Bought a Generator, Breadmaker in the Van

So what is your question Jimbo? lol

Leroy

You'll get fat eating all that bread, Jimbo

LOL

What sort of hardware are you using Jim ? - our Breadmaker wants about 900W - to make bread and charge batteries at the same time would need something like a 2KVA unit presumably - we would love fresh bread on the wallaby but the car is already too full of toys to fit the breadmaker in.

Jimbo

I have told you before that you are getting soft in your aging years:):):):)
Fresh bread - what next, a cow to make fresh cream to turn in to butter for your fresh bread:):):):)
Mate, you will have to trade in the Terracan for a Mack truck to carry all your gear.
Jokes aside you have the right idea - if you want some creature comforts then why not have them. I have set myself up now so I can take a keg of homebrew when I go camping with little effort and have my favourite homebrew on tap all the time while I am camping. Nothing like sitting back during "happy hour/s" with a cold homebrew and listen to the world go by.
Sure hope to catch up with you Mexicans again one day and have some fun. Still often talk about our trip to Vic when I met up with a few of you guys.
By the way I have not seen "Glen" or "numberone" on any posts for a long time. I check this sight about 6 times a day to see what is happening in the real world.
By the way I am very happy with the Coromal Sillhoutte and have had no problems as yet, Done about 6000Kms since I bought it. As for the Terracan - would be the best vehicle I have owned in my driving career ( about 40 years). Best thing I ever did was going from the petrol to the diesel. Have 45000 kms up so far and only had the diff replaced under warranty. Only modification was pump up air bags in the rear springs for towing the coromal and they work a treat.
Don't forget the Bathurst races this year if you can make it. Plenty of room in the back yard and heaps of homebrew and homemade spirits on tap all the time.
Cheers mate.

Jimbo, you must have a dam quick bread maker to make a loaf in 2 hours. Mine at home takes 3min-5max hours and it only seems that the loaves baked for the longer period are worth eating.

Whats the secret?

hey jimbo
you going into competition with roachie

Jimbo,

Bet you'll make heaps of new friends. The smell of fresh bread in the morning should bring them scurrying like cockroaches.

Stuff messing around with damper, I'm with you Jimbo. Arc the genny up, crack on the breadmaker and do a bit of battery charging at the same time.

Honda 2Ei 2Kva - quiet reliable, econamonocle and it's the only 2kVa that'll keep my jackhammer going without complaining.

Damper's Okaaaayyy - but only if ya haven't got a breadmaker ;)

You're not Robinson Crusoe there Jimbo.

My mates laughed at me when I suggested we take the bread maker......."why not? you're taking a generator aren't ya!"

Now it's one more thing that is on the list for any trips more than 4 or 5 days.

I cant believe what I'm reading, taking bread makers camping. I don't know why some people leave home when they take most of it with them.
What's wrong with a camp oven and a fire.
But if you call camping heading into the nearest caravan park.
Or going into a nice quite place and starting a noisy generator to make bread.
How soft are Aussie's getting.

For the two years we were travelling around Australia, we ran our bread maker from an inverter, while travelling. We would set up the machine before setting off in the morning, inside the caravan, then at lunchtime when you stop you have a fresh loaf for lunch.

jimbo,
We took a breadmaker on our last trip to Bathurst Bay. It solved the problem of freezing bread and taking up room in the deep freeze for up to two weeks. Just whack it on when the genny is running and bobs your uncle. 2ui honda provides plenty for fridges, battery charging, lights etc. Best thing since sliced bread.
Cheers,

Aaahhh the serenity

Have you people no refinement whatever? What is wrong with taking your breadmaker...Oh yeah freesh wholegrain bread. I found mine was best set on the timer in the Annexe so that when the morons who want to wake the whole encampement at 3.27 am to go fishing do, so the noise of my breadmaker is hardly heard over the din..."OVER THIS WAY A BIT GEORGE, RIGHTO FRANK I'LL GRAB THE ESKY OK MATE" ALONG WITH THE DULCIT TONES OF TINNIES BEING DRAGGED ONTO THE BACK OF TRAILERS ETC... Yeah give me fresh bread anyday!
I also have a novel alternate use for the breadmaker as well, When not in use my CPAP machine fits neatly inside it for travel...Then I have to carry the bread slicer seperatley in it's own bag.
Though one question I posed to Sybil is why do people make bread early in the morning? so they will have fresh bread to toast at breakfast?

Nothing beats the smell and taste of fresh bread in the morning, oh and the sound of a noisy generator?

Hey jim
way back a year or more ago i reacted somewaht to a smart alec comment from a w?*er called kaos who suggested that a bad water taste i wanted ideas on how to fix in my KK at that time was because i probably relieved myself in the water tank filler at night - his idea of black humour obviously- as you said to me at the time and i have followed your advice - you have to take the good with the bad on this site cause you dont know if there 12 or 60 or with an iq of 9 or 140 who reply mate
<<
i note your slightly terse reaction to rob's smart alec comments mate
me i say go the breadmakers and i am just about to set forth to retravision or kmart or similar to buy one which i hope i can run ok with my 1000 watt inverta and or my 1 kw honda gen - all the comforts of home forme in the bush / beach when possible and i have being practising at this 4wd camping game / beach fishing for over 40 years and i still need more practise to get it right
<<
PS incidently i do think its a sad thing that so many competent really experienced people who used to give free advice on the site such as colin rivers etc have given it away cause of the dare i say it virulent w?@ers
see you jim
greg

Interesting reading

I've never come a bunch of people who don't squeal and carry on when fresh Damper is cooked. I must be living in an different Universe.

LOL
