    Hi Nick & Leigh
    Nick your facial expressions absolutely cracked me up when Leigh’s dad came out & said exactly what you predicted!!🤣😂 Love it❤
    My 16 yr old son Daniel has made a suggestion for Taylor! He said why don’t you guys get a bike carrier for the back of Taylor’s doors so you guys can bring two bikes where ever you go & that way you can leave Taylor parked up & cycle to the pub or the beach etc.
    Great vlog as always xx

    We have had Star Link for nearly a year with and without a van. I have no idea what you are doing guys it has worked great for us no matter where we have been in the UK. Or what we have been in.

    • @TheLodgeGuys
      @TheLodgeGuys  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      yes the dish hasnt changed at all just the power to it, this is the first part of the overall change the next thing is to cut the back off the dish and mount it to the roof

      @@TheLodgeGuys All the best of luck with it guys. I would be to scared to cut the back off it. Having it mounted though will save a lot of faf on having to drag it in and out all the time.

    This time I have to agree with Nick regarding the overnight oats. Cold oatmeal sounds absolutely disgusting to me, and I would have to heat it up to be able to tolerate it. I have to add that I watch an amazement with the electronic stuff that you were doing in the van, because I wouldn’t even know where to begin with something like that.

    Hi leigh
    When I was a member of slimming world overnight oats was a breakfast must. In a kilner jar I would add 30 -50 grams of oats. 1 - 2 teaspoons of sweetener, Greek fat free yoghurt and frozen mixed berries on top. The next morning it tasted so nice. Only an idea. Love this vlog again

    If you’re still getting voltage drop across the switch cable you can always fit an inline relay in the power cable and use the toggle switch to trip the relay.

    • @TheLodgeGuys
      @TheLodgeGuys  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I just used a more suitable cable so reduced the loss to less than the 4% tolerance

    Hi guys love all the camping vlogs just a idea when we used to go camping in caravan we used to leave toiletries in van so we would not forget anything think after we come back from a trip we would re stock with salt pepper ketchup so on and so on put of beans in any thing that would not go of then on travel day just fresh food
    We also left clean underwear and some T shirts shorts jeans sweatshirts then in travel day we just had a few things to pack
    IKEA do a fold up table you fix to wall and it fold downs when not in used
    And as to fold up chairs we had for long time as we got older we got fold up chairs that was plastic and had a high back on them so much more comfortable
    That’s enough from me for now love what you do
    Have a good day hope to meet you one day
    I live in canvey island in Essex and I am a 10 minute walk to sea front you are welcome to camp out on my driveway but I do have a spear room
    Take care guys

    I use a 5G/4G router at home with a Smarty sim (3 network).
    Unlimited data for £20 a month.
    If one was residing in a very remote location I would understand the need for Starlink and its astronomical setup costs & monthly tarrif.
    In hindsight do you think a 5G router with a roof aerial would have been easier?

    • @TheLodgeGuys
      @TheLodgeGuys  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      there is no unlimited data plans which can be used in Europe hense starlink being the only option, all limit you to 12gb fair use policy :(
