What's been your best or worst MH gadget? (1 Viewer)

Just replace the 240v socket with one that has 2 USB ports

Love my self leveling and motorised awning , only thing slung out so far has been the sun loungers ,they take up too much space

 

[Forestboy]

Best?
Electric Grill with lid

Cadac would have been on my list if remap hadn't cost so much.
My Cadac is now a bird table and it's a better bird table than bbq

Cadac the worst, don't understand why everyone was raving over them at the time, used it the first time we had it , then carried it about for a couple of years , it now sits at home , used once, I would sell it if someone wants it but wouldn't like to push it on anyone.
Best by far , two flexible solar panels, followed by gasit, we just don't need hookup for anything, a Belgian bloke in honfleur couldn't make out why we didn't want to piggy back off his electric as it was in the price, but just nothing we could run off it apart maybe the fridge.

I can understand that SJ if it can be seen but is there anyway it can be installed where not visable with easy access

.. perhaps behind the cushion on the narrow ledge between the wall and seat back.. will give it some thought..

cheers

Cadac the worst, don't understand why everyone was raving over them at the time,

likewise.. mine ended up behind the shed.. unwanted and unloved..

it them went to the recycle site.. maybe one day it will be reborn into a proper barbie.. like a Weber

 

[Langtoftlad]

Personally, we consider our worst and I know a lot will be shouting, nooooooooo, is the double skillet.

Totally agree, waste of space, waste of money, couldn't even sell it at a car boot, cluttering up the garage somewhere

Best = retrofitted cruise control

[DBK]

which make have you bought ?

I was looking at CBE but they are a bit pricey ..

Mostly nameless things off eBay though the first one I fitted looked like this - but I paid a lot more at the time! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/351454057303?

I fitted this one in place of a CBE cigar lighter type socket by simply drilling out the middle.

 

[mpdcymru]

Not strictly an extra as came as part of the "Lux pack" when we bought the van but, cruise control is absolutely fantastic!!!!
Worst buy was a breathable awning mat which has never been used but is moved every time I need to take the table or chairs out of the storage box - I really should leave it at home - perhaps I will cut it into strips and use it for sound deadening!

 

[scotzsue]

Best remoska, solar and gaslow (has cruise control but we had it fitted on last van)
worst, food grade hose, have a load of the useless stuff in the garage at home, unless it ent to the tip while i was away not checking this van had a cutlery drawer and a wheeled casette

 

[Cat53]

To date.....best sheepskins

Worst Duvalay.

 

[MitchandJenny]

Bloody satellite dish.
Wasted hours F*****g about with the damn thing.....
Shouting.... "is that ok yet love ??"
What a waste. OK for UK ((Maybe ))

[mike mcglynn]

My best buy was a solar panel and worst was probably a tripod type satellite dish, which has only been out of its bag twice in 4 years never managed a picture yet so its been banished to the garage

 

[irnbru]

Its gotta be the Fon box followed by the boost as best 2 gadgets. Saved me a fortune this last year.

 

[big map]

Best bucket with a lid and rechargeable Dyson.
Worse the fridge we bought in June no where near as big as the old one. Now considering importing a new one the same as the old one.

 

[magicsurfbus]

Worst was a 12v TV/DVD Combo made by Meos (who?) - everything that could fail on it failed. The factory fitted Status TV Aerial comes a close second.

Best? The free SatNav POI files on the CCI website, showing aires etc all over Europe.

 

[DanielFord]

Even our safari room we love, it doesn't quite fit, because we got it second hand and it is for a smaller van. We overcome this with our security measures:

[XRN]

What's yours Robert? Levellers?

Tried to get up them once, thought I was driving over a cliff!!

 

[Anthea M]

Weren't they any good for your van?
How are you both? Any Millie news?

 

[RowleyBirkinQC]

Best has to be the Avtex Snipe 2 satellite dish, brilliant piece of kit. Close second has to be the solar and inverter! Everything else gets used a lot, so none of them are the worst

We are also impressed with the Snipe 2 satellite dish, seems to be the product the original Snipe should have been.

We are good, not been anywhere which need the huge ramps yet, and Millie is still missing unfortunately.

Will behave next time.

Not!

Is the electric guard dog recharging on USB or 12v?

LOL, I think she's 3 phase with the amount of energy she has! Good spot on the restraining wire though

We just love the way you select satellite, and hit ok and it finds it. Been using Astra 1 to follow the GP that isn't on UK TV
