What did you do to your van today?

Washed the outside yesterday, including all the muck off the roof, and removed most of the moss that has grown in the awning channel and in the rear 'lid' of the Burstner roof panel, but then the light faded. Overnight we have had a deluge, and the Van roof will be filthy again, and more moss will spring up. Hey ho.

Didn't need the seeds, David; I could have planted next year's hanging baskets with the amount of thick moss that develops over the 'curtain' from which the Bike Rack is suspended, plus the moss that accumulates in the awning rail ... And, of course, having rinsed the Van body off 1 panel at a time, when the moss was ejected, it left black/brown smudges over the areas that I had just cleaned.

On the bright side, the deluge that lasted over 12 hours has now stopped, and the pool of water that always gathers at the base of the roof curve looks perfectly clean. So, if I pull away sharp'ish, then slam on the brakes, my rooftop rinsing pool should wash off any accumulated dust on the body!
