    I watched this episode again last night and enjoyed it as much as the first time, if not more. I introduced a friend to Me and Mon Ami recently and he commented that Mr. Boo doesn't say much.... so wrong!! Mr. Boo is like a silent film star...he says it all with the eyes, a tilt of the head and a slight movement of the lips. You'll have to watch Twiggy tho boys...she's starting to steal the show!

    @markwatson2967 2 месяца назад +4

    Maybe this is too old school, but a tent with flexible poles will likely be lighter and easier to put up, AND it wont need a multiplicity of heavy pumps or power, either. I estimate the extra weight from the pumps and fabric inflateable tubes outweigh any benefit, quite literally. Another option, and this is dearer, but could be way more fun, get another Ami. One each and split the load. Mr B can take the food, and race ahead to get all the erecting done. Anyways, enjoy your rain free week. At least getting the thing down will be easy.....

I have an inflatable tent from Decath from 5 years ago and they sold these similar pumps for the tent (I think your tent instructions have a picture of it). They did not give them away with each tent as people do upgrade and end up with 3-4 tents but can use one pump. It works super fast (but get the largest)

    Decathlon has an identical 2 bedroom tent to yours minus the fancy inflatable parts, just four old fashioned collapsing poles. Much cheaper as well.Around 250 euro i think. Bring yours back and tell them it doesnt inflate properly, they should take it back without any bother. Of course a tent that pitches without fuss might be less entertaining for the subscribers!

    from what I have personally experienced battery powered pumps never have enough puff to blow a house of straw down!! so it would have to be an electric pump for the tent and for air beds. even though it is extra size when it comes to electric pumps sometimes you just got to give in even though you try to cut back on lauggage size a good pump is a must have. maybe the type of thing power banks should look into expanding into as the market is there as most people who got the power banks have got them for camping, backup supply for an electric car, or for hiking, so handy to always have a pump. trouble is the heat the motor produces, but maybe a way that a power bank brand should look into developing.

    You'll need a different adapter for chargers with tethered type-2 cable.
    You need one with a socket like on a car. The pins in your adapter are too short to make contact.
    This i by design, to make it impossible to use type-2 cables as extensions for each other.

    • @tuk841ian
      @tuk841ian 2 месяца назад

      That's correct - it's designed so you can't "extend" tethered/extension leads, so Amis cannot charge from any station with a tethered cable outlet.

      @@tuk841ian I know there are adapters available to charge Type 2 vehicles from tethered Type 1 chargers, and I believe there are adapters that work the other way around as well.
      I haven't seen adapters that allow you to connect a tethered Type 2 charger to a Schuko socket, but I believe it should be fairly straightforward to create one.
      You would just need a circuit between the PP, CP, and PE pins to trick the charging station into believing a car is connected. Then, L1, N, and PE could be connected to a Schuko extension socket.
      I'm not familiar with the specific details of the protocol, but I don't see why it would be difficult to make.

    A hassle carrying all that stuff on Elton! A Citroen 2CV would be a better fit for your camping lifestyle: low cost, low maintenance, expanded carrying space, no range anxiety and it has one advantage over Elton: you can go off road with it and park it where you fancy! Which French families did for generations. Guys, you really don’t want spend two hours packing everything up and then worrying about whether it will remain secure on the roof! Relegate Elton to day trips around town.

    What a terrible day. Those tiny charges are useless. Rather than a heavy old foot charger which would be exhausting in the heat, why not an Astra A1 portable charger meant for car tyres? You get 20 minutes continuous use up to 160 psi. Very compact and not as heavy as a foot pump Obviously you could have a second battery (charged!!) as backup. Makes short work of inflating a flat tyre from scratch. The other alternative is a stirrup pump for bikes if ever. Lidl (ahem) sometimes sell them. Bike shops use them.

    Well there's truth in advertising and hope in marketing, and might they sell the inflatable tents just to sell all the bits of hope that leave the buyer hopeless? At 32:10 Mr. Boo's surprise gift looks suspiciously like what's provided to old blokes on their backside in hospital or the "pilot's friend" featured on the back pages of old pilot's magazines, but they had both 'his and her's' models, the lady's with a "no spill adapter... "Jack and Jill's" John I think they used to call them.
