I've not been feeling well so I didn't go on a huge van life adventure today, but I had to get out the house and spend a night in the camper van. And where better to go than down to the beach!
In todays video I decided to try out the EV charging port, and it worked amazingly well! As I currently have no solar panels, this is ideal and I can now go on adventures knowing that I can get more electricity whenever I like!
Check out the beast of a power station, the Delta Pro:
Direct from EcoFlow: uk.ecoflow.com...
Amazon: geni.us/DeltaPRO
My Fiat Ducato camper van is still fairly basic, but with the electric vehicle charging option, it's coming together nicely. Although over the next few weeks I'm going to really push on with the van build, and get the UK and Europe van life adventures underway!

2:30 I don't know why but watching you want to help that pigeon weirdly makes me happy! Thanks! 😀
Lots of people saying they didn’t like it, but for me, this was excellent. Never thought of using the EV charge points for anything other than an EV.
As someone else said in their comment, Charger that don’t see enough use won’t be maintained, or may even be removed altogether, so using one that’s idle is actually helpful for people that need them.
Can you give some more info about the practicality of it? Like where to get the coupler and any other equipment to make it charge a 12v, or 24v system, rather than the high voltage used by EVs?
Thanks
sorry to hear you're not well, hope you're feeling better soon. Lots of vitamin C and warm honey & lemon drinks!
Ah, Cooden beach. One of my favourite places to unwind. You should definitely do an overnighter down there 😍
Love that you always come and stay down the road from me!! My son always makes me drive down the road to look for the pigeon van!!
Glad you had a good time in Bexhill, shame they stopped people staying at the galley hill end
Always look forward to your content Adam...thank you...... But missin Bectoria too!!!!
coffee on the beach did it for me.. hope ur feeling better
That’s a great way to charge up
What a video!!! Stones, Pigeons… even a Kite ! Wowsers!!
Whilst a death’s doors, Adz throws his mortality to the wind to provide us with entertainment Mecca!
Hero
😂😂😂 the stone throw was my finest moment
Adz I noticed the sign for rother district council were you camping in Norman's bay by any chance also when you settled down with your you tube did I see Matty Brendan's mate in the video you were watching
If you like beach side camping you should try camber lovely sand dunes or greatstone it has some beach side location to park up
Thanks
Ahh even on a short video. Thanks mate!
Haha good to see you near us, we live about 5 mins from the beach park up!!!!
High level of entertainment in this video. One of the best yet.
Mate you’re a pleasure to watch - keep em coming
Now thats clever electric charging point to the power bank - never thought of that
Was really nice to meet you at Vanlife festival keep the vids coming fella get better soon
Thanks mate! You too!
You can charge every powerstation at ev charge points. Tough, ecoflow is fast at 3400w.
And yeah, they are for cars and blocking them can be against tos.
Adz that video 'was the one'! Smashed it.. 😊
Really looking forward to seeing how your van takes shape now.
Hope you feel better pal
Thanks Darren!
Thanks
Thank you so much!
Best video I have ever watched on TH-cam
Hi Adz
Next time you do the pizza bagels add some shredded sun dried tomatoes, basil and oregano. Tikka and Mexican chicken as alternative to bbq but just the herbs and sun dried will be amazing.
Hope you are a lot better now as you probably filmed a few days ago.
If you put a coupling port on the van for and external electrics connector no one would know it’s not a phev conversion. Get a custom phev sticker. For your portable home electric van.
Have fun with the electrics I wonder if you can configure your leisure batteries for fast ev charging.
Wow the best one yet Adam. Keep up the good work. No seriously amazing 😂
Haha thank you Maxine! I need a big adventure asap!
Where have you been Adz , looks lovely
Fantastic video! 🚐📹🤳👍🏻
Hope your feeling better soon ❤❤
Encore! 👏
Great video one of the best so far 😂😂😂 Can I have the old screen and projector 😜
Adz, I was entertained, keep on doing what you are doing :)
hope u get better soon ATZ
Thank you!
great video, go camp at whitstabler, thats where I am from originally
Your projector screen: I use a piece of white Foamex as a screen when I am camping. It is the same material they make estate agent boards out of. It's light and reflects well. Couple of bits of velco would do you right before you get your main screen, but the sheet makes my eyes go funny. You're welcome
Good idea mate but I’ve spent so much time (and money) doing temporary bits to the van so I’m just focusing on getting it done properly now. But yeah it is a bit strange seeing a wonky screen 😂
Where was the beach park up with the sign for no campervans?
One of the funniest videos I’ve seen today 🤘
Haha thanks Jake!
woooow😮 where’s that beach park up looks great 👍🏻
I did what I knew needed to be done.
