    The sweet spot

    Spot on that is. I haven't read a newspaper for a long time so hard to comment really. The beauty of the internet is you can take news and information from many sources and make an informed opinion. I have noticed a weird group on social media, youtube etc who are vehemently anti-EV, spraying...

    The sweet spot

    I did quote the year, the power and range is the same for all 64kwh / 282 miles. Negotiation may or may not bring the price down, maybe 5%, maybe nothing or somewhere in between The point being the numbers quoted by the Mail are untrue by some margin, you simply cannot buy at those prices, and...

    The sweet spot

    Asking prices obviously. Possibly deduct somewhere between zero and a bit from that price depending on negotiating skills. It's anyone's guess where the Mail got their numbers from. Their figures are way below BCA sold prices which are generally trade buying prices.

    The sweet spot

    The article from the Daily Mail is misleading at best. As we transition to EV consumers need accurate information, this is far from that. I skimmed through the article and came across the Kia Niro, a car I know well. I double checked and the figures are way, way off the mark. The Mail...

    Used EVs

    I would think less noise would suit shy wildlife? They'd be able to hear their surroundings much better, and of course they use eyesight / scent to warn themselves of any dangers. I doubt someone could creep up on a herd of deer in an EV. Just an idea, I might be wrong

    This demonstrates why campsites want to meter electricity

    This might be an unpopular opinion on here, but I'm very much against metered electricity on a campsite. This year we have 8 trips booked in the UK all on sites where the electricity is included in the pitch fee. We have avoided sites with meters, in fact have never stayed on a site with pitch...

    Smart watches - Why?

    I'm on my second one and love it I can pay for things with it, check notifications without getting my phone out, listen to Spotify or BBC Sounds etc. One of the biggest advantages for me is not needing to take my phone out with me ( esp in the summer when wearing shorts)... I can make / receive...

    EMOVE Motor Mover stopped work, but works perfectly again (apparently)

    Some 12v systems with solar are not designed to be run without a battery. Check with your owners handbook first.

    EMOVE Motor Mover stopped work, but works perfectly again (apparently)

    I think you're on the right track. Disregard the 14.2v as it's being charged by the solar panel. To get any idea of the health of the battery you need to disconnect it, leave for a few hours and then test the voltage My guess would be the battery is on the way out, esp as the dealer has given...

    Oh dear!!

    A couple of weeks ago coming back from mid-Wales up the A49 north of Leominster I turned right onto the A456 (near Ludlow) to be welcomed by a "road ahead closed" sign. Hoping the closure was after my turning off I continued (I had no choice) but after a couple of miles it happened "road...

    Remodelling a static?

    I've never owned a static but have spoken to a few owners over the years. The most important thing to scrutinize is the pitch agreement. Take your time reading thru and absorbing it, it could save you heartache in the future. At the end of the agreement (15 years?) the site owners can ask you to...

    An oldie still holding.

    Living your best life, good for you! Your history is not that dissimilar to mine, albeit it quite a bit longer. Packed the motorbikes in as I suffered "repetitive broken legs syndrome".

    Portable A/c for 16ft Bailey Pageant

    Yes the Cool my Camper is just a Eurom slightly rebadged/. When I looked the Eurom was quite a bit cheaper

    Portable A/c for 16ft Bailey Pageant

    For a 16ft caravan I would say the "Cool my Camper" is the best option (if they're available in Aus)
