My tent was blown away in the wind and I was inside it, Im taking your advice as I watch each of your episodes, well done sir

Some of these tips are simple but ingenious. Thanks

Paul, Just to be clear. The curved rafters that go under your awning between your van and awning barrel are not another anti-flap set. They are a complimentary item in your whole anti-flap set up. I'd suggest the rafters should be installed first as they ensure that if you get a heavy shower of rain whilst your away from the van that no pooling of rainwater occurs on top of the awning and therefore possibly no damage to your awning. They will also remove most of the flapping by your awning.

All good tip except for the 240 volt lead coiled up and put over the gas bottled, two things you should do, a 240 volt lead when coiled can cause fire and it’s on the gas bottle a definite no no, you should remove that suggestion.

Thanks for the tips. And good to see that kilt worn the right way round😉

On your water hose I use the connectors with the valves in them so no leaks when in the bag 👍

Great tips…thanks

The words you were looking for were cable ties and door mechanism. You can also buy towel rail and towel rail brackets instead of curtain rail brackets for the door.

Good video. However re coiling the power lead around the top of the gas bottle. This is a big no no. When the lead is coil around like that the main problem is it becomes a coil and if you have the Air con on and run the electric hot plate the current draw may cause the lead to heat up. This could get to the stage where it melts the lead. I have seen this happen and being on the gas bottle could cause a major problem, like bang. You don't want someone taking you to court over this advice. The lead excess should be ran back along the caravan back and forth a couple of times this will stop the lead creating a magnetic field and over heating. Just trying to help.

awesome tips

Great video Paul, we don't have much trouble with hard ground here In Wales, UK, but It's great to see how your caravan life is down under I'm prepared now is I ever get a chance to visit Australia and go camping happy camping days mate.

As an electrian your tip for coiling the lead around the gas bottle is not a good idea ,it creates a magnetic field around the gas bottle there for the lead heats up and could cause a fire under hi load situations eg running a air conditioner or hi current loads eg heaters ,microwaves and ovens , maybe talk to an electrician before you put tips on this forum ,other than that it,s a great forum cheers.

they are called bugle screws.that one is for treated pine.can get galvanised also.

Thanks Paul - good practical advice. Re water hose storage, I simply roll it up and join the ends with a hose joiner. Simple, no mess and the hose goes in whatever bag you like (e.g. shopping bag)

Spirit level has been tricky with the tent but I'm trying to get it right

Really enjoying your channel mate.

Some useful tips there Paul, I cannot understand why they cannot make the food grade hose more plyable so its easy to roll up and store

Use some super glue around the Velcro on the brush cup, helps the whole lot stay in place on a hot day 🚁👍👍👍
