Post Your Last Purchase XXVIII

I also chose this color. That white color is so gorgeous, beautiful and stunning. It is outshining all the other colors on Pro line items including natural/grey one. I love bright shiny and stand out color. I finally declined choosing new color this year because any non white silver color makes me bored after 2-3 months and craving white one.

I used to only do white, but haven't done a white one in years. I did the same thing as you, always trying new colors. Pacific blue, purple, the old matte black, etc. It was a hard choice this year because I like all of the Pro colors, but I just felt it was time to go back to white. Next year I'd do the natural titanium if the colors stay the same, just to try something new.

Just pick up the EarPods (USB-C) at the Apple Store.

Got a new travel trailer. It has solar panels and an inverter, plus the hot water heater and cabin heat are both dual propane or electric; and I have an electric vehicle to tow it with 120V "household" outlets available that can output 12A. Thus, with a couple additions, it can be a 100% electric trailer. (Sadly, the inverter only powers one internal outlet, it does not power the hot water heater or cabin heat/AC. But it has ~300W of solar, and a ~1kWh deep cycle AGM battery. More than enough for "when the EV isn't there" maintenance.)

It doesn't have an oven, so an induction cooktop will let me replace the only "propane only" device in it - the cooktop. Cheap small (but not absolute cheapest; a cheap one with decent reviews) induction cooktop with adjustable wattage settings.

And while the air conditioner and hot water/cabin heat system will run "steady state" from the vehicle's 12A outlet, both do have higher "startup load" that trip the vehicle's household outlet breaker. So I got the smallest 14A+ capable power station I could find:

An EcoFlow DELTA Mini - it could only run the AC or cabin heat by itself for about 45 minutes, but all I really care about is buffering that startup load. And it does that great. Plug the trailer into the EcoFlow, plug the EcoFlow into the vehicle's 120V outlet. (The EcoFlow can "boost" to 15A for a short time. I tested, and it's plenty long enough for the startup spike.)

So now I have "100% fossil-fuel-burning-free" camping.

(Edit: For the curious, here's the trailer: A NüCamp T@B 400, 2018 with aftermarket solar)

USB-A to USB-C charge and sync cable at BestBuy.

Apple is sure leaving money on the table. While I was looking around at BestBuy, two other people were also looking for the same item. I asked one of the shoppers and he also got the iPhone 15 and wanted to use it with CarPlay. He said Apple doesn't make this type of cable.

Bought a couple of things this week, Turtle Wax wash and wax 5L for the cars off Amazon, probably won’t be using that for a while though as it’s autumn in the UK so it’ll be raining for weeks now.

Also bought a new down mid layer jacket to replace my 10 year old Rab Microlight. I caught it on a fence last week and ripped a huge hole in the back, feathers everywhere. So to replace it I have bought a Montane featherlite down jacket. Thought I’d try another British manufacturer as we do seem to make very good warm jackets. I did order a Berghaus synthetic down jacket to try, but just wasn’t as warm as actual down, so sent it back.
