    @CaravanningwiththeMrs 14 дней назад

    I do appreciate your honesty with your reviews! And I know you love your gadgets but... You say 'it's a solution to a problem' so what's the problem? We carry our empty aquarol in the lounge area where there's oodles of space and if we're going somewhere with no water, just put a bit in it and put it in the car (as we only have a teeny payload). I expect the reason you can't find it on the website is because no-one wants to buy it! In my opinion, Colapz seem to make a load of sexy looking stuff out of colourful plastic that no-one actually needs! Which just ends up as yet more landfill! Decent vlog, though! 😊

    • @CaravanEscapades101
      @CaravanEscapades101 13 дней назад

      Hi, thanks for your honest feedback! I appreciate your perspective on the Colapz water barrel. The 'solution to a problem' I mentioned refers to its compact size and collapsible nature, which we will find handy on our French trips. We like to stop a lot and use the caravan, so like to have it clutter free to make it easy, For us this works, I am not sure I will ever get rid of the Aqa Roll. We will have to see how they fair on our French trip in a few weeks. It seems like you have a well-organized system with your aquarol, utilizing your lounge area effectively and managing your payload considerations cleverly. Your insights about the product’s availability and consumer demand are valid points. It’s possible that market preferences and practical considerations like payload affect product popularity. I’m glad you enjoyed the vlog, and I appreciate your engagement with our content. Thanks for watching and happy camping James

    I did find this video very useful and to the point no faffing around although not keen on the bleach spray but just me. Your good to listen to, keep the good work up

      Thank you, I appreciate your feedback, Lol the Lash product I used didn't have a bleach content, I was one used for general cleaning and degreasing. Thanks again for watching, and happy camping.

    ASCI is great, especially off season. We had no idea there was a Fire TV app! (off to download that now)

    Thanks for the vlog... a good selection of apps.... like the cl site booker... we love the little hideaway cl sites. So we will be downloading a copy of that.

      Hi No, there should be no reason for it to mess with your warranty, You are only picking up a 12v Supply and clamping it to the back of the grill. If you are concerned check with your dealer first. Thanks for watching and happy camping

    Hi James, Absolutely love the Channel. Think I’ve watched your French trips over and over this year 😊 We are off to France in the van for first time in a few weeks like yourselves I wondered if you could help me out on reverse polarity that I keep hearing about when on site. Is it a must to take an adapter with you ?what do you use for the EHU ?and any suggestions as I am super confused. Thanks Ryan

      Hi Ryan, Thank you that's very kind of you to say. What Electrical Panel do you have on the Caravan. If its Sargent one then you have an indicator light on it, That when you connect to the post in France, It will illuminate if you have reverse polarity. If you don't have this panel you can get one of these www.amazon.co.uk/Socket-Tester-Polarity-Electrical-Indicator/dp/B0CYCFWCS3/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?crid=CDS8IPNDHNU5&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.HQftbop0649JCx2rVmAo-z6WitLofoDeAznYezh34a-ed5yK04Z76f4EbT_VMo1KNiUkQq6AhS0LUquhAkbbGfh6dEzZ0oK0cwwicQfu1Pi5oym_QOrfEiPxbHbikFUKfHrR5y8KJQRtXK6k-RV_1peCakDXd9KHydQ2QnO1gimsukjhyvF4KMJ4dsmO2ps9CqReTEdhsKQKwI85rzheJusYcws7MpclvXFFjsD7f8ltDc1Z8HDLtLTdhO6qGsNNeYi8dwvhdDqfYY8D8c2f6ThnAT5OHzkeCJCL3Ze9k0M.ejTc6H26O3L3Y-fGp75vVTcS02D4d1T_-cMUKLXMaio&dib_tag=se&keywords=Revers+Polarity&qid=1719954515&sprefix=revers+polarity%2Caps%2C136&sr=8-2-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1

