I wanted to primarily power the vans electrical sockets via our 2KW inverter, but then wanted to use the same sockets on electric hookup when possible. So that meant finding a easy way, and an automatic way, to switch between 2 power sources to the vans internal mains wiring. I’ll show you what I used […]

We had initially thought that we would scoot over to La Rochelle and the Ile de Re but looking at the weather and any chance that we might get to Amsterdam we thought we would scoot through the middle of France, dip our toe in Luxembourg (it’s a sticker we don’t have on the van […]

We left what turned out to be the last beach in Spain we’ll be visiting this trip and set co-ordinates for France. We knew we’d have to have another stop somewhere as it was quite a way away still so we had a lovely drive in the sunshine. En route we found a lovely Aire […]
