Love your content mate ! Great to see giving realistic options for majority people that go for the weekend getaway.

Good timing! I was looking for a way to convert the 12v cigarette light connector to USB for my 4 bar light kit. You solved my problem for me ;) I already have 2 of those Cygnett 20 000Mah packs as well. How long do you get running the 4 bar light kit off of one?

[@ianmc4474]

yes yes yes thank you so much.

GutReise USB 5V to DC 12V Converter Power Cable is "Currently Unavailable" on Amazon, but there are many other options available. I'm wondering if I can use a battery pack to charge a car battery.

Thank you Vaughan, for shedding a light on some great ideas! 😂 I might go and set up our Swan as per your demo. Its damn hot up here too 😅

[@WorkLivePlay]

No problem at all. It's all about helping people and coming up with solutions. Thankfully it's nice and cool here today but it has been hot the last few weeks, our poor lawn suffered due to the sand here unfortunately. I had it looking good as well finally 😕😆

Great video. Very handy

Thanks Roger, it was an idea I had to try and solve a future problem and thought, why not document it. The fact you can run lights off a little portable battery bank is great. It won't suit everyone but should certainly help a few out 👍
