Thank you mate, I hope you found it useful! 👍

Thank you 🙏 Aye it's held up well, no chipping or issues with the bond. It does scratch with little faded matt scratches but if you stay out of bushes it's fine. I had some woman send me into the verge so he's got a few marks 😅

Thank you mate, been busy with work but I have several videos on the drawing board so hopefully I'll have something out soon 😁

Amazing, so glad you've found it useful mate! Always here if you have any questions 🙏

Hmm, hard to tell going off that information mate. I presume you mean the fuse between the battery and fridge is what has blown? Presuming you're fridge is 12v, then an 80amp use blowing means the fridge has tried to pull more than 960 watts. I don't have a fridge but this seems extremely high to me. A household fridge freezer uses around 150 watts. Do you know the wattage of the fridge? My assumption would be an issue with the fridge. If the wires were too small they would have likely burnt out before the fuse did. Worth checking all connections look secure, no burn marks or frayed wires, then trying again with another fuse. But stay with it and make sure you have fire prevention at hand as well as a means of disconnecting the power quickly. Feel free to send me photos on Instagram.

Thank you mate 😁

It's matt Nato green mate.

@@TheWoodlandNomad cheers just ordered some for my suzuki jimny 😁

I'm sure it'll turn out great 😁 happy painting 👍

No doubt our paths will cross. It's funny how us van folks stumble across each other in the middle of nowhere 😝

I did mate. It's super easy. Your V5 logbook has a section in it to submit vehicle changes. Simply write in that the colour is different in the specific section of the logbook and post it to them. You don't need to supply evidence or anything. Tell your insurance company too.

It's true very true 💩🌲

Welcome aboard 😁 That's very kind of you to say! I really appreciate the comment and I'm delighted to hear you're enjoying my content ☺

I've read that it isn't? Unless it combusts of course, smoke is always harmful. But the vapour is said to be safe, at least in the studies I've read.

I'll certainly look into this. I have so much appreciation for Chaga! And plenty in my stores 😁

I'll have to see if they sell online, bit of a drive to Sussex from Scotland haha. I do often add them to smoothies, definitely a great natural source of sugar ☺

Haha, it's all worth it for the feeling when you get back out 😁

I suppose that would depend on what is causing the pain. Pain remedies in the natural world are relatively limited (as far as I know) but treating the cause may help? I know lion's mane mushroom is good for the nervous system. Vitamin D too, and take vitamin K2 with it for better absorption! Antioxidant rich foods too like berries, fish, beans, nuts etc. Chaga mushroom has the most antioxidants of any mushroom, take it as a tea. Incredibly powerful stuff 🙏 I ain't a doctor, but that's what I would do 😝

Are you on about not having any battery besides the vans starter battery? I've not heard of anyone doing this but the split charge relay is simply a switch that engaged after a certain voltage is reached, so it would certainly supply power to the inverter only when the van is running. I presume you don't want to use the switch on the inverter/install a breaker because you're worried you'll leave it on by mistake? I don't see why this wouldn't work tbh but there could be something I haven't thought of, like how steady the voltage from the alternator might be. You might find the invertor keeps turning on and off because of voltage dips. Plus it'd depend on what amps the battery pack was needing. How big is the battery pack?

@@TheWoodlandNomad Sorry I meant straight off the vehicles normal battery, to the split charger to the inverter. I have a power station that I want to automatically charge by AC when the car is running. I don't have a leisure battery just a power station that I will eventually link to solar as well

@grapewater123 and that power station can't be charged by 12v I take it?

It can but you have purchase an additional power supply which is the same price as a decent inverter so I figure its better to have the inverter which can be of a greater use.

@billjohnson3284 makes sense! I wouldn't take my word for it as it's not something I've done but I can't see any problem with that idea, so long as its all fused as is should be. Van starts > alternator charges van battery > van battery voltage then closes the split charge > current runs to the invertor > invertor charges power station. Van stops and it opens the split charge and prevents it draining your van battery.

Glad you enjoyed it 😁 You can collect all year round. Some of it can be softer and sticker on a hot summers day but it makes no difference to the quality. Also, the proper resin will be firm in all weathers ☺

Thank you so much, and welcome aboard 🙏

Haha I would like to think landowners wouldn't mind/know if you did that 😝 someone else might stumble across your goodies though 🍄

Tell me about it, would last a lifetime.

