    A Cable Long Enough to Get Around ICEing

    I've always been going on aliexpress for cable caddy bags, but this is a good shout! :)

    A Cable Long Enough to Get Around ICEing

    I mean arctic is really too flimsy for these applications, hence the H07RN-F, but I do like the picture of the unruly cable being like training a snake haha!

    A Cable Long Enough to Get Around ICEing

    Using one of these cable carry bags was my initial idea, actually... but the problem is the moment you take the cable out it starts to have a mind of its own! 😭

    A Cable Long Enough to Get Around ICEing

    shhhhhhhhh I might! Will mean I can charge on at least 75% of my street, once you include granny charger options (I have 2x 30m Masterplug reels of 1.25mm arctic flex from Costco, which while not ideal, do the job at 10 amps).

    that's a potentially good shout! I would think the caravan CEE connectors are a bit smaller than Type 2 EV Plugs, but this might work. Only question is if you are rating the sizing based on 3 core arctic flex... as 4 core H07RN-F is a good bit thicker...
