Leisure Battery Issues & Testing

January 6, 2019 Ryan and Mel 3 Comments

Our NV200 has 2x “100AH” leisure batteries, and these are maintained via a 120W solar charger and CTEK D250S MPPT & B2B smart charger, and generally are maintained to a high voltage all the time and never flat. In the summer, the batteries are full by 9/10am from the solar…

New MWB Campervan Build (Ideas…!)

November 12, 2018 Ryan and Mel 3 Comments

We’ve been chatting, and are having thoughts about building another campervan/motorhome more suited to longer adventure trips.  We’re talking late 2020 early 2021, so just ideas phase for now, but if all goes to plan we’ll have more time and can plan longer trips 🙂   Watch this space. However, we’ve not…

Sweden Summary

July 19, 2018 Ryan and Mel Leave a comment

Sweden was another new country to us, and one that we’d heard mixed things about, generally that there is not a huge amount to see and we should spend more time in Norway! So our expectations were low. But due to the weather being crap in northern Norway, and Sweden…

Norway Summary

Ryan and Mel Leave a comment

We didn’t know much about Norway, and we didn’t really have many expectations. We’ve known enough people doing similar trips to know it isn’t that tough, but still didn’t know many answers before we left. So some of our thoughts:- Food and entertainment is very expensive. Think 2-3x UK prices…

Trip index page is HERE and all photos from this trip are HERE Week 5 started with us waking up in the very quiet Skuleskoggen national park after a good walk and nights sleep the day before. A few other vans were parked overnight around the corner, but felt like we…

Lofoten to the Swedish Hoga Kusten

June 30, 2018 Ryan and Mel Leave a comment

Trip index page is HERE and all photos from this trip are HERE Our fourth week started with the same dreary cold, wet and windy weather. Not overly wet but buffeting winds and chillingly cold with low clouds, sort of makes looking at the Lofotens a bit pointless. The weather was…

Trondheim to Lofoten Islands

June 23, 2018 Ryan and Mel Leave a comment

Trip index page is HERE and all photos from this trip are HERE Our third week starts by leaving Trondheim and continuing northward, but the journey out for the first hour or so is fast and dull – really quite uninspiring and quite tiring. The countryside has been a lot less…

Bergen to Trondheim

Trip index page is HERE and all photos from this trip are HERE We hit Bergen on the Sunday which meant we were able to finda small pay & display area right in the centre that was free!  Phew – otherwise £3/h.  Bergen was very very touristy, full of cruise ship…

For trip index click HERE – for all photos of trip see HERE After fixing the bike cover we headed to Dresden where there are 3 permitted motorhome areas close to the old town, and bizarrely we chose the same as last time we were here! That’s not changed much,…

A great little hob top grill, toaster, oven that exceeds expectation and totally negates our desire for a grill. Good for toasties, grilled fish etc. Brilliant!
