To keep camp chairs dry and clean when strapped to the camper a review of the ARB Stormproof Bag. Also bought a Navigator Kitchen Buddy as a kitchen utensil tidy.

What grabbed my attention was you holding the battery as if it was an empty box.

:frightened:

Added the Renogy Bluetooth Monitor to the Lithium battery. Now I can at least see how charged the battery is.

I've purchased a cheap Kings 1500w inverter along with a very cheap induction hotplate from of all places Ikea. Will it work with my 100amp lithium battery and how much power will it use when cooking.

Finally decided on an awning, fitted it up and can't believe the change in the camper with it open.
