How long is the battery life please.
@CarrsCaravan Жыл бұрын
Hi Beth. I would say about 30 mins at most on constant use. It really depends on how you're using it. I would recommend having a second rechargeable battery on stand by. Since the video, there has been a newer version released, whether the new version will have a better battery life, I couldn't answer. As for using on patio slabs, you could do and they used to advertise that you could use this product to do that, but to be honest, I wouldn't. It's not a pressure washer and would be quite a long and laborious task with the Hydroshot. I would be looking for something bigger, mains powered and with a constant water supply. I hope that helps.

Hi Dan, considering moving to a pickup for caravaning, how do you rate the L200 compared to say the Navara ? I would be running it purely as a private car towing my caravan. Thanks T
@CarrsCaravan Жыл бұрын
Hi Tom. I’ve been very happy with the L200. It’s great value for money given the specs on the Barbarian X. The engine is a little on the small side compared to it’s counterparts, but i think this is to do with emissions. On that subject, it does meet the low emission targets set by London and other cities, so I haven’t had to pay anything when towing or driving in them. The only negative I have about the series 6 is satnav isn’t fitted and it’s not an option. You have to use your mobile device. I have had a couple of little niggles with the interior lights failing and the touch pad on the rear canopy failing. These were both fixed and replaced under warranty and I couldn’t fault my local dealer. However, it’s worth noting that Mitsubishi have now left the UK and whilst their are still dealers that will look after the servicing and warranty issues, it does concern me that potentially this could become an issue. Mitsubishi say they will still supply spares in to the UK for the foreseeable future as the L200 is still in production under the triton name. I think if your considering pickup, a canopy for the rear bed is worth considering. I find the extra height/space useful especially if taking a lot away with us and can’t carry in caravan. My previous pickup I just had a rear bed cover, but I did find it very restrictive. Overall it’s been a good tow vehicle and I’ve been happy with it during my ownership. I hope that helps. Also check out Caravan Chitchat as they have a Ford Ranger and vlog about it and it may give you some other ideas.

We also us the drill pegs as well and if the ground isn’t too hard, they are brilliant, easy and quick to use especially if you’re carrying a drill to wind up and down the caravan feet.

@CarrsCaravan3 жыл бұрын
Hi Vicki. The table is the Kampa Element Large. It doesn’t seem to be on their website any more but a quick search on the internet still shows many independent stockists still have them. The only thing I would say to remember is as the top doesn’t fold down/in half, you have to have somewhere to store it. Ours fits under our island bed, but it’s always worth having a measure as struts and supports can get in the way under the bed. We really like the adjustable legs on this table which helps to always make sure it’s level and at the perfect height to use and eat off of. Thanks for watching and any more questions, please feel free to ask. Dan.

If I remember correctly the CC2 is promoted as suitable for 6 people, so I would think the next range down would be fine for two. For me it was also about the height of the BBQ and being 6'4" I wanted to be comfortable leaning over it. Well worth going to have a look when you can as I also found all the different combinations overwhelming and so seeing them in person helped me to decide. It's worth searching online once you've decided as there was some good prices to be had and occasionally a sale offer or two popped up on certain combo's.

Hi Rob. We’ve enjoyed ownership of both our pick ups over the years but As mentioned to Ian it’s worth remembering the truck bed is never as long as you think. Height you can achieve with hard top as we have this time, but you don’t get the flexibility as you do with a SUV being able to drop seats. I would say that’s been the biggest comprise with the truck. Comfort and spec levels quite impressive for the money.

Hi Adam The official stats say 29.1 for automatic and I would say i'm getting around 25 mpg in 2WD. Haven't really driven any distance in 4WD to get a comparison, so can't give you any figures on that yet. Most of my driving over the last year has been pottering, so figures might be slightly better if I'd have had the chance to really get out and about. It might also be worth taking in to consideration Mitsubishi are leaving the UK. I'm not too worried as an owner, but you may want to factor that in to your buying process. Thanks for watching.

Unfortunately I don’t have any other experience on repairing the plumbing in leisure vehicles other than this fix we did to our caravan, so I’m unable to offer advice or help for your particular problem. However rule of thumb normally but not always is, righty tighty and lefty loosey.
We were there that week too. Did you go to the Rock show in the park? I got talking to some locals about the incinerator, which inspired me to write this song; kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZIN9qKWynM7ce7w.html
Hi, sorry for the long delay in reply. No, we didn’t get a chance to visit as we had other commitments during our stay. Thank you for watching 👍
Great vlog. Very informative. We've just bought our first caravan and didn't want the hassle of an awning. We've just had the canopy delivered and we're very pleased with it. Thanks for the marvellous info x
Hello Karen. I’m so very pleased you found our vlog on this canopy useful. We’re still using ours in the warmer drier months and still very pleased with it. Thank you for watching and taking the time to leave your feedback. Enjoy you time with your caravan and welcome to the touring community.
A lovely campsite, a lovely town. Keep it that way, say NO to the incinerator. kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZIN9qKWynM7ce7w.html
Sound quality is absolutely rubbish buddy. Invest in a microphone.
Agree Matthew. Filmed in the infancy of the channel. Learning all the time and still don't get it right even with buying microphones and new equipment. Good job it's not my career, no one would ever employ me!
We found this site last September, what a gem. We stayed on pitch 2 in the garden nice and private. Booked again for this year.
Hi Paul. We were in the Garden this time, pitch 4. Very tight squeeze with an 8ft Adria, but lovely and private as you say. Last time we were on the Meadow M7 which was a fantastic pitch as well, probably our preference, but again tight through the trees. The Potting Shed is a lovely addition and the entertainment line up is looking great. Enjoy your next visit and thanks for watching.
This is so helpful thank you!
Hi Beatriz, I'm so pleased you found this video useful. Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment.
Looks a nice site, need to put it on the list, thanks for sharing👍Mark & Coral
Hi Mark & Coral. It really is a nice site. We were in the Garden this time (tight with an 8ft wide to get in to) and there's also the Meadow and across the road there's more pitches in Fen Park. Different food truck in each Friday & Saturday night and the spirits from Fen Spirits are superb. Some lovely gins and vodkas and I can highly recommend the spiced rum. Staff are really friendly and welcoming too. Have a look at our other vlog from the site for a full tour. Thanks for watching.
Really helpful - very quick and clear. Thanks for putting it together!
Hi Stuart. Fantastic, really pleased to hear that our vlog helped and you found the pace and content good. Thanks for watching.
@@CarrsCaravan No worries. We have an Isonzo and I've just bought the BBQ ahead of going away this weekend. Thanks again.
@@Millzsr Have great weekend away.
Brilliant help, thank you 😊
Hi Alison. So pleased you found our vlog useful. Thank you for watching
The sticks have poor Fire knockdown power You should be introduced to the UL Listed Rusoh Eliminator which is the 1st complete redesign of the Fire Extinguisher in over 65 Years from Fire Technology Innovations: www.teamfti.com/shop
Hi thanks for the video and tip in connecting the washer and plug bit with screw in sink before connecting pipe,, our 195 elddis the sink is above fridge so you can’t work below sink. Making the connection first with all sink attachments, then offered sink to work top and managed enough room to plug waste pipe on leak seems to have gone all tips are good and believe me it was a pain having sink above fridge water electricity don’t mix well Thanks again
Hi Robert. I'm so pleased you found the vlog useful. It sounds as though I had it very easy compared to you. What a nightmare of a job with such restricted access and as you say water and electricity definitely doesn't bode well. Thank you for watching and for the great feedback.
get more power with the longer lance matey
Thank you for the suggestion. It wasn't something I'd considered as I had some concerns as it's not recommended to use to much pressure when washing a caravan. But I will check it out. Thank you for watching.
Looks like a great site! Like the sound of beer and sausage events! Will be looking at that for 2022!
It's up there as one of our favourite sites Rob. Especially as we like our food, we really enjoy the street food vendors they get in at the weekends. Thanks for watching.
Wow! Its on our list to visit now, fab site and great video x
Hi Vicki. Check out their Facebook page. They’ve been busy working during the closed period to build a new bar which looks fab. They’re also starting some comedy nights as well as live bands etc throughout this season along with the delicious food trucks returning each weekend. We’re heading back again in a few weeks time.
Lovely awning ! Can i ask what make your table is please , its just what we have been looking for x
Hi Vicki. The table is the Kampa Element Large. It doesn’t seem to be on their website any more but a quick search on the internet still shows many independent stockists still have them. The only thing I would say to remember is as the top doesn’t fold down/in half, you have to have somewhere to store it. Ours fits under our island bed, but it’s always worth having a measure as struts and supports can get in the way under the bed. We really like the adjustable legs on this table which helps to always make sure it’s level and at the perfect height to use and eat off of. Thanks for watching and any more questions, please feel free to ask. Dan.
Wow, such a superb clear video. Thank you so much
Hi Jonbscot. Thank you for the great feedback. I’m so pleased you found this vlog useful. Thanks for watching. 👍
Never seen this before. Great idea! Thank you!
It’s such a great idea. Love the compact lightweight design and the fact that it’s residue free. Perfect for a caravan or Motorhome. Lot’s of video’s on their website showing it in action. Thanks for watching.
Top man, thank you!
Hi Mike. Really pleased you found it useful. Thanks for watching.
Very informative, could you tell me, is that the smaller cadac? Thanks
Hi mick mousley. This was the largest at the time being the Carri Chef 2, however I believe this has now been replaced with the newer Carri Chef 50.
@@CarrsCaravan thanks for that, we are thinking of getting 1 but we think the small one will be ok for just 2 of us, I might go and look at them when we are allowed to go shopping.
If I remember correctly the CC2 is promoted as suitable for 6 people, so I would think the next range down would be fine for two. For me it was also about the height of the BBQ and being 6'4" I wanted to be comfortable leaning over it. Well worth going to have a look when you can as I also found all the different combinations overwhelming and so seeing them in person helped me to decide. It's worth searching online once you've decided as there was some good prices to be had and occasionally a sale offer or two popped up on certain combo's.
Nice bit of kit! I'm coming round to the idea of a truck being our next tow vehicle...
Hi Rob. We’ve enjoyed ownership of both our pick ups over the years but As mentioned to Ian it’s worth remembering the truck bed is never as long as you think. Height you can achieve with hard top as we have this time, but you don’t get the flexibility as you do with a SUV being able to drop seats. I would say that’s been the biggest comprise with the truck. Comfort and spec levels quite impressive for the money. Thanks for watching and any questions about pick up Owen ship don’t hesitate to ask.
Thanks Dan for this video... interesting as I have been looking at pickup trucks for my next car. Cheers... Ian
Hi Ian. This is our second pick up and we’ve been happy with it as an everyday vehicle as well as tow car. Well worth a consideration, but just a warning, the truck bed is never as long as you think. Height you can achieve with hard top, but you don’t get the flexibility as you do with a SUV being able to drop seats. I would say that’s been the biggest comprise with the truck. Comfort and spec levels quite impressive for the money. Thanks for watching.
This is an excellent addition Dan. Being short I have no chance of reaching into the back! 👍🚗 Karina
At 6’4” I couldn’t either. It’s a great bit of kit that makes the bed so practical for our needs. Thanks for watching.
Hey Dan thanks for your review, really good! What kind of MPG are you getting from this? Im coming from an NP300 and tempted by a BarbX but don't want to go down on fuel consumption hugely.
Hi Adam The official stats say 29.1 for automatic and I would say i'm getting around 25 mpg in 2WD. Haven't really driven any distance in 4WD to get a comparison, so can't give you any figures on that yet. Most of my driving over the last year has been pottering, so figures might be slightly better if I'd have had the chance to really get out and about. It might also be worth taking in to consideration Mitsubishi are leaving the UK. I'm not too worried as an owner, but you may want to factor that in to your buying process. Thanks for watching.
Do you find it leaks after further use?
Hi Jon. Not as yet (only when we did't close the drain tap properly) but then it hasn't been extensively used. We've been happy with it so far.
