I have Remis blinds and find they are only real good for when I put my van in the storage yard to keep the sunlight out. I use a TaylorMade screen cover (worth every penny) whenever I'm in the van and don't bother with the Remis blinds. Absolutely agree 100% about using the campsite facilities wherever possible. For anti-rattle, I bought a roll of plastic drawer liner from IKEA cut it to size and sandwich it between my plates cups etc. Totally with you on the winter storage, no point spending money on those useless dehumidifiers, save it and buy camping beer.
Oh yes… camping beer. We will look out for the IKEA draw liners. Our cover is TaylorMade and very happy with it too. Thanks for watching and your comment.
Very informative. Thank you for your time .
Thanks for watching and for the feedback.
Seasons greetings Paul, I'd like to add that if like us you store the van near a field then a mouse repellent spray is a good idea as we decided to go away to moreton in marsh the day before it snowed and found 2 mouse nests and when we arrived on site I couldn't work out why I couldn't fill the fresh water until I saw it pouring out from the pipework a mouse had eaten. Prevention better than cure! Also, remember to remove toilet rolls and pot noodles!!!
Thanks. That is always a concern for me too and we need to cover that in a future video. Are there any specific products/items you have used that you would recommend? The toilet rolls (such a valuable commodity in 2020) and pot noodles is a good suggestion too as we don’t want to roll out the welcome mat for them all. Merry Christmas to you and your family and all the best for 2023.
I really like the dry humour and information..... but "At the end of the day" is repeated too many times, which makes me laugh and then I have to rewind to listen properly, but "at the end of the day" is then repeated and I laugh... around and around it goes. Keep up the good work. 😀
Thanks. Yes I don’t notice… until I am editing the video. Thanks for watching the video and your support. At the end of the day… 😁
Great to see the Brummy humour again. All the best to you and yours for Christmas and the new year.
That’s the only humour I know 😁 Merry Christmas to you and your family and all the best for 2023.
Following one of your previous videos I purchased a TaylorMade screen cover what a superb quality product it is brilliant and worth every penny. One tip from me - make sure you put the the cover bag back in your van asap to avoid it from blowing away - I didn't.
Thanks. Always like to read great tips… but not at the expense of someone making a mistake. Yes, it is easy to do. All the best with your van and thanks for your comment.
Have a lovely Christmas and a merry new year. Take care Gill
We wish you a Merry Christmas Gill and all the best for 2023.
Very informative , liking your videos !
Thanks for watching and your feedback 👍
Hi. I am a new follower to your channel and collecting our 2020 T590 next week. Can't wait. Just a quick question, do you have a link to the correct winter fridge vents. TIA Dan
Our vent covers were for vent size 257x432. There were 3 different sizes that might have been fitted.
We used Nick at Brownhills Motorhomes. If you give him a call and quote your measurements he can probably help.

Hi love your videos. Really easy to understand. I have just perchased a 2021 T590. do you have videos on how to use the pcb to use all water heating etc etc. Stuggling with this as an old foggie lol.
We have a video for the Truma CP Plus control panel. All the best with your new memory maker.

Great video, good information. Not purchased a van yet still looking into it.
Thanks for watching and your support. All the best choosing your memory maker.
Happy Christmas to you and your family. A big thanks for the videos, great help. Fiat Ducato motorhome, water pump rumbling about ever 3 mins. Any ideas? Done the usual running of the taps for trapped air to no avail.
The Mrs is now doing a lot of rumbling! 👍
Thanks. That’s really appreciated. Typically a water pump will only trigger (unless it’s faulty) when there is a drop in pressure. That can unfortunately sometimes mean a slight leak somewhere. When we leave the van for the day and are sleeping in it overnight we turn the water off just to help preserve and remove risk of a leak when either out or asleep. Merry Christmas to you and your family too. I am unable to assist with how to stop the Mrs rumbling 😁
@@LiveforTravel Top man! Have a good one. All sorted, tidy leak caught in time.
Excellent. Glad you found it. Vans don’t do well with leaks. 👍
Just noticed you had cover over your steering wheel before you put the steering wheel lock on does it come with the cover??? Or is that somthing I need to add to my massive list of things to buy 😂😂brilliant as always Paul these are very helpful tips 👍🏽👍🏽
I use the “Small” Disklok as it fits nicely but I recommend buying a wheel “sock” as it protects the steering wheel. Many buy the medium but for our van it’s a little big and risks some “numpty” sticking a bar behind it and leveraging it off.
That's mad, I've just received my cover two days ago. Does the job
Windscreen cover or a van cover? If a van cover, mad because you have just purchased one or mad because you disagree?
Just the outside thermal cab cover goin over the windows. Mad cos you just mentioned it 😉 Happy Christmas to you and your family 🎄 🤶
A good choice 😁 thanks and Merry Christmas to you and your family. All the best for 2023. Happy travels. 😁
