Mawddach Estuary Swim July 2024
With good safety cover and lots of open water swimming experience it's an epic 10 Kilometre swim from Barmouth Harbour to Penmaenpool when you choose the right conditions and can navigate the route. Beware of fast currents. There is an organised event with a limited number of places left in 2024 www.levelwater.org/hurlyburly

Three more Suggested Tweeks to Shurflo Pump Uograde on a Hymer MLT580
zhlédnutí 92Před 5 měsíci
As a follow up to the previous video about fitting a Shurflo pump to a Hymer here are three more suggestions to help you get it right first time. The pump makes a low frequency buzz/knocking sound and it is a lot louder in real life than I could record on the video.
Hymer fresh water pump upgrade
zhlédnutí 1,6KPřed 5 měsíci
The Reich water pump in our Hymer keeps needing to be replaced on an annual basis and has let us down on two seperate trips. Despite the expense it's sensible to always carry a spare one! The original fresh water pump on our Hymer MLT 580 was low pressure and unreliable. For such an expensive motorhome it's surprising improvements like this even need considering.

If you’re travelling to or from UK to the EU than changing the units on your speedo can save a lot of mental arithmetic or worse still a fine for accidentally breaking a speed limit. Here’s how easy is to set a digital speedo in the units inside or outside the UK with the Mercedes MBux system.

If you enjoy outdoor activity, snow, nature and mountains then a motor home or camper van tour of Norway in early Spring should be on your bucket list! We enjoyed some beautiful weather during our visit to Norway in May 2023. It really felt like the whole country was waking up from a long winter and already the evenings were light and bright and there was very little darkness until midnight.

    @timw9589 Před měsícem

    Thanks for the video. I have a 2007 hymer caravan that's had this conversion done but has left the original pump in place. What's the power consumption compared with the original Reich? I've also had the shower mixer (reich) fail as it seems to have blown a seam on it. Going to look at turning the pressure down a bit too as the toilet flush is now so fierce the water ends up out of the bowl.

    • @AndySanderson
      @AndySanderson Před měsícem

      There are 20 and 30 psi versions of these pumps. I was worried pipe connections may not be up to the continuous pressure and i turn system off and briefly turn a tap on when not in use to relieve it. If you’ve got the more powerful version that may be the cause of too much pressure. You can check power consumption etc on the pumps from the Shurflo data on various websites.

    You can put in at Glasbury on the down river side, up river you're technically not allowed to put in but you just need to walk under the bridge & you're good to go. I confirmed this at the canoe hire company at Glasbury & actually put in on the down side of the bridge with no problems. Its all about the council having to do an environmental impact study on the up river side, the other down river side of the bridge isn't anything to do with them so no restrictions. It's very pretty on this section but the river really meanders & can be shallow in places requiring you to haul over the shingles in lower water conditions not a major problem but can slow you down, I underestimated my timings & the distance to bycross campsite & only just made it before dark absolutely knackered. Probably best to split this section in two especially if you're inexperienced &/or using an inflatable as they're slower than solid kayaks. If the river has decent flow you might be ok to do the whole stretch but it's much more enjoyable to take your time & take in the scenery & wildlife.

      With normal use on campsites it’s not a serious problem. If loaded up with luggage on a long tour with a full fuel tank it’s obviously lower. We frequently need to travel with lots of water to wild camp spots but the manufacturer says only travel with the water tank 20% full which is not helpful. The full tank is heavy and what makes things even worse but what’s the point of having off grid power etc for 10 days if you can only fill up with a days worth of water!

    Wish i had seen this video today just had the same problem after filling water tank from the winter drain down. Pump would not stop running no water coming from the taps . All sorted now it was due to me filling tank and opening all taps so pump did not build up any pressure . Since learned should prime the water system by just opening the hot kitchen tap pump then builds up pressure quickly and when you turn off kitchen tap pump should stop without any adjustment to the pressure switch.
