“… you need to make sure the little bits that slide in here are still exposed…” Instantly covers them 😂🙈

Cheers for the shout out Paul! How bloody good are they hey!

Great investment. Makes morning and afternoon tea so much easier (and tasty). 👍

Excellent advice in regards to hard wiring. Recently had an electrical fire with a lithium battery in a boat (not mine) 150km offshore due to a cigarette plug on an oven. Not a pleasant experience.

The smaller travel buddy does have a timer aswell - it doesn't have the adjustable thermostat.... If you cant hardwire you can still use the supplied plug, just take the red cap off and use it in a merit socket 👍

Great bit of kit, only used mine couple times, must try some things

ribs pre marinated, bout 2hrs ish. Tv dinners, bread rolls, Chinese, sausage rolls, Pre made btw my wraps, Apple turn over, n cream, scones,

Nice one Paul, I'll stick to the coffee machine as my little luxury haha. I can see if I got one of these I'd just be smashing Pies all the time!!

Great video, cheers. Great units these. I have the small one in my truck. reheat a lot of home cooked meals I freeze in it. I use the large full size tray from Somerville Metalworks, it adds a little time to cooking/reheating time, but easier to clean up. Used foil to start with but just another thing to buy and carry around. If you do get the trays, add the trivet. Helps make pies and sausage rolls not soggy on the bottom. I've done frozen to beautifully browned in under 2 hours. Plug issue I found was more to do with movement of the plug, and poor contact. I now have mine permanently plugged into the sleeper plug in my truck, and doesn't even warm up, but when I used it in the ciggy plug on the dash, it got fairly warm after just 30 minutes, and thats with the small oven.

You may want to change that fuse the oven draws 10 amps, that 30 amp fuse will never blow if there a problem

Hey Paul iv had one of these travel buddies for about 5 years i bought it back in 2014 caravan and camping show used it all the time iv never had to hard wire mine so far always used the lighter socket in the rear of my 08 prado never had any issues ......the time I had the car ...sold prado back in 2015 but still got the oven lol it's about to get installed in the new prado ..after draws system is in ....might look at hard wiring it this time thanks for the advise See ya out on the tracks

Great video! Thank You. If you have time - what goes into your brekky wraps? I'm buying one for a tasty brekky at the boat ramp on early morning fishing trips. :)

Looking at one of these myself, cant come at the road chef copy, coz its Chinese lol. Cheers Steve

You do know that you can actually order the travel buddy with an Anderson plug instead of the ciggie plug. Don't you? I ordered mine with an Anderson and John actually uses genuine Anderson plugs.

Nice review mate, how do you go with the smell in the car when cooking and driving? Does it stick around or get stuck in the upholstery?

buy the road chef it’s better built, internal wiring is heat protected, comes standard with an insulated door and standard with an Anderson plug, still made with all parts from China as are travel buddies just not assembled in Victoria.

Mate you in WA? Just got the travel buddy today myself. You recommend the volt step up device?

Hi Paul which lake is that in your video ? looks like a good spot. good video cheers

I can’t say I’m overly impressed with mine...yes it’s good for a pie or to reheat something... but for cooking, it leaves a lot to be desired...especially if I compare it to the 900w air fryer I just bought...the air fryer will cook finger food from frozen solid to crunchy & brown in 15 mins...

Hi Paul, how many amps does the Travel Buddy draw as now i have to get one after viewing this

Ahhhh Shit my mouths watering lol

That fuse is way too big. The travel buddy pulls no more than 10amps max…

Hi Aussie,, Stop using too much ketchup 😂😂 I realize that 90% of you suffering from heartburn
