Off-Grid Camping Reality Check | Our Caravan Battery Failed

Our relaxing caravan camping trip in the New Forest turned into a real test for our off grid setup! We head to the beautiful, adults-only Longbeech Campsite for a chill "reset camp" to de-stress. We set up our sun canopy, cook some great camping meals (mushrooms on toast and a caravan stir-fry!), and even forage for wild blackberries. But when the rain set in, our off-grid caravan power setup was put to the test... and it FAILED. Lithium battery video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuPMwVcOwQc In this UK caravan vlog, we show you our lovely pitch at Longbeech, what adults-only camping in the New Forest is really like, and the exact moment we realised our caravan battery was FLAT. This one incident has convinced us it's time to upgrade from a lead-acid to a lithium caravan battery. If you're into off-grid caravanning or thinking about a caravan battery upgrade, you need to see this!
