What did you do to your van today?

[andyjanet]

Removed sliding door side window because the rain pisses in , sat down shocked as to how little sealer had been used, after I recovered!
Resealed and refitted the window , coffee now more insulating this afternoon

after our experience in april at dieppe we arrived early good job we did paperwork quick & easy but the Douane were immediately next to the barrier so everyone has to wait for the vehicle in front to clear , they were really thorough not looking for contraband but never been searched this well before they made me empty a 10 litre jerrycan i got about 5 litres in mine then had to go asking if anyone wanted the rest how easy is it to give away free diesel , hard ! on the personal search i have a small gardening penknife with a hooked blade not allowed on my person but passed inside the van to jan OK ? after we loaded they were waiting again on the top deck to search bags think they are being proactive for some reason ,

We were given a thorough search coming back in July at the Tunnel, One inside the van another in the garage, I was expecting some questions about the two 20 ltr beer kegs and co2 setup but nothing mentioned.

We had the bag seach at Dieppe on 13th September at Reception on Deck 6 after the vehicle search prior to borading, so seems to be a new 'thoroughness' about the checking ...

If I am going away on a world cruise I jack mine up and remove the wheels.


Getting back to reality I had better get back inside / underneath it and continue with the long list of jobs-that-need-doing-otherwise-no-one-would-want-to-nick-it.

When laying ours up for the winter that’s if we’re not using it .
Then it will be lifted with the new legs we had fitted this year
As for removing wheels were in a gold storage site.
Safe and never given it a thought while in storage
