    Greenercamping

For the last week or so we have been in Suffolk visiting our Daughter and have stayed a few nights at...

    Phew, it’s hot, I need a fan.....

    I’ve been looking at 12v fans to help keep us cool at night in the Motorhome as temperatures seem to be raising. Endless Breeze, though expensive and hard to come by now, get mixed reviews, also the Roadpro rp8000 seems unavailable, so, I am looking at an alternative to them, that is available...

    I need a UK data sim

    We will be travelling to the UK in a week or so to visit our Daughter for 3 weeks and will need a data sim to use in our mifi unit. What can you recommend? We would rather buy one online, and the easiest way for us to do this is to use Amazon.

    Tefal Ingenio Chopper / Hachoir

    It’s not often we buy something for use in the kitchen that isn’t operated by electricity that actually works as advertised, but today, all expectations were exceeded when we used the above.

    cooking advice...

    Don’t cook scallops in your van in an open pan when it’s raining and all the windows are shut. We did, 4 weeks ago and I can still smell them in the van now........ The smell is going, gradually, but I can’t believe how the after effect lingers, even while using the van and leaving everything...

    Oldie but a goodie

We've covered about 19000 miles in it since we bought it about 17 months ago. Since we bought it, I...
