Rip John thanks for the tips

It's amazing how much further ahead our caravans are too the US travel Trailers, we use more Aluminium and we still have alot of front windows. Alot of American ones except the more expensive ones still use timber frames and fiberglass skins that tend to leak alot from some of the older ones I've seen on youtube. Alot of out older ones peobably do too but this chap doesn't go on as much about the severity of leakage so I can only assume it's not as big and issue on most caravans as it is on say Campervans or motorhomes but if I'm totally wrong here somebody please correct me. Our caravans look more cuvy than the flatter US ones made by Jayco, Forest River and so on. I can't see the seals as obviously and being tapered that probably helps in creating a less angled edge for the seals though I'd suspect these still have conventional rubber or vinyl type seals Cheers

Where can I get this ladder? Best Regards, Ray

[@stevenbourne1417]

Henry Cooper hi have you managed to get a ladder as there is one on Wowcher for £49 reduced from 199. there may be cheaper ones too at say machine mart. the one in the video looks like a telescopic ladder so certainly shop around and check Amazon too but check Wowcher as above as well. hope that helps.

Henry Cooper He normally keeps it in his garage. Just lift up the door and grab it when he's not looking 😂

I leave an electric dehumidifier in the van amazing how much water is sucked up over the winter months

[@allanjeffrey8363]

Some great points , explained .

[@nabarnes]

1:30 - Why on earth would you leave your van stationary for "five to six months"? I may be missing something, but what's the point of having a caravan if you don't use it? "What's the solution?" - Use the caravan.

[@edwardcharles9764]

Nicholas Barnes much the same as having a 4x4 but you never off road! Some people can't get enough time off to use any more than that.
