Is It WORTH It? 🤷🏻‍♂️ I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!

In this video we adapt a way to use our portable folding solar panel to charge the onboard leisure battery in our van.
We bought the portable solar panel to use whilst camping to help keep our electronics charge whilst off grid but rather than waste the suns energy we decide to adapt it so we could use it for our van as well.

Dear Northerers
we love your vids! We camp - mainly at shell island. but we (me) need electric. I want my tablet to watch the odd tv programme. is the Ecoflow 2 worth buying? also what would you recommend for a good WiFi signal? I love camping, went to Shell Island in 1971 with mom n dad. we love Menorca, but think camping is the new vacation. please help

Hi Helen
Thanks for watching the videos, we understand yiur pain with the lack of power on some sites ( particularly Shell island). We could not give you our opinion on the Ecoflow as we haven't used one but i watched a great video by Urban Van Life and they go through the Ecoflow 2 in depth th-cam.com/video/cLUIyKrd9ts/w-d-xo.html.
Hope that helps with the power. As for wifi their is the Star link ( i think thats whats its called) from Elon musk but again we have never used one.
Thanks again for watching.👍

Does this just plug straight on your leisure battery or is there a solar charger unit it goes too first? Great idea rather than fixed panels.

Hi Peter, the solar panel we have has its own built in solar controller so it goes straight to the battery, i suppose if it didnt have one built in then one would need fitting before it goes to the battery.
