Caravan fridge door lock ... that wont fail
A few peeps have experienced caravan fridge door catch failures while traveling on some of the more challenging tracks resulting in the contents spilling out and the fridge being damaged. Looking at the door catch it's not surprising. I've got a simple foolproof solution you can rely on

Coleman 533. Finally it's large frying pan compatible. Cook safely with confidence.
zhlédnutí 1,8KPřed rokem
The Coleman 533 dual-fuel stove is a great product and it's been our go-to camping stove for years. The 533 has two major cons, one is its challenging simmer control and the other is its inability to play well with frying pans or larger pots. We had a few workarounds but thanks to Amazon we've found a quality and compact trivet solution that gives the 533 a lightweight stable frying pan size base.

      Marcus wow what can I say. It works by magic and all the other comments seem to get that. This is CZcams, not the Supreme Court, so proof is only optional. The generator consumes 8ml of fuel per minute (eco throttle), so how long do you suggest i film that bottle slowing emptying at 8ml per minute in order to satisfy your curiosity. Id recommend you dont use this method, the magic works only when you truly believe. You should subscribe to Mythbusters, youll be happier there. 👌

  • @ouroborosirvington
    @ouroborosirvington Před 6 měsíci

    Here's one for you. I've just installed my first VSR split relay. Before I charged bat for about half an hour every day straight off the 12v dc output and noticed with a very good battery the voltage would go up into the 16's and settle at 12.9. A good battery, or good enough may go up to 13.2 and settle at say 12.5, which is good enough right. Now, with the split charger wired in the voltage read across the top of the bat with the 12v dc hammering in has dropped to 13.3 which is exactly the regulation specification for the split charger.... but.... in reverse, I mean I'm charging the leasure battery that is wired to the starter but charging it just by connecting the genny 12v dc, so the current may be going through the VSR but not coming through it. So wtf's the magic of that? How can the split charger maintain the cross voltage at 13.3 when the dc is plugged straight on the bat?

      Hey Richard. Most folk (me included) either dont know or dont care about the risks of not having a proper earth. Some folk install RVD device to compliment the van's RCD. Youll find that most generators have an earth terminal which you can connect to a metal stake belted into the ground.

    i did it! And it was delicious, buuut, while camping, I forgot how long the bread was supposed to bake... and I didn't want to disturb the coals carefully set on the curved Dutch oven lid, so I let it bake for an hour. I should have checked, and now I know better, and am trying again a second time. The first result was a lovely fluffy bread, with what was probably once a nice crunchy crust, but because of the extra cook time, there was an even quarter inch of black char all around the loaf's crust. We ate up the insides, and that was good. Lol. This second attempt looks much better- it's cooling now :)
