THIS week I bought (2 Viewers)

[Wombles]

Funny how the human mind works.

We have been happy to spend thousands on our motorhome by fitting a levelling system, solar panels, lithium battery, B2B, cab blinds, extra security, so on and so on, but we hummed and harred about investing in a defibrillator due to their cost.

After coming to our senses and realising that our lives are worth more than a grand or so, we have bought a defibrillator just in case, which can be in easy reach when at home or away in the motorhome.

As a coincidence, earlier this week a 25 year old electrician accidentally got a wack off of a 415 volt supply where Yvette works, which stopped his heart.
Luckily for him there was a defibrillator to hand and after two shocks from the defibrillator his heart was restarted before the paramedics arrived. He left hospital yesterday and what if a defibrillator was not to hand ?

It does make good sense - something I've considered but not taken the plunge yet. Will look that one up now...

I have been considering something similar ... what were your deciding factors on this particular model?

Jim has bought some for standby at MHF meets & shows but I don't know which ones he has.

I have been considering something similar ... what were your deciding factors on this particular model?

The main factors that influenced our choice for the Zoll, were, we trust St John Ambulance, and if they are happy to sell this model through their website then it will not be rubbish or a nightmare to use.
It would seem that the batteries and shocking pads are date limited on all the defibrillators we looked at and would need replacing batteries ever 5 years and pads ever 2 years on average. The batteries on most of the other defibrillators are a pack unique to each manufacturer and being between £150 to £250 a pop, and that was a bit to much to swallow, where as the Zoll uses 10 x CR123 off the shelf lithium batteries at about £20 for 10. We also found that the pads for the Zoll were a sensible price compared to most other manufacturers.
Hopefully the defibrillator will sit there never to be used, so the cost of batteries and pads to be chucked away on their expiry date was a big influence on which to buy.

That looks good. Where did you buy it please?

[TUCANO]

Perhaps it's one like this Amazon product ASIN B0013T5X0E - it does take a little longer to fill a tank but you don't have to unreel it.

I bought a similar hose years ago, brilliant bit of kit and no need to unwind it all as has been said previously. I keep mine in a large plastic bag and bung a cork in the nozzle to stop the inevitable dribble from it.

This week I traded in my Jag XF and bought a Seat Mii
Errrmmmmm

 

[maison]

Two new number plates to match our latest motorhome. One each for the trailer for our scooter and for the tow-bar mounted cycle rack so that we don’t have to swap them over depending on what we are taking with us.

Now we just need the weather to improve a little.

It is a very simple, but effective, thingy for putting your socks on without needing to bend down... for those of us who have mobility and flexibility problems.

Helps you take them off too


JJ

I have found that if I do 20 touch my toes exercises when I get out of the shower in a morning I am flexible enough to put my socks and shoes on easily,,BUSBY.

 

[busby]

Two new hybrid cycles from Currys,,,too windy and cold to ride them at the moment though. BUSBY.

[In a Pickle]

Just been out and bought some fresh water tank cleaner. Will give it all a good flush through before we have a long weekend away this weekend. Weather is looking very nice around the Costa Calida, been a beautiful day today.

 

[Markas]

A complete Ducato X250 fuel filter with housing as I must've been pissing out diesel for the last several thousand miles. Saw a bit of a puddle in La Rochelle last week but thought it couldn't possibly be me as the van was serviced in November ?
Could try buying the Draper tool and a new cartridge but as it's leaking it's probably screwed anyway.
Still getting 32mpg though ?

I'm very confused but wouldn't some velcro have been cheaper?

Velcro on number plates? Is that what you meant?

With the number of vehicles being cloned easily removable number plates aren’t a good idea in my opinion.

Also, having suffered from a “lost” numberplate while on an extended European tour, we found it impossible to replace it outside the UK with the consequent worries regarding legality of not displaying one. So these will be screwed in place with double sided tape behind them.

Still, if saving £10 is that important on a multi thousand pound motorhome, (less the cost of the Velcro), that’s OK, if you make that decision bearing in mind the possible downsides.

No idea what it is though!

Two things Inna Moho that are indispensable,,, imho,,,
A Dyson.
And copious rolls of kitchen Tissue.

I hated my Dyson Animal, battery was rubbish too. Now we have the Gtech handy, infinitely better in my humble opinion!?

 

[claude et maude]

We have one in the office, we have one at home and now we have one for our Hymer.....

love a salted caramel cappuccino in the morning before heading to the showers. They have a deal currently so for £99 you get the coffee machine, 2x Glass mugs and a box of salted caramel chocolates.

 

[Two on Tour]

Oh dear, another new watch, but this one is a bit different as it has a 24 hour automatic movement and face.

..... a 2nd copy of a Spanish Cookery book from my favourite Spanish chef, because my brother, when he visited us last week took a liking to it and made me feel so guilty that I had to give him the one that I had.

 

[PhilG]

2 cylinder Head gaskets, from the USA , just on the off chance I may use them.

2 sets of Protective Floor Mats from Aldi, they are the type for under exercise equipment.

Warm and comfy underfoot

A lion with clothes on is frightening enough ?