Awesome vlog. Van life and even had a pigeon for pigeon lovers. Awesome 👍
Thanks! Yeah the pigeons deserve the limelight! 😂
If you had kept going straight sticking to the coast on your left for another 15-20 minutes you’d have come across Norman’s bay beach. I use to camp there in my camper before I stupidly sold it 😭 you can actually park on the beach and camp (your not supposed too) but always loads of campers there and some people seem to be living there in their vans! Check it out one day it’s a lovely place to wake up 👍🏼🤙🏼
Typed this before watching the entire video 😅
Yeah I’ve heard some people saying they give out £500 fines but I’m not sure that’s true! I might have to test it at some point lol
This is the best one yet. Amazing pigeon/crow action.
Not sure how you will ever beat this.
Haha it was so tense! 😂😂😂 I’ll give it a go somehow
We have a racing pigeon that’s ram away and comes to my house 7am and 5pm for his breakfast and dinner lol I want an ecoflow they look awesome
I’m so jealous! I need a regular pigeon visitor!
Definitely the best whilsting I'm up to no good I have ever heard...... You should bring that out as a ringtone 😂....
I think that’s what kept me hidden! 😂
Needed a chucklexxc
Great video mate😂 get well soon
Genuinely love your commitment to pigeons, we need to see more of this please. Pigeon of the week segment?
Haha one day it may get out of hand and they’ll be living in the van with me! 😂
Awesome video. Two thumbs up! Can’t wait for the next.
Edge of the seat stuff in this one, proper gripping 😝❤️🤣 Keep them all coming absolutely love your channel and witty humour! Hope your feeling better soon ✌️
Love your channel, so real and fun to watch but also hits also the main points of typical van life! Hope your channel continues to grow! Also if you don’t mind sharing… where is the drive on beach 👀?
Cooden beach, East Sussex.
Cooden beach, East Sussex.
Thank you! And yeah I think it’s cooden beach. Near Hastings and Bexhill
Take my money!! Best video in the history of TH-cam!!!
Haha thank you Paul! 😂
Brilliant video adz the stone throw was arse cheek eage of the seat stuff
I know, I’m starting to think I should’ve censored it 😂
@@Adz I have just burst out laughing reading that 😂 dont ever change man ur great
Another gem of a video Adz 👍👍
Another great video Adam, even when your ill you still provide us with great content. Keep up the great work
Nice to see the air fryer back pal 😂 great vlog keep em coming 👍
I'm interested to see what you do with the setup in this van as with the ecoflo there's not really any point doing any wiring to add sockets etc, the max you really need to do is wire in a solar panel.
Ps - today I feel like you look in this video so I feel your pain 😂😂
Get better soon Adz. Cracking little vlog. Where were you???
Thanks John! This was down near Bexhill
I couldn't keep my focus..had to watch in 3 parts..just joking around ...feel better soon adz..from Canada
Much video, very wow! Would watch again!
But on the serious side, keep up the good work! It's great seeing the van progress, and I think we were just lucky to start watching your adventures straight away as you completed the van first!
Saw a Blue VW Caddy while going through Poole this morning, and immediately thought of Jellybean 😢.
But seeing those views though the windows makes me look forward in seeing the completed van! It's going to be, "The One"*.
*until you upgrade 2 more times and just end up with the motor home you test drove a few episodes back 😂
I’m just watching you on TH-cam wondering what you watch on TH-cam haha great video mate
Haha, various things but at the moment I’m loving whistlin diesel (I think that’s what it’s called)
OMG! This might just be the best video on TH-cam! Wow! Great stuff!
I’m waiting for a TH-cam award! 😂
Mate was more than decent considering you’re ill👍🏻 if you’re not doing detailed van build videos then perhaps some time lapse videos of the work would be interesting. Still a strong 7.3👍🏻👍🏻
The van is starting to look ‘the one’ 👏
Literally subbed for the epic turn 😅
Haha thanks, I should start teaching the skills! 😂😂
How's tricks m8. Come on man whens the lazy spa being fitter in the new van lol
Quick question. Where abouts is that beach where u drove onto? Looks nice.
where can one get hold of that EV charger to eco flow cable mate ?
Appreciate the effort on the video as well.. Man Flu is real 👊🏽
The cable itself is just a standard ev cable, there’s an adapter you can get for the delta pro, it’s on their website. But it’s only for the delta pro rather than for any other power station
You poor thing 😢 hope your feeling better soon !! Still a great Vlog regardless 😃 Debs and Mark xxx
Electrifying video Could hardly contain my self 😂😂😂 keep up the good work hope you’re feeling better by now
Haha thanks mate! Yeah I’m all good now so planning a new video this week!
Mr and Mrs Dursley, of number four, Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much. They were the last people you’d expect to be involved in anything strange or mysterious, because they just didn’t hold with such nonsense.
Mr Dursley was the director of a firm called Grunnings, which made drills. He was a big, beefy man with hardly any neck, although he did have a very large moustache. Mrs Dursley was thin and blonde and had nearly twice the usual amount of neck, which came in very useful as she spent so much of her time craning over garden fences, spying on the neighbours. The Dursleys had a small son called Dudley and in their opinion there was no finer boy anywhere.
