I know how long it takes to charge my mobile phone batteries with my solar panels it's a bit of a trickle charge but we only used it for the two runs from the car (gear and beer) and the run back on the Monday (was left charging the rest of the week). Battery for phone charging was separate. Both seemed to work ok without dying! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squirrelarmy Posted October 26, 2019 Report Share Posted October 26, 2019 The real test will be how well it deals with thick claggy mud. Swap the wheels for tracks and I think you have a winner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carried 8 peoples tents, sleeping bags, chairs and a bag or two all at once Easily carries many crates of beer with almost no effort. Key so you can leave it in a tent porch and it cant be stolen Can't work out how to add video but will attempt to work that out later... What do you guys think? Wouldn't last long in this.. Great in dry tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact is, I only go to smaller festivals nowadays, so am never far away from the camper van anyway. That said, I did get monumentally stoned and pissed up at the Landed Festival this year, and had considerable difficulty finding my way back to the camper van. What should have been no more than a 10 minute walk, turned in to at least a 90 minute walk. It even involved me actually giving up at one point, and walking up to two security stewards and asking them if they would arrest me. I hadn't actually done anything wrong, but in my pissed up state thought that at least I'd get a bed for the night. I didn't get that bed in the end, because the stewards just laughed at me instead.

Cooter Posted October 27, 2019 Report Share Posted October 27, 2019 Then surely that means the King is alive now and mingles amongst us, at least while we're on the farm. Wonder what he's doing right now. Having a cup of tea and having a chitchat with Chris Martin while milking cows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We actually have to put it on the slowest setting or it is too quick... looking forward to testing in the mud as we should be able to up the power to get out of anything too sticky. If it's waterlogged it will stay in the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnmcga Posted October 29, 2019 Report Share Posted October 29, 2019 Each to their own, and I'm impressed at the effort here, but I still think a simpler approach is to just bring less stuff. A big backpack and a small bag and that's me. Easy to manouevre, fewer issues in mud, nice and easy to take public transport too. (I do spend more than I'd like on food and drink over the weekend though, it's true...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoghurt on a Stick Posted November 5, 2019 Report Share Posted November 5, 2019 Just spotted this while searching for another type of trolley; I reckon with two people involved, you could shift a shed load with that. Not so sure about the solid rubber tyres though, and the price tag at £270, which may or may not include delivery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so sure about the cow print though. I didn't study it long enough. Anyway, while trying to get back to the site, I just came across a multiple trolley combo.
