Honestly during our trip some of the things that ended their life on my screen were horrific, so much blood and guts. Lucky enough I had our mud daddy for the dogs in the boot so that sorted it.Final few bits (I hope!) before my euro trip.

Some big body wash wet wipes, and a long handled window squeegee/sponge for the inevitable bug kill count I'll rack up on the van over a couple of thousand miles!
Yeah it's bad enough on a UK summers evening, I imagine they have some big bugs in southern France/Northern Spain!Honestly during our trip some of the things that ended their life on my screen were horrific, so much blood and guts. Lucky enough I had our mud daddy for the dogs in the boot so that sorted it.
I have one of those exact things for getting up to my roof rack, for the windscreen though the long squeegee should be good.
we have had no trouble...had them a long time.Just how strong are these ?
We had one before that i obviously was too fat for
Doorstep and hold a grab handle or just kind of lean onto the door.Tbh half the issue on my van is reaching the upper middle of the windscreen even at 6ft 3in I struggle, and that's nothing to hold on to when stepping on the wheel!
I'll also be taking a spray bottle of ONR diluted as a quick detailer, it's excellent as a window cleaner too so that should be good to shift the bugs. Plus some microfiber towels.
Bucket with a lid. Ours just slides under the bed when it’s down.The portapotti (thetford 165) is y favorite purchase. Very handy to sit on when covered, Extremely handy for my regular number 1's. I ain't ashamed - portapottiboy4life

The utensil roll came today, it's really good quality. The cutlery is all well made, decent handles, the only thing it's missing is a can opener and ladel but I doubt I'd ever need them!The utensil roll looks a really good idea
I have a roof tent and a roof box and still fit under the ones in Le Mans. Still duck as I go under though !!I don't even bother with 2.0/2.1/2.2m barriers, but I did have to check I was below 2.6m with my bag on my roof as there's some underpasses going around Le Mans than have a 2.6m restriction. I'm at 2.4m at most with a full bag on my rack.

Try telling that to the FrenchAnd there's never any road markings until 20ft before that tell you...
I passed my test 23 years ago now... Holy hell.
I still remember my instructor telling me that when you're passing a car on a DC, you wait until they're fully visible in the left mirror, then pull back in - that means you've given enough space and aren't chopping them off. I still use that rule to this day! Funny how stuff sticks with you over the years.
Yeah my big 135l bag on my roof rack is now full with table, chairs, windscreen cover and levelling ramps, it's 35cm tall and my rack takes me to 205cm so 2.4m at very most.I have a roof tent and a roof box and still fit under the ones in Le Mans. Still duck as I go under though !!
