of these. Pretty powerful for the outlay.
