How to make a drink during a motorhome journey

BRILLIANT PEEPS, very amusing, i thought it might be a humerous topic love it, keep it coming, will try another line later

It takes far too long to boil a kettle so we have a flask of hot water.

Interesting comment about gas on the move. We have a built-in LPG tank and the regulator is designed to be used in motion (I think it shuts off if there is an impact), however, Auto-sleepers inhibit operation of the gas system when the engine is on. As soon as you stop, the gas is available and the fridge switches over. I am not sure but I believe A/S consider it unsafe to operate gas whilst moving.

What part of Devon are you from 'Peeps'?

 Just to widen the subject to include caravanners, when I'm driving on a reasonably straight stretch of motorway, I attach an abseiling rope to Mr ValDa, then I stop on the hard shoulder,  and send him into the caravan to put the kettle on and ring me when it's boiled.

If he manages without the kettle falling off the hob, the mugs smashing when they fall off the worktop, the coffee falling out of the overhead locker on a bend, and the fridge emptying the contents all over the caravan floor, then I get a decent brew when he rings me to pull over on to the hard shoulder and he brings the mugs back in.

If he fails to complete the task then we buy a coffee at the next service stop.

I refuse to make the coffee, as I don't want to be stereotyped!

PS  Tongue firmly in cheek!

Of course we ex-yachties are used to brewing up whilst pitching around at angles up to 30 degrees.

Gimbals!

Quit so, CY. Many's the brew I've made during 20+ years as navigator on offshore races. The secret is a 'bum-strap' at the cooker and wedging the mugs in the sink when filling them.

Upon reflection I find it hard to believe that I used to enjoy it.

I set the cruise control then go in the back to a make a brew.

 

Its not that far away either. Can't wait to hook the van up to one of these https://youtu.be/9zZ2h2MRCe0

You mean it doesn't do it for you?

On a similar topic, we got stuck in an extremely slow moving queue on the M25 last year. Suffice to say that I was driving with legs crossed. This was with the caravan so now with the MH I think I might be tempted to wander down the back of the van to the loo with OH keeping place in the queue. It's probably illegal like most good ideas.
