You just saved a marriage. Pulled onto a site and ping one of the side blinds pinged exactly like in your video. It was a bit more challenging with a 1m wide blind but followed you step by step guide and it was back up and fixed within the hour and no spare bits left afterwards. Thank you so much for a great video.

How is the 500 compared to the Up Mark? I know Andy(CYR) really rates his Up GTi. Not that I'm ready to drop down to a lower powered small car just yet.
@mark-hazelsmotorhomeadventures26 күн бұрын
Hi Dave Thanks for the comment hope your well . The Abarth drives a lot nicer than the up GTI still stiff but doesn’t crash and bang like the up GTI did over bumps , the 500 is actually a bit bigger than the GTI exterior wise but a lot smaller inside . The Abarth is definitely faster than the up and a lot more fun to drive this ones 165 bhp compared to the up at 115 bhp Fuel wise around the same take your time 48/55 to gallon drive it like you stolen it about 25 to gallon. Where the abarth beats the up is the exhaust sound but it’s not noisy inside

@Bernabond if yours has already got the Waeco/Dometic camera the cable adapters are in the length of cable drop down section of the website 👍
@Ian-and-Antonias-EscapadesАй бұрын
I just repaired our rear camera but I'd really likem to do the same as you and replace it for a dual view camera. It was routing the cables that put me off. So, I'm assuming, watching your video, that the existing cable supports two cameras as long as youi buy the splitters for each end?
@mark-hazelsmotorhomeadventuresАй бұрын
Hi Ian thanks for the comment . Yes the cable does support 2 cameras But not at the same time you just had the splitter cables to each end . And use v1 for looking backwards and v2 to see the different images When reversing you can have v2 connected to auto change when reversing But I choose not to do that option . And to be honest I much prefer the mirror monitor to the radio screen as it wouldn’t always stay on . And the hole system twin cameras the mirror mounted screen and splitters are only 1/4 of the price for the original waeco camera
@Ian-and-Antonias-EscapadesАй бұрын

Great drone shots at the end. We used to walk from there to Lowestoft along the beach.
