We wanted a rear-view camera, but didn't want to drill the body work of our motorhome. So, we found one from VTOPEK on Amazon that looked as though it would do the deed. David decided to try it out on his Mobility Scooter, just because he could, and it needs no drilling to play with it... Vtopek Wireless Reversing Camera Magnetic Solar Reverse Camera: amzn.to/3ACNUYx

    • @VandromedasTravels
      @VandromedasTravels 4 дня назад

      Because everything ties in to a single SSID, and if I'm out, Gill can still do everything she needs to do, without having to log the firestick, for instance, into a different phone (hers) because mine's with me - same applies to the Ecoflow units (which are all internet connected), satnavs, internet connected cameras for online backups that happen automatically - all sorts of stuff that isn't agile enough to swap networks easily. We use a LOT of data, and everything has to work simply - one network to handle it all, and no forgetting to log in to whichever phone happens to be there at the time. Every mobile router we have has the same SSID and passwords, such that whichever one is enabled at the time, all the devices that need to connect, just do - can't do that with the phones, because they're always on, and you can't necessarily set the SSIDs on them.

    4.52 you or the dog? I quite fancy one of these on the van, our reverse camera is great and you can view whilst driving but only manually and for 10 seconds at a time. The length of charge is my only concern I don’t want the faff of getting up and charging it.

    • @VandromedasTravels
      @VandromedasTravels 14 дней назад

      Charge is my concern, too. The reviews are telling me 6hours on a charge. So, switch on just before you set off, switch off on arrival, and hope solar completely recharges. Only time will tell. Easier for you get to, though - will recharge from you powerbank in short order - or flat USB cable out the back door.

    We are here at the moment. This site is really suited to very large motorhomes some of them are bigger than a coach. I have booked a small safari tent, an emperor lodge and a gladiator lodge so my son and daughter's families have their own space. 1 week in August has cost me £3,500. Tonights pizza bill £180. I love the roomy pitches with hedges so the grandchildren have space to play without being a nuisance to neighbours but i prefer my usual site in Dorset with a large play area and a swimming pool. My next family holiday in 2025 is a national trust house for a third of the price. The best swimming beach at West Wittering is 10 miles away where there is only a small section that allows dogs and parjing has a daily charge of £15. You need deep pockets if you want to stay here.

    • @VandromedasTravels
      @VandromedasTravels Месяц назад

      was just a puck antenna that was already on the van... speeds will vary depending on where you are and what the signal is like. When it's 150MB good, the exterior aerial doesn't make that much difference, we've found.
