Current test products and accessories:
1. Aero flat wiper blades
Supplier: Ebay
Price: £14.99
Verdict: looks cleaner and neater than standard blades, sadly doesn’t work as well, blades lift from screen above 70mph (ah hem). Getting worse with age, a year in now they won’t sit flat to the screen any more, bad.
2. 1000W inverter
Supplier: Exeter Battery Centre
Price: £99.00
Verdict: Excellent sturdy product for using electrical products in your car from a battery power source. Nothing else comes close. We’ve tried a 300w invertor, then a 600w invertor, but only this 1000w version could be guaranteed to reliably deliver enough power for our Apple Mac Macbook Pro.
3. Michelin Energy tyre
Supplier: Protyre, Exeter
Price: £100 each
Verdict: superb mileage atainble from this OE item designed especially for this MPV. Expensive, but quiet, grippy, long lasting. Recommend.
4. Tow bar attachment bike carrier
We’re delighted with the oh-so-simple to use 4 bike carrier from Pendle. Costing around £100, it simply adds a sturdy bracket to your towbar, allowing you to slot in 2 heavy duty metal bars which suspend the bikes weight (up to 4 of them) on your towbar. Awesome, and rock solid. Recommended.
5. MPV driveaway awning annexe
Now, we want to try one of these, for extending your camper experience. Several manufacturers offer these, including Sunncamp, Kamper.
Not trying, but would like a test review on:
