Good video. State of that draw in the van stresses me out. Tools,controllers and cleaning products.. And you said heavy items in cupboards at first which I thought was odd but corrected yourself after 👍🏻

Very informative video. I dont know how many times I have forgotten to lock the front locker before towing and had to stop in a lay-by because I've remembered a mile down the road!! Happy travels xx

Thanks for taking the time to post a comment. I have had the flaps on the side going as not quite whacked them hard enough. A few things each season happen. Soon be away again for more things to go wrong.

Very important to check the wheel nuts as well as checking the tyres. 👍

Good point there Richard. When I was watching video back I notice that the tyres are 2016 so will need to replace them near end of year.

My caravan was sold stating it had no damp or rot and I found under glued carpets and panels it was missing parts of the floor. I have replaced 50 % of the floor now and is now solid and finished. It was easier than I thought.

My issue is stuff falling out of lockers and shelves while driving .Not able to lock locker doors.Any advice

@RollingwithTheRobsons 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the comment. Obviously would be best if you could lock them. We use these inside some lockers to stop when opening them it all coming out. You could use something similar perhaps? amzn.to/3G8rs7V Let me know if that would work for you.

My tip, make sure you have turned the drain tap to the closed position before filling trying to fill the water heater

@RollingwithTheRobsons 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the tip Ste that is a good one. A few times been thinking why has the water rang out already when emptied 40L tank onto pitch.

Like most things first few times are a learning experience, I've turned the water heater on before filling up the boiler and wondered why the site electric kept tripping.

Regarding the fridge and freezer comments - if you are heading off to France as normal for summer hols remember that you are not allowed to carry meat and dairy products as well as fresh fruit and vegtables into Europe (Brexit dividend).

Thanks for the comment there. I didn't mention it as it was just a general rule as opposed to going abroad at present.
