      Hi there Eric, so sorry for the late reply, somehow we missed it....getting old lol. Absolutely, Felixstowe was brilliant and what a fantastic little town to vusit, so much to see and do. Glad you enjoyed the footage and yes, somebody definitely let the cat out of the bag lol....the cakes were great! That was the only problem with Felixstowe, between eating cake, fish n chips and ice cream, there are too many seaside confectionery shops, our diet was rubbish whilst we were there, but bloody tasty haha. Hope you're well our friend and all the very best.

    Hey guys Felixstowe is a a lovely place Aq and you had great weather. Well done Claire getting the park up 👌. The good weather seems to follow you guys maybe you need to come back to Skye for the summer so we are guaranteed, some good weather 😜😝🤞🏻. I got my first hip done last Thursday and was home in Skye on Friday. 👌now it’s excercise time a wee bit though we than I thought but booked in for next surgery in three months time 🥴👌. Will get there one day at a time. Good music as always take care and keep safe you guys ❤❤❤

Yep, we don't know how we do it, the sun just seems to follow us👍🌞😎. You certainly will get there one day....hopefully in 3 months and this can all be put behind you. Keep soldiering on, things will get much better soon....the beautiful Skye mountains are waiting for you👍💙❤️🏔️. Take care and sincere best wishes. Xx

    That was a great informative and entertaining video as usual guys 👍Looks like we'll be paying Felixstowe a visit for an night or two in the future, forgotten what it was like, thanks for pointing it out guys 🙂👍. Also, great idea Tony re the Jackery for starting the CDH. We suffered on our Cairngorms snow road trip in February, and had to resort to starting the engine to get the heater going a few times, as you say, it's the initial start up that's the biggest power draw once it's going it draws very little power and using a Jackery (or similar - ours is similar) for the initial start up is a great idea. Keep up the great video's guys. 👍🙂

    • @adventurevanfreddie
      @adventurevanfreddie  Рік тому +1

      Hi Colin, for some reason this comment has reappeared after we responded 🤔?? Bloody UA-cam lol. Yep, put Felixstowe back into your bucket list, we'll worth a visit👍. Yep, the heaters take some vavavoom to get them going and if the battery voltage takes a dive during start up, it will throw the error code. With the Jackery/Eco Flow being able to deliver 10 Amps continous charge, it made sense to fit a 13 amp male cigarette plug...no more problems. Hope all is well with you. Take care and all the best. 👍💙❤️🚐

If our power supply isn't up to it, ill invest in another leisure battery for the winter, as were off " snow chasing" again. Were going to try the snow roads (Cairngorms) again, but in January this time as we missed falling snow there by one day ladt February 🙄😁. Will be nice to be sble to fire up the CDH with the remote from our bed without me having to get up and start the engine😂😂.

    Great video again guys just a quick question iv spoke to you b4 about batterys I'm thinking of installing a 2000 w inverter what size breaker would you recomend between batterys and inverter thanks chris&sheila

    • @adventurevanfreddie
      @adventurevanfreddie  Рік тому +1

      Hi Chris, many thanks. OK, so the first thing to ask is what systems/appliances will you be using the inverter with? Next is, what is your leisure battery capacity?
      The equation is: 2000w / max 13v = 154 amps. Allow for any inverter output discrepancy, 180 amp fuse.
      Another consideration, the inverter should be of a Pure Sine wave output, otherwise some of your appliances will not work or you can get a 'strobe' like effect. Another consideration is a Portable power station (yep, more expensive) but it doesn't have to be a top of the range one. The reason why I say consider one is; your Leisure battery/s have a cycle life and an inverter will obviously subtract total battery life. Folks with deep pockets who have banks of lithium ion batteries (which have much greater life and deep cycle capacity) can run inverters all day long. These are just my thoughts, however, if I can help in any other way, give me a shout here or on Instagram buddy. All the best.
