Last night it was above zero at 4C, and with the bubble wrap on most of the windows, it wasn’t too bad. We still got quite a bit of condensation on the large front window. Obviously more ventilation is required.
We had to go and get a few items, including a new fuse, which sorted out the APRS. Now we should be visible until we knock out the power plug again.
We came across another white e-NV 200. This was being used by a plumber as his work vehicle. An ideal use for an eVan is in a flat city like Christchurch.
After lunch with friends, we juiced up and went out to Lyttleton. The old town is looking a bit battered, but they are soldiering on despite the empty building sites.
Some of the EV charging sites are a little difficult to track down. The one we used was listed as being Z Energy, 40 Moorhouse Ave. There was Z gas station at 72 Moorhouse, and sure enough, around the back was the charging station.
Back at the camp, we were a little more polished in setting up everything for sleeping and for dinner. In about half an hour, we were shipshape and cooking dinner.

Your temperatures reminds me of my camping/shooting days in the Southern Drakensberg mountains. But at least I had a labrador to keep me warm at night. Waking up in the morning with a heavy frost on the canvas tent. Dog didn't seem to mind it and would be in the dam for a swim as soon as I let him out the tent.
ReplyDeleteI think you will now make lots of plans for more camping in your eVan but maybe in the summer.
Still no news on my amp from customs
