As a pot noodle expert; you need to fill with boiling water and fold the foil lid back down whilst it brews.... apart from that, i can't fault your effort... great work on the content too :)
I need to be our van up to Yorkshire when we visit the mother in law up that way, …perfect excuse for some peace and quiet! That power bank looks incredible, I don’t think we’d ever have the space for a microwave unless it’s me on my own that it… come to think of it 🤔 sounds a great idea.
The company that converted my van install microwaves in stead of grill/ovens & so we that can use it anywhere I fitted an inverter plus my wife can use a hair dryer any where so hopefully no bad hair days but the Eco flow looks a good bit of kit!
I did not expect that power station to have an option for plugging an extra battery. That is a first. Thanks for also showing me where I can plug that extra battery.
Hey Colin, great video as always. You should definitely check out How Stean Gorge and Brimham Rocks on your next visit, lots of scrambley fun to be had. Been visiting this campsite since I was a kid and it's still one of my favourites 30 years later.
That eco flow is a beast and well worth the confession 🤣. Have you tried plugging the van hook up into it? Our microwave is hard wired into the van and only works on hookup, but that could be an off grid game changer. See you at camper jam - we’ll be the ones heading towards you with an extra long hook up cable 🤣
First site I stayed at when I got a tent about 10 years ago - I stayed whee the glamming pods are now and it was a brilliant trip. There can’t be many better locations for a site. I want to go back but as I’m towing a caravan now I don’t think I’ve got the nerve to tow down the valley
If you were building a van from scratch, one of these would make a lot of sense if you were going down the Lithium battery route. By the time you bought the battery, inverter chargers and cables you'd be in it for more than that. That's the reason the Maxxtraxx Crafter conversion has one of these sort of power banks in it instead. I'd definitely budget for one in my next van.
Nice review Colin. Us campers are a friendly lot that's why we enjoy it so much. Lovely area to explore right on your door step. Lucky you!. Take care mate
Love family run sites❤ I would seriously love one of those ecoflow’s. I use a resmed breathing machine at night and this could mean I could go wild camping
Thanks for sharing the video. I did like the review you gave on the River Pro. It does seem that it is quite light as you did not have any problems moving it around your lap.
Oh no, you added the soya sauce in your pot noodle before adding the water. I also get followed by the smoke when we have camp fires no matter where you site I guess thats just the rules. Great vids love the chats to camera :).
Boring comment alert! So the smoke in your face thing Colin.. assume there’s wind all round the fire from every direction. Wherever you sit, you’re a shield, so you’re always going to be a smoke magnet because you’re now the only direction the wind ain’t blowing from! 🔥 💨 Cracking video as always chap.
Looks a lovely campsite thanks for the review. Would love to try gorge walking ! Bit old I think 🤔 young at heart, looking forward to you all doing it. Take care
You are becoming the proud owner of the swiss army knife of the dub world - in fact with you lugging that amount of modern conveniences with you, you will need to sort that suspension out soon. In addition I think you need to give serious consideration as to whether you actually own a VW campervan, or a VW Glampervan? 🤔😂
Colin yet another great video, what’s confident young man who you interviewed, looks like another you tuber. Can i suggest your next review should be full central heating installation in your van then installing a full size swimming pool. Hahahaha take care and looking forwards to meeting you in Oct i of not before take care mate…❤️
Hehehe... awesome. You weren't far from me, I've stayed there a few times.. I have the 2400wh Poweroak likes Thomas Heaton which was £1100 so much cheaper than a £1 a watt 😉... Cool video mate
Great video Colin. I remember your post about should you accept it or not. I answered with, yeah go for it and fair play to you. At 2k I'd take it too 😂😂. Really good review of it. It's a serious bit of kit. Probably pay for itself eventually with the cheaper non EHU pitches, not to mention using it at home to save £££ on electricity.
Colin, just watching you put your window covers on the van windows. You’ve got them around the wrong way. The shiny reflective surface is meant to be against the glass to reflect the heat. Swap the suckers around and put them on the opposite windows. 👍
EY up buddy, 100% correct if you want to keep the heat out.but I wanted to keep the heat in (it was cold over night) the silver goes the other way around in that case dude!
ECO FLOW = sell a kidney ? Thank fook they gave it to you . They seem pretty good. Considering a delta mini or the delta but £1000 / £1299 towards the leccy bill it will have to be. Good B roll as ever 😁
I bought the RIVER after watching your earlier vlogs. 😏 I was another one of those who said 'go for it' when you said you'd been offered the Delta Max to review. But looking at this the Delta Max seems like a massive (in all senses) step up from the already very capable (and not small) River. I know it has multiple potential uses, but in terms of running a microwave, you can cook the meal you used the microwave for in just 1 minute longer using a pan on the hob! And of course 'cooking' Pot Noodles is even quicker... Just sayin! 😆
That's true, camping is totally what you make of it. For us, a microwave (off grid) opens up so many doors, it does my head in cleaning the rice pan 🤣🤣! It is a massive unit though, but it could be used as a single power source in the van (built in) rather than as an extra battery. The river which is brilliant will be used by us 99% of the time though unless off grid with a microwave 🤣🤣! We'll be using the delta more at the allotment
Beat this I was last Saturday with the wife and she went to bed so I thought I'd microwave a ready made dinner (after 8 Stella's ) and fell a sleep only to be woken up by what sounded like a atomic bomb had gone off , the point of this storey is I had to buy a new microwave as the door was hanging off 😂😂😂😂😂
Haha no worries bud, they are just garden chairs from ASDA bud we bought this set direct.asda.com/george/outdoor-garden/patio-sets/miami-charcoal-6-piece-garden-patio-set/BUN631,default,pd.html?cgid=D33M02G02C01&_gl=1*1rl4hef*_ga*YW1wLU1vSlk1UC1nd2VKYWp1WHR4R0ZEUEVSdUdFQVp6RE5mRkhyS1BXSlBRa2txelNRTzAtQzU0RHBmem0tVl8tSDU.
Hey buddy, I tried it with the microwave I have and it powers it but then the power drops then it stops. Something to do with power delivery but that's way above my technical pay grade 🤣🤣
I know Colin, but why? It makes no sense to me that you couldn't choose a pitch on that empty field. I would have said 'no thanks, I'll go over there where I can get some privacy'. Maybe it's just me! 😎
Laphroaig 10 yo sat quietly in the background, my fave 🥃 'NICE'
If you buy a solo stove firepit and I've no idea how they do it but it doesn't create any smoke! also get an airfryer for your van. Lifechanging.
That young lad is a credit to the campsite. Deserves a raise. Love seeing young boys being so interested into the wild, the wind and the grass 😊❤️
Did you introduce him by name or did I miss that bit?

Just found this channel really well made videos and very entertaining keep it up
After watching your reviews on the river pro max I bit the bullet today and bought one so roll on camperjam.
My Grandad was a woodsman and he used to call fire smoke, Grandad smoke, wherever Grandad went the smoke went 😊
Mint vid 💪💪🏁🏁
Never did expect this power station to charge quickly. I was shocked when you said it charges from 0-80% in less than an hour. That is impressive.
The River is just perfect for those short trips and if you need to add capacity. You can just get an extra battery and that is it.

Nice to see you drinking proper beer 🍺
I think the River Pro power generator is perfect for your camper van. The small size looks like it can fit anywhere inside your van.
Stunning place mate.....i,m still in recovery after the price of that eco flow....WOW
Another informative video and yet another site to add to the list of future visits. Thanks as always Colin, for sharing...

It made me laugh watching you load your microwave in the back one man and his gadgets 👍think your gonna need a bigger van or a trailer next🤣

Yet again another great video 🤙
I could watch your videos all day long lol im not a stocker i promise! Just love your attitude.
Haha I'll put you on my security watch list 😉🤣🤣

Yes the Ecoflow would give you that freedom top bud ;)

Where did you get the screen covers from mate?

I would not mind spending 699 quid for that River Pro for the convenience and portable power I can use out of it.
I bought the RIVER after watching your earlier vlogs. 😏

Thanks to videos like these, I would never know that such solar generators are out in the market especially the ones made by Ecoflow.

Omg lol
Bloody hell bud, glad you're ok.... Don't drink and cook 🤣🤣🤣
Loving the channel. Your seats, what make are they and were can you get them.
Hiya thanks so much.
They are from UK Custom Covers mate, I have a video on them on the channel ;)
Your folding chairs sorry I wrote seats.
Haha no worries bud, they are just garden chairs from ASDA bud we bought this set direct.asda.com/george/outdoor-garden/patio-sets/miami-charcoal-6-piece-garden-patio-set/BUN631,default,pd.html?cgid=D33M02G02C01&_gl=1*1rl4hef*_ga*YW1wLU1vSlk1UC1nd2VKYWp1WHR4R0ZEUEVSdUdFQVp6RE5mRkhyS1BXSlBRa2txelNRTzAtQzU0RHBmem0tVl8tSDU.
Col you didn’t say the price for non electric
Ah, I'm not sure bud, I'll find out as we are booked in again (with the family) soon ;)
@@Yorkshirepoptopadventures thanks mate 👍
Colin, would the ecoflow River also power a small microwave as it says it can power some devices up to 1800w?
Hey buddy, I tried it with the microwave I have and it powers it but then the power drops then it stops. Something to do with power delivery but that's way above my technical pay grade 🤣🤣
Evening,will Ur ecoflow river max run Ur microwave 4 a short time?
Hiya sadly not, it runs sort of but not we'll enough to power the microwave..
Hi where about are these campsite on the maps
I do a Google search for campsites near me and loads come up ;)
Can you not pick your own pitch?
Why be stuck so close to neighbouring camper when field is empty?
Hiya, no i was allocated that pitch on arrival ;)
I know Colin, but why?
It makes no sense to me that you couldn't choose a pitch on that empty field.
I would have said 'no thanks, I'll go over there where I can get some privacy'.
Maybe it's just me! 😎
Yep you're right, by the time I'd realised I was already set up, shattered from the previous week and couldn't be bothered moving 🤣🤣!
Who put the sauce in before the hot water you crazy fool?!
Living on the edge matey 🤣🤣
skinny jeans 🤔
Normal jeans, epic legs ;) 🤣🤣
