Today, north of Spain, coastline. Inside the motorhome 38.5C. A record!

The AC would not make a difference to be honest. Unless you were to stay closed in the top bed and let it run nonstop there. Luckily I went to my sister's apartment for the day.

Else I usually use the AC like this, but today it would not cope:

To blow cold air towards me and my laptop, or we both could die.

Insane temperatures these days!

Internet in the Motorhome - videos.trom.tf/w/oW4QquRwLcEzh…

What happens if you are like me who needs a reliable 24/7 internet connection while living in a motorhome? I need to upload and download a lot of data daily, stream, manage servers, etc.. So I need a fast and reliable Internet connection that can work pretty much anywhere.

In this video I compare the satellite internet with a simple 5G Mobile connection to see what works best.

Bluetti VS Custom Power System - videos.trom.tf/w/86uzfqsAHh86C…

This is the final video about our power system. Since we use 2 completely different and independent power systems, I thought we are in an ideal position to compare the two since we always switch between them.

On one hand we have a Bluetti AC180 power unit connected to 260W of solar, on the other we have a custom built power system with 2x100Ah 12V EcoWorthy batteries, a Victron 100/50 MPPT, and a 1000W inverter - all connected to 650W of solar power.

We will compare the specs, the costs, the reliability, upgradability and repairability.

Tokens and Forced Recycling - videos.trom.tf/w/a2JNz5amodPvV…

Some motorhome parking places do things the wrong way. First they force you to use some tokens for their services that you can buy from random shops in the nearby town. But what if those shops are closed? Second they do not provide a mix garbage bin and force you to "recycle" all of your trash. Both bad ideas.

Here is a report about the state of recycling in Spain - (in summary this is not a solution for the waste problem we are facing globally) - web.archive.org/web/2026012117…

We even talk about this in our TROM II documentary - tromsite.com/documentaries/tro…

Water Heater broke so we Reinvented the Shower - videos.trom.tf/w/o7qh8y49JXELg…

When our water heater stopped working we felt like it was a big big deal. Of course not having hot running water is a very uncomfortable situation. But we reinvented our shower to have hot running water. A better system that is 100 times more reliable than the water heater.

Funny enough when we started to make the video about the new solution, our water heater came back from the dead and started working. Even so I, Tio, still prefer our new shower solution that anyone can actually setup in any van probably.

It costs 50 Euros and you need a water pump, a collapsible bucket, and a kettle.

Costs of full-time living in a motorhome in Spain - videos.trom.tf/w/upM7VpUx5Nzjn…

This is how much it costs for 2 people living full-time in a motorhome in Spain. From food, fuel, internet, repairs, everything. In short it is a lot cheaper than renting something in Spain.

We found a simple motorhome trick :) - videos.trom.tf/w/6aCsocxW1Pq38…

Los Yébenes - another random small village where we stayed for 2 or so nights. Nothing eventful, but we discovered this little trick to know when the water tank is full when filling up with water. The weather was still cold and kinda rainy.

Just the normal motorhoming days...we also made a cheesecake - videos.trom.tf/w/fwAQqRhVcE3tc…

La Guardia de Jaén - a nice place to visit. Little village. It was nice, but then one night there was a party nearby and we decided to leave the next day. Luckily we found a nice motorhome parking in a foresty place. We made a cheesecake and had a nice time.

Capturing the core of the Milky Way for the first time! With a phone. - videos.trom.tf/w/h4sbDdKroLKuo…

We let the phone capture the night sky for 8 hours straight and managed to capture the Milky Way for the first time ever!

We also sealed all of our motorhome to protect from water infiltration, and overall spent some 5 amazing nights in this beautiful place, Castillo de Setefilla!

The best paid parking? And can we get out? - videos.trom.tf/w/vewyoFQd9VmYM…

Fuente Del Arco was a surprisingly good paid parking. Just 6 euros for parking, water, and electricity. But when we tried to get out we realized that the only way out was uphill and near a big hole that was not there when we parked. It was really difficult to get the motorhome out of there... But we really liked that place in terms of motorhome parking.

We found an open Zoo in the middle of nowhere - videos.trom.tf/w/qxr8J6LgSJG56…

Japanese chickens, emus, exotic birds, llamas, dear...we came across this weird zoo-like place. We still do not know why it was there and what's up with it. Perhaps to showcase people these exotic animals. But is it ok to keep them there in a closed space?

On the other hand I, Tio, recognize the irony in the fact that I buy meat and put in the freezer. These are dead animals. But I have severe digestive issues and I can only eat a few things. Meat is one of them unfortunately. I wish this was not the case.

But well, it was an interesting and in a way weird experience for us to see this "zoo". We spent a night there.

Getting stuck in the most beautiful place - videos.trom.tf/w/bxTbZkK2TYaUY…

Masatrigo looks like a volcano, but it is just a beautifully shaped hill with a roundabout around it. It looks so cool from afar, and the entire area is actually super beautiful. But it has been raining in Spain for many weeks and the soil/grass was very wet. We parked in a not so very steep place, but it was enough to get us totally stuck.

Luckily a very nice old man came to our rescue.

Trapped in a storm for many days videos.trom.tf/w/jwu1LtBABCHGW…

Several storms hit Spain for almost a month. Raining, clouds, cold and wind. We decided to go to a motorhome parking in Alcaracejos and stay there for several days to wait for the storm to calm down. We put a lot of strain on our batteries and our patience 😄.

This was a creepy place - videos.trom.tf/w/2pDZA7QkdP7QN…

We ended up in a place that was used for cultish rituals (aka: religion). Tens of big trash bins, lots and lots of garbage, fire pits...and signs about "virgins". Except that, the place was quiet and still ok 😃.

We spent 4 days in this spot and found a micromonster - videos.trom.tf/w/hww8YgbSA9mHL…

Cirat was such a wonderful place to be in. Close to the mountains and having access to all facilities we needed, made us stay there for 4 days. We just did not want to leave....

Motorhome DONE (7): How do we pee and poo :) - videos.trom.tf/w/xf3AF8RhmUzSA…

Ok so this can be a challenge in a motorhome but we think we found a good way to deal with the toilet situation. We are using a "dry" cheap toilet and so far so great!

Motorhome DONE (6): Our Shower is Amazing - videos.trom.tf/w/5o9oK6hvPKBRs…

You know, to be able to take a hot shower in a 5.5 meters long home, is quite something. And to have the comfort to do it in a way that feels like just a normal house. For us it was very important to get a motorhome that has a proper bathroom. But we had to also fix a bunch of things with this bathroom...

Motorhome DONE (4): Our Big Closet and Big Bed :) - videos.trom.tf/w/euQtYUdu57etP…

We do not have many clothes and stuff, but this tiny motorhome has a lot of storage space so we could fit more than we thought. We also love our top bed - spacious and does not take any space from the living area. 😃
