Are you aware of a product called "Natures Botanical"? It is a natural insect repellor that I very highly recomend. comes as spray 125ml, rollon 50ml or cream tubs (50, 100 & 250ml). It works and your taste bud still work after putting it on. :)

Couple of questions. Did you consider a ladder for the roof and was it available to do. Did you consider boss front and rear stability points to replace a jack for van wheels. Could you have got an electric awning for the van
@JourneyUnknown9 күн бұрын
Hey Brett, yes, we have a retractable ladder to get on the caravan roof. We also looked into the boss stabilisers we found they were too expensive. With the electric awning, we thought there was a lot that could go wrong and decided to stick with a manual awning. 👍
@gordonw705710 күн бұрын
Good job…. I would have rolled the awning out a little further meaning the awning barrel wall would be attached at 9 o’clock allowing any rain water to run straight off the roof…..hopefully it will be all good. We enjoy your channel.