      If you do find you have reverse Polarity, things will still work, but they remain live when switched off, as the Live is on the negative side. So its worth correcting things which is easy enough to do if you get one of these. www.amazon.co.uk/Eagle-Caravan-Camping-Reverse-Polarity-Orange/dp/B0CK2GL71R/ref=sr_1_5?crid=CDS8IPNDHNU5&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.HQftbop0649JCx2rVmAo-z6WitLofoDeAznYezh34a-ed5yK04Z76f4EbT_VMo1KNiUkQq6AhS0LUquhAkbbGfh6dEzZ0oK0cwwicQfu1Pi5oym_QOrfEiPxbHbikFUKfHrR5y8KJQRtXK6k-RV_1peCakDXd9KHydQ2QnO1gimsukjhyvF4KMJ4dsmO2ps9CqReTEdhsKQKwI85rzheJusYcws7MpclvXFFjsD7f8ltDc1Z8HDLtLTdhO6qGsNNeYi8dwvhdDqfYY8D8c2f6ThnAT5OHzkeCJCL3Ze9k0M.ejTc6H26O3L3Y-fGp75vVTcS02D4d1T_-cMUKLXMaio&dib_tag=se&keywords=Revers+Polarity&qid=1719954515&sprefix=revers+polarity%2Caps%2C136&sr=8-5

      Just put that between your EHU cable and the post and all will be good, the polarities (Wires are swapped over) in side so corrects it

      Also you may need one of these adaptors, if the site you are on has the normal domestic plugs. www.amazon.co.uk/Howsehold-Hook-Up-Pin-EU/dp/B0CVHCC2WT/ref=sr_1_15_sspa?crid=CDS8IPNDHNU5&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.HQftbop0649JCx2rVmAo-z6WitLofoDeAznYezh34a-ed5yK04Z76f4EbT_VMo1KNiUkQq6AhS0LUquhAkbbGfh6dEzZ0oK0cwwicQfu1Pi5oym_QOrfEiPxbHbikFUKfHrR5y8KJQRtXK6k-RV_1peCakDXd9KHydQ2QnO1gimsukjhyvF4KMJ4dsmO2ps9CqReTEdhsKQKwI85rzheJusYcws7MpclvXFFjsD7f8ltDc1Z8HDLtLTdhO6qGsNNeYi8dwvhdDqfYY8D8c2f6ThnAT5OHzkeCJCL3Ze9k0M.ejTc6H26O3L3Y-fGp75vVTcS02D4d1T_-cMUKLXMaio&dib_tag=se&keywords=Revers+Polarity&qid=1719954515&sprefix=revers+polarity%2Caps%2C136&sr=8-15-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9tdGY&psc=1

      If you do find you have reverse polarity with this plug, you just unplug and turn around, failing that jut put it in line with the adaptor and the EHU lead.

  • @Harris_The_Cocker
    @Harris_The_Cocker 21 день назад

    Just a suggestion on the thermocouple lead. You appear to have it dangling down towards the bottom vent where it’s going to be in the cooler air current. Should it not be located in the upper part of the cabinet so it can effectively pick up the temperature rise and activate the fans.

    • @CaravanEscapades101
      @CaravanEscapades101 18 дней назад

      Hello, you are correct, and what I didn't show but should have done is coiling the thermocouple up and placing up towards the top to make it more effective. I appreciate highlighting this, and hopefully, if anyone reads the comments, they will understand to position it high up. when I get the chance, I will do a pinned post to comment. I may even do a quick follow up vlog. thanks again James

    Hi James, very interesting. I confess my ignorance in saying I am not sure I would be able to splice a 12V feed from the van as I am not sure I could identify which cable to take the feed from. Is there a simple way to identify the correct cable? I could do the splice if I had the correct cable identifies. I was sited on the north Scottish coast at a CL three days ago, (Crofters's Snug CL. a beautiful site with the best views of the sea and the Orkney Isles , the temperature was about 21C but the sun was direct on my fridge vents so my fridge was warmish). Your video was timely to say the least. Do you think DIY would affect the vans warranty? Thanks Colin

    • @CaravanEscapades101
      @CaravanEscapades101 18 дней назад

      Hi to Identify the correct cable there are a couple of ways, if you can search online for a wiring diagram of your Caravan, you may even have one in the manual for the fridge or in the main user manual. Alternatively if you can use a Multi Meter you maybe able to get access to the back of a plug and check for 12v Dc. Or do you have something like an Aerial Booster near where you want to locate and you could pick up from that 12v Supply. I hope that was of help
