    Grab a can of winter window washer fluid (eg -36C proof) which has alcohol in it. You can pour it into yout sink and gray water thank to keep them from freezing. (Also put that stuff in your washer fluid tank of course) 👋🏻🇫🇮

      Unfortunately it’s the pipes freezing underneath the van so it’s not somewhere that the washer fluid could sit

      @@Adz True, the fluid only works if you have trouble with the holding tank or valves which are under water ie in contact with the fluid. Safe travels, mate!

    The reason why the hgv beept was because you indicated that you were turning off bit last minute. Hgv's are doing 90km on the snow and need time to slow down if you turn. The can't slam the brakes on like on a dry road. ( I'm a European hgv driver myself)

    If you get an usb mug warmer or similar, a cigarette lighter would be brilliant and run it to where your sink runs out, the warmer air should clear the sink, then just don't let it be filled, actually it's probably only blocked at the exit if you don't have an S bend.

Therefore I could never screw anything into a tyre, not sure if I would choose to change the tyres to snow tyres or learn to use chains. As an Australian as far as I’m concerned snow is for skiing not driving. LOL. I’ve just found your channel and I’m loving your artic adventure. 😊