The Dursleys had everything they wanted, but they also had a secret, and their greatest fear was that somebody would discover it. They didn’t think they could bear it if anyone found out about the Potters. Mrs Potter was Mrs Dursley’s sister, but they hadn’t met for several years; in fact, Mrs Dursley pretended she didn’t have a sister, because her sister and her good-for-nothing husband were as unDursleyish as it was possible to be. The Dursleys shuddered to think what the neighbours would say if the Potters arrived in the street. The Dursleys knew that the Potters had a small son, too, but they had never even seen him. This boy was another good reason for keeping the Potters away; they didn’t want Dudley mixing with a child like that.
When Mr and Mrs Dursley woke up on the dull, grey Tuesday our story starts, there was nothing about the cloudy sky outside to suggest that strange and mysterious things would soon be hap- pening all over the country.
You need to look more smug using the charging station Adz,
I’ll start practicing the smug face! 😂
Please can you post a link to the charging port adapter & cable? = can`t find it on your merch page
The cable is just a type 2 ev cable mate. I just got a fairly cheap one off Amazon. And the adapter is specifically for the ecoflow delta pro. But hopefully they’ll start putting this feature on all the smaller power stations too!
Is that beach road at the end the road from Hythe to Eastbourne it looks like the same one I used to park up at and have fish and chips there if I was down that way.
absolute funny as always. hope you get better soon. can`t wait for your progress on the Van.
Thank you! Yeah it’s starting to come together now so I’ll show the progress in the next video!
Where was that park up by the beach ?
I love pigeons too
A charge point on the side of the van would be Good, just like on an EV. Good show Adz.
Yeah that’s the plan, and thanks!
This is the best video ever! Hope you are feeling better soon.
I should win an award right! Haha thank you!
Wow just wow, what a video
Oscar worthy! 😂😂
@@Adz carbon is a scam mate didn't you work it out yet ?
It's was literally hotter in Roman times than it is now and that's pre industrial revolution so what's that abt eh?
😂
Lol, you must have some great reactions when reviewing your footage for editing. If you ever feel like putting a short video of that, I'm sure I'd enjoy it and wouldn't be the only one.
And I'd say get better soon but by the time but you must already be better by now since editing is not instant :D
Lovin’ your work
Hi Adam, what model of air fryer have you got? Ta.
For real best video ever when you said it’s not going to be the best video ever it still amazing and get better soon 😊
I don't know how you do it mate another great video the best so far cant wait fir the next
Thank you Allan! I’m looking forward to filming the next one!
Hi Adz - New Sub, Missed you at Vanlife fest - with The Matti & Brendan crew lol
Haha, that pidgeon wasn't going to have anything happening to it with you around! 😂 The video was still entertaining even though you were ill! Looking forward to the next video and seeing the next bit of progression to the van too!
This might be your best video yet.. Wow😮

It’s from Trade Glass mate. Just look in the Ducato section. And thanks!
@@Adz nice one cheers👍
Great video Adz best one yet 👍👍 keep them coming mate enjoying seeing progress
This video is ADZ-MAZING! 🎉
Thanks mate!
Another Great video. Loving those huge windows bringing the views into the van👌🏻 looking forward to the next stage of the build. Oh ye. Is that a fresh tattoo on your arm? 🤫
Sorry just seen this. Yeah I’m loving the windows! Definitely made the right decision there. And nah I’ve had those tattoos for years. I need a new one!
Great effort considering how ill you where man!
You still got that positive energy somehow, what's your secret!?!
I have questions.
(1) Where are all the baby pigeons ?. Hmm. You never see any do you. It's one of life's great mysteries.
(2) speaking of mysteries. Why is your bespoke, expertly carpentered kitchen unit always tipped over on the floor ?.
Get well soon and keep up the good content.
Best video ever and I'm not even joking!
Haha thanks mate!
Hi Adz
Sorry to bother you if youve already given this information out but what model of delta pro are you using.
Getting my van turn of the year so want to get what i need in advance, love your channel and just hope i enjoy the life as you seem to m8 😅
There’s only 1 version of the delta pro (which is what I had in this video) but I’ve used a range of other power stations. They’re brilliant things and enough for some people. But not many of them (apart from one of the bluetti ones) can output more than 10 amps on the 12v side. So for things like diesel heaters they won’t work. I’ve now got a full lithium battery set up and just use power stations as back up
Just curious, how fast was it charging? My car can do up to 150kW, recently I did 120kW at Banbury chargers and that was charging at a rate of 480mph (Yep, giving 480 miles range every hour). I'm guessing these batteries won't charge anywhere near that fast due to their size, even on a fast charger.
I said in the video how many watts it was taking but can’t remember now. Pretty sure it’s about 2.8kw maximum on the delta pro
How have I never run into you!? Alot of the places you stay I go on daily lol I know exactly where this is and you are lucky because the traffic wardens are evil in them parts 😂