Aww I hope you enjoy it and it brings peace to your space 🙏

It looks ao sketchy 😂 Makes sure the curtains are closed haha!

Possibly, but after wiring my campervan build it's habit to always disconnect. Still yet to get an electric shock and I think I'll keep it that way 😅

@@TheWoodlandNomad its 12V, u cant get an electric shock ;)

12v isn't the issue, the amperage that a van battery can put out is what will suck. In this case, but yes, because the wires are thin and my skin is dry so the risk is super small if not zero - again basically just habit (plus I have three leisure batteries in the back of the van so I'll always isolate whatever I'm working on).

Aww thank you Noeleen 🙏 Glad you enjoyed it! Hahaa that part wasn't my favourite 😅

Haha, mate honestly I've thought about it time and time again. But as soon as they spore all your woodwork would be at risk of growing mushrooms where you don't want them 😅 you're welcome, thanks for watching as always 😁

I was very impressed too, such an improvement on what it was like before 😁

Aww that's so beautiful. I hope she has mushrooms popping up for years, the gift that keeps on giving 😁 🍄

I'm glad you agree. Safe to say CZcams doesn't like it, if you're not consistent there's a pretty heavy performance punishment - but I know my videos will find those who need them regardless of algorithms ☺ There's definitely too many empty videos out there because of people trying to meet the video a week quota unfortunately. Aww that's so very sweet, I love that my videos are worthy of your time and are appreciated as much as you say 🙏 thank you for your wonderful comment ☺

That's very kind of you to say 😁 Aww you have? That's amazing, so glad you resonate with the videos I've created, that means an awful lot 🙏 Look forward to creating more 😁🍄📹

It's absolutely fantastic for it's price isn't it? The blade never seems to go dull 👌

Thanks mate ☺ I've only ever rented so never felt like I owned anything, but to have a stationary place to call home, yeah I miss it sometimes. Mainly the idea of having something to fall back on, a safe place if I brakedown or something. I guess I miss that but it's one of the few sacrifices for so many positives. There's a lot of time to be alone on the road and at times it can certainly feel lonely (if you haven't got a partner) but thanks to social media and the van community there's always someone to talk to ☺ Definitely happier now, so much more time and freedom, plus less stress 😁

Thanks for that bit of knowledge 👍

I'm sure it was, still comfy though 😅

Glad you did mate, sorry about the wait 😅 will keep you updated on my first booklet 🍄

Thank you G, glad you enjoyed it ☺

Thank you, it's good to be back, look forward to bringing more 😁

And to you, I hope you get lots of sunshine and make many a fantastic memory ☀ 🙏

Thank you so much mate, very kind of you 😄 Excited for you, I hope everything is lining up nicely and the transition goes smoothly. Always here if you have more questions 😊

@@TheWoodlandNomad Thank you my man! Much appreciated 🙏

Thank you so much! Aw you're too kind, I appreciate the lovely words. Of course, hope to cross paths one day 😁

It's good to be back 😀 Aw that's very kind of you to say, I'm glad you enjoy them! Ha, I think I should have been clearer, I could have made a baby in the nine months it took me to make this video, I did not make a baby though. New girlfriend, yes, but no babies haha!

@@TheWoodlandNomad haha doh, probably I should listen better, well good a new girlfriend anyway... you seem a good guy!

@elfmix haha it's ok, she's does have a dog so we have a furry baby 😂 🐶

Thank you mate, very kind of you to say! Great advise, thank you. I did get new gear oil in recently but next time I will try the automatic oil as you've suggested! Second gear works fine, i just crunches if I change into it with any revs on and if the vans moving more than ~4mph. Something to do with the bearings apparently :( Will certainly try it before paying £1200+ for the box rebuild! Thanks mate, appreciate the support 😁

Aww thank you Noeleen, appreciate the watch and comment. Hope I didn't ramble on too much 😛

Adrian Flux, they're really good for those converting a van as it doesn't need to be registered as a camper with the DVLA. I don't know the name of my burner, was produced by Bow Mill Stoves though, they have a Facebook page. Thank you! 😊

@@TheWoodlandNomad thanks 😊

Sorry for the massive delay! Hahaa, no I've not had a baby, just said that I could have had a baby in the nine months it took me to make this video 😂 Thank you! Glad it was interesting enough, can be hard talking to the camera for ages and keeping it captivating 😅

Ahhh I completely misunderstood that! Nevermind glad you're back!🤣
