Towing with our PHEV the break even point is around 45 pence @ kWh, occasionally I recharge up using 44 pence @ kWh Podpoints to keep the wife happy, on holiday solo it is cheaper to use petrol, towing very little difference between E10 petrol or Podpoint 44 pence kWh, Caravan Club £7.00 a day...

Starting with a full battery in late September we see around 36mpg towing 175 miles returning home with a depleted battery 29.84mpg measure fill to fill.

We tow with a PHEV, we have considered a full EV especially as range seems to be increasing, as I am on a mobility walker unhitching the caravan would be a no. We have considered changing the way we caravan, we like going to the New Forest, instead of towing in one hit we could break the journey...

We switch back from Octopus Tracker for gas 8th February when gas reached 6.657 p kWh, now paying 5.804 pence kWh, come end of April this month our gas usage should significant drop, fortunately a small potion of electric export subsidises our gas usage.

Its only the 12m fixed which attracts the £25 penalty

The gas no penalty, electric £25, we charge up the PHEV car and batteries at night for 8.5 pence @ kWh day rate is standard price, on the plus side export tariff 15 pence @kWh for the next 12 months.

Electric Octopus Go 12 months fixed until 10/04/2026 and gas Loyal 14 months Fixed 30/05/2026

Followed by final finish

I have seriously considered washing the caravan, did not realise you could get trench foot from washing the caravan, maybe I should leave it a while., no point in both of us having trench foot.

You are either jesting or completely mad, give it a miss.

A bit like battered mars bars :)

I take it you intend on deep frying it then :)

When we changed our 110 amp battery to a Fogstar 105 amp lithium battery I was surprised how much smaller the battery was, we used the packaging supplied with the Fogstar battery to safely secure the battery.

Personally I would go for a full inspection, however if you have found softness in the rear corners off the caravan I just would walk away, in a private sale you have zero right or comebacks.

I take it the retired couple will have no objection to a professional inspection, if not walk away.
