Bare essentials - wine glasses. Perfect :)

Solar panels and led lighting have transformed off grid caravanning choices. I really feel that you deserve a larger audience Mark as your videos are informative and honest, I learn something new from each one.

Hi Mark fing all your videos of great use. Just one for you most 📺 are twelve volts even though they have a 3 pin plug. So I use a small inverter that you plug into the twelve vault plug socket just for the TV and surprisingly it uses very little from the battery. Try it one day. Thanks Doug.

Excellent enjoy

Good morning Mark, thank you for the video! Take care and stay safe 👍😎🇬🇧.

We love going off grid and the flexibility our can gives us for this :)

What a great informative video. I can’t wait to go off grid!

Very good as usual me and my Mrs do alot of off grid with our small 06 reg swift 530 its amazing how little power and gas u need to be comfortable I find rechargeable strip lights very handy too charge them up at home before setting off

Brilliant - good info

Very interesting video. I dont have a solar panal but do have a socket or fitting for one built into van. Bailey Pegasus G65 Genoa. Might think about having one fitted in the future. TFS.

That was interesting, thanks. We use non EHU sites and C&CC Temporary Holiday sites with no EHU quite often. Indeed later next month we shall be using an non EHU and a THS without EHU for a couple of weeks. It just takes a bit of confidence and one eye on your gas and one on your battery! Modern caravans (like your Bailey) will have all LDC lighting which takes little power. After dark we only have a couple of lights on anyway and the TV/DVD for about an hour a night and we manage off-grid for two or three weeks, or even more, easily. Our inbuilt solar panel is 80W. We use a 6 kg bottle of gas every 10 days or so. Remember in the summer when the weather is warm your fridge will use more gas. People think you need a sunny day to charge with the solar panel, but you just need daylight. Of course the sunnier it is the quicker the panel will charge your battery. I have a couple of questions. How many watts is the panel on your Bailey? You said that there was no grey waste disposal and there was no Wastemaster connected up? Were you just draining your grey waste out onto your pitch? We have always collected out grey waste into the Wastemaster and then emptied it into the hedge or side of the field. Thanks again. As a Brummie now living in the Scottish Highlands, I love listening to your commentaries.

That gas bottle tester looks good I just weigh mine to see how much there is left

We've toyed with using a Solar Panel to trickle feed the leisure battery during the coming Winter months. However, with low Winter sunlight levels, I think we're going to resort to periodically plugging the van into the mains using the inbuilt transformer/ charger 🤞

Hope to be doing this a lot more 👍

Great informative video. Be good to get an idea of how much difference the solar panel makes. Mine will have a 100W one fitted.

I am trying to find information on a UNI CHARGER A company in wales used to make it It was fantastic for charging your LESURE battery. Off grid on a CL Site

Great video ... I almost thought this was our actual van until I realised the charging socket over the bed was the opposite side 😅 I am guessing the microwave would not work ??

Hi Mark ,I have had 2 old caravan ,went gas runs out the Fridge on right side flashes a yellow light, O n the new one do you get a warming that your 'aout of gas, /Also what is the Hole under the toilet cassette , pull right out of caravan, Now look at caravan in where the cassette was there is a hole on floor, What is that for ?, Excellent Program ,Well done, Mark & Lovely wife, . from J B,

Great video but still can't get my head around having a fixed double bed and going to bed first before the kids as such, much prefer fixed bunk beds and settle them down first

Have you a vid on fitting / swapping the usb charging led lights in ?

We have a gas guage fitted. Seems to be quite accurate.

What wattage is the Solar Panel Mark?

What is the gadget you used to check the gas level in the 6kg bottle

I always wonder with off grid in winter, what uses more power and what uses more gas, alde wet central heating or blown air? If that was your winter style of caravaning, which is best?

Mark what size solar panel is it?

Not the best of units swift and buccaneers are well ahead
