CAN I ASK YOU ALL A WEE FAVOUR?

Big Betty Adventures is slowly growing, but getting a wee YouTube channel noticed isn’t easy.

If you’ve been following the Big Betty build here on Facebook, I’d really appreciate it if you could nip over to YouTube and give the channel a wee bit of support.

Subscribe, hit LIKE and, most importantly, leave a comment on the latest video. Even something as simple as telling me what you think of the build helps get some interaction going.

We’re now at Episode 7, the new ceiling and lighting are going in, and Big Betty is starting to look completely different from the old school minibus I started with.

I’m genuinely loving documenting the whole build, the successes, the mistakes and everything I’m learning along the way.

So if you’ve got a few minutes, jump over, watch the latest episode, hit the 👍 and leave me a comment.

Every bit of interaction helps the channel reach more people, and I’d love to see how far we can take Big Betty Adventures. ❤️🚐

Thanks troops!

⚡ CORE™ UPDATE – McEwan’s Micro Campers ⚡

CORE™ = Centralised Off Grid Renewable Energy

A simple idea: one central power system that’s clean, upgradeable, and built around how you actually camp. No gas cooking. No overcomplicated installs. Just usable, scalable pure electric power.

And now there are 3 CORE™ levels:

⚡ CORE™ PRIME

Compact, simple, and perfect for weekend vans.
Runs essentials like lights, USB, fridge, pump, TV, laptops, and light 240V use.
👉 Ideal “all you need” setup for most short trips.

⚡⚡ CORE™ TOURING

The sweet spot for real time away.
Built around ~2kWh (AFERIY P210) with proper 240V capability.
Run induction cooking, kettles, coffee machines, fridge, heating, devices, and more.
👉 Proper off-grid comfort for weekends + touring.

⚡⚡⚡ CORE™ MAXX

Full off-grid capability.
Based around BLUETTI Apex 300 with high-output charging and serious 12V + 240V capacity.
Built for extended wild camping, winter trips, heavy use, and fast recharge on the move.
👉 Maximum freedom.

Optional upgrade: CORE™ Maxx Solux – Maxx + serious solar generation.



🔌 ONE SYSTEM. THREE LEVELS.

Prime → Touring → Maxx
Same CORE™ philosophy, scaled to your lifestyle.

And the best part? It’s modular — your system can grow as your adventures do.

I’ll be building, testing, and actually using all of these on real trips over the coming months.

⚡ Simple power. Serious adventures.

👇 Which would you choose? PRIME, TOURING or MAXX?

🚐 NEW VIDEO JUST DROPPED!

After what felt like endless sanding, filling, sanding again, masking and three full days of painting… Big Betty has finally had the transformation she’s been waiting for!

From an old ex school minibus to a smart grey camper with black Raptor bumpers, skirts and trims, this is easily the biggest visual change in the build so far.

I’d love you to have a watch and let me know what you think of the new look.

👇 Grey or the original green… which do you prefer?

If you enjoy the video, a like, comment and share really helps the channel grow and means a lot to me.
