Keeping the motorhome powered in winter isn't easy but in this video, I put my Juicy Brucey cable to the test, charging my entire setup at a Tesco car park—without paying a penny!
⭐️⭐️ My NEW BOOK - How to Wild Camp in a Motorhome: The No-Knock Guide! - urbanhq.co/book ⭐️⭐️
For the past week and a half, I’ve been bouncing between pub stops, meeting friends, and being social. But now, I’m running on fumes—23% battery left, no solar this time of year, and only getting about 50 amps per hour when driving. Time to find a charging spot!
I pull up at a Tesco car park, hook up the Juicy Brucey, and settle in for a night of charging. But here’s where things get interesting—after six hours of power, I check my app, and the charge was completely FREE. No fees for parking, no payment for electricity… just a full battery and a warm motorhome!
If you’re a full-time van lifer or love wild camping, this is a game-changer. Watch to see how I did it and why the right charging cable matters.
