    Just a thought. If you buy a TV with a built in WiFi receiver, you can use your phone as a WiFi HotSpot, and connect your TV to t'internet that way. Alternatively, if you have a ChromeCast, you can stream content from your phone to the TV via the ChromeCast dongle.
    Not sure how much they charge for the WiFi kit, but it may not be an entirely necessary purchase.

    Wow, great video Mac. Loved the Total Cool. I think we may invest in one of those, as when we stayed at the pop up site at Goodwood for the Goodwood Revival in September last year, the caravan was incredibly hot and the fridge was struggling to maintain its low temperature. We’ll recommend that friends of ours also watch your video as they are in the market for a new awning, and the Bradcot modular one looks really amazing. Hope Sarah and Dozer had a nice relax at home too. 👍🤗 Amanda and Paul.

    • @johnstewart363
      @johnstewart363 9 місяців тому +2

      Avoid the Total Cool. It works by evaporation, so the air coming out is high humidity and will saturate the air in the van and as soon as it is saturated it will no longer have any cooling effect.

    Acording to Wemax 400 ANSI lumens is only capable of 80"-100" in a dark room it would need to be about 1500 to get a 150"-200" viewing area in an ambient-lit room.
    The stretch seats are awesome, I have had about 4 of them for a couple of years (a different brand tho I think), not too heavy and real easy to use, perfect to take on a walk.
    The mozzy killers are good, I use one when I go overnight fishing, leave it outside the tent/van and they get attracted to the light rather than go inside.

    Nice review - we already have the stretch seats, and at the recent show I bought a Fire Safety Stick (ua-cam.com/video/wpNHOkorWjI/v-deo.htmlsi=swYm3phPkOSkHEIi) as it's very versatile, extremely light , has no maintenance needs and a 15 yr lifespan. The Bradcot awning is a clever idea - particularly the modular set up and the neat sliding ability for the pegs.

If you’re in the market for a motor home you were covered, but like us we are not interested in motor homes only caravans and we found the show 90% motor homes and 10% caravans. We have just bought a swift caravan, and they were not at the show.

    Just a warning on those £300 coolers... they are not Air Conditioners and they mostly serve to make the air in your van more moist and unbearable. Also known as swamp coolers, they are essentially a bucket of water, a wick and a fan and should cost no more than £40 at the very top end.... A well presented video, but poor choice of products to showcase...

    A lot of these products are very much overpriced.
    Why do people need a specific caravan/camper TV? £550?!
    You can convert a lot of TVs for under £20.
    My TV is a LG 32" smart TV that I paid £150 for brand new and I converted it to 12v DC at the cost of £12.
