💥 WHEN did you last do this??
|
Ok, honesty time. When did you last give your motorhome seals a proper clean? In fact, when did you last even THINK about the seals on your windows, doors, toilet or anywhere else!?! It’s one of those little jobs that’s easy to forget, but can cause no end of trouble if you leave it too long. Even more annoying, it literally takes about 10 minutes. To do the entire vehicle. In this week's video, I’ll show you how I clean the seals on my motorhome, what I use (it's basically water and one product) and some tips to make an easy but important job even easier.
In other news, we're out and about in the motorhome this weekend, which is lovely. Giving it a good run along the A303 to meet my parents, and then meeting friends at a pub which allows motorhome stopovers- always fun. I start to get all my various stitches out next week, which will be a relief: they're all itchy! I hope you're enjoying November so far and the Microsoft chaos didn't affect you too much. Safe travels if you're out and about,
P.S: Black Friday has become less of a day and more of a month. I swear it gets earlier every year! Still, for those of us who like to buy presents in November to make December less expensive, it's a brilliant chance to get things you were going to get anyway a little cheaper. There are plenty of early deals already on: see them here. As always, I'm going to be sharing a Daily Deals roundup email of the best deals I find for motorhoming, road trips, travel, home, garden, pet and gifts. These emails will ONLY go to people who opt in. If you'd like the useful roundup, CLICK HERE |

One of the biggest problems faced by motorhomers and campervanners during winter is finding somewhere to stay. Many campsites close and it can be tough to find the ones which remain open. But don’t let that put you off! The 'off-season' is one of my favourite times to explore — fewer crowds, peaceful spots, and some incredible views all to yourself. You just need to know where to look. I made a video sharing how to find campsites and stopovers that stay open through winter, including: The...
I love Autumn. I love the beautiful colours, the cosy nights with hot chocolate, the warm clothes. Everything is wonderful until... Suddenly IT'S TIME I have no clue how it happens; one day your motorhome is perfectly fine and dandy (if you don't look too closely) and the next it's COVERED with black streaks, dirt, dead leaves and is in desperate need of a good clean. There are two ways to tackle this: 1- Get someone else to do it for you 2- Be brave & do it yourself. Tips for using other...
Happy Fireworks Day! Whether we like it or not, it is most definitely approaching the end of the year and things are starting to turn wintery (at least here in the UK!) That means it’s time to start thinking about cold-weather motorhoming. Broadly speaking, there are four types of people who use their motorhomes in the winter: The ones chasing winter sunshine Others chasing snow and mountain life Those who love a weekend away, whatever the weather And those who live full-time in their...
