5 Useful Caravan Tips 

I am watching and I'm not convinced about the 5 a day sweetie excuse 😂Does it apply to the grapes in wine I wonder? It's always sunny wherever you are, we are now in Cornwall where we haven't had the awful oppressive heat of the last few days. Good tips as usual.

Good tips and we’ve been caravans for many many years especially the mirror thanks both stay safe

I’m a new scriber we have a camper van thank you for shareing your tips I will go and check out some more of your videos .

arrived home today from Croatia and after 3 years of camping experiences, gained such knowledge that we didn't drive straight home but first passed our local caravan dealer and because we are quite impulsive, immediately exchanged the caravan for a new 😅 .... Nice videos who helped us to think about how we think about camping / our travels / etcetera

Thanks for great information and useful tips. Talking of towels, we always found it difficult to get towels dry too because we do like big fluffy ones, however when we last visited the NEC we made several visits to the microfibre towel stand, we were very impressed with the product and the information from the seller. We walked away because of the cost, we went back and purchased two and we are extremely pleased, they are very efficient at drying and most of all dry in no time. We no longer have thick damp towels hanging around. They also take up much less room than a standard towel. So for the £20 each we are very pleased with our purchase. They come in lovely colours so we can identify his & hers. Looking forward to your next Vlog Lozzie

Nice to see well explained suggestions for many things that us men don't think about

Hi guys I’m loving. The content , great tips and tricks ......I’ve been upgrading the van ( as you do )......The spot light upgrade ..........with usbs .... Great little lights .....but what a pain to twist them on !!!!!!! Anyone else had this issue ......but once on on , very good indeed ..thanks again .

Great video as always guys with some useful tips! Thanks for sharing 👍🏻

Another great vlog, some good tips there Michele, as you know we always look forward to Fridays watching your latest uploads, whilst sat in the van, keep up the good work 👍

Excellent video and tips. Keep the great videos coming. Brilliant work guys! 👍👌

Another great video! Thanks for the tips, keep them coming 😁👍🏻

Flocked hangers ☺️

We have two aqua rolls, I have a small submersible 12 volt pump that is placed in the spare roll with the discharge hose placed into the main feed roll, with a switch is in the van. If we use water for a shower etc I just flick the switch and I transfer water into the main feed roll without having to go outside. This gives you twice the capacity without leaving the van.

Great tips, thanks. The mirror is fab, bought it after seeing it on your previous vlog..👍😊

Keith Michele. Great tips and will be sewing tags on my towels now. I use elastic bands over the clips for our GLASS wine glasses to stop them falling of in transit when towing !!! Nick.

Hi both useful information thanks for sharing.Have a good weekend

thanks for spreading our top tip for today it really works well x

Hi Both, just loving your videos, so down to earth good tips... We swapped to using microfiber towels many years back, they are far more absorbent, lighter and dry so much faster. The large ones from Mountain Warehouse even have a loop for hanging already on. on the salt, using rock salt in a grinder avoids salt sticking. Im buying the mirror today, it is brilliant. Keep it coming...

Great tips , here are a few of mine in my 35 years of touring caravans , I am currently on number 11 , liquid hand soap , absolutely perfect for cleaning sinks in the caravan especially good for plastic ones and also your chemical toilet , never use abrasives , also great for shining up your silver/gold jewellery , the tiny little rubber bands around a bunch of spring onions , use 2 of these as replacement washers when your water pump gives up and save yourself £54 buying a new one , to also prevent clothes falling off hangers whilst traveling , buy large round curtain rings , the ones with a smaller ring attached at the bottom where the hook usually goes through , take off the wardrobe rail , and place the large round curtain rings on the rail , refit the wardrobe rail and then put your hangers through the small ring at the bottom , stops all those lovely clothes falling off in a pile at the bottom of the wardrobe at your journies end !! Use zip close plastic freezer / food bags when you open biscuits or buns , saves carrying boxes /tins etc., and lastly keep a small sealed container of water in the washroom just in case the toilet flush is empty during the night ! Hope my tips prove helpful to everyone and in the meantime Happy Caravanning and Good Health to enjoy our brilliant hobby !!

Who's Jill? 🤣 Amazing video as always :)

Thanks again Keith & especially Michele, some great tips and tricks! Particularly like the pipe insulation on the hanger rail! We have been thinking about extra hooks around the 'van as there never seem to be enough in any of them. I think I would prefer the sucky type though, similar to that on your handy 10x mirror (which we managed to purchase after you first showed us it - Jill loves it, so thank you!). Cheers, Rog... 👍🏻 🐍

Nice tips Michelle especially the rice in the salt and the towel loops I have some microfiber full size towels dry you off well and dry in minutes about 5 pounds from Ammazon. Thanks for taking the time to make the video Ps You have beautiful finger nails

Some good ideas well done on the towel front we use microfiber ones they are light weight and dry very quickly

Even as motorhomers these are extremely good tips, well done.

We've put up a stainless steel wire between our awning struts as a clothes line. Quiet a popular mod in Australia. Also, I've put expanding rods in the bathroom and above the door to hang towels or jackets on hangers to dry or air out after getting smokey around the fire. They are very cheap from those generic $2 shops etc.

My husband and I both use Sports Shammy towels. They take some getting used to but you can wash them out they dry very quickly. Used the same towel for years.

In relation to the hangers, if you use the ring pull from a can of pop you can double up your hanger space. Cheers Matt

Thanks for response, maybe that's a topic you could ask your viewers about as I'm sure lots of people do. I feel without arch cover drafts enter awning from under van. Great magnifying mirror AND Micro fibre towels - I've brought the mirror and ordered towels. Thanks so great to watch 😁

Love the mirror 👍🏻

Hi I use the moisture absorbers in the summer to as the humidity is high I've found they take more out than in the winter but mine does go a long time closed up

If you didn’t have the dehumidifiers a half filled bowl of ordinary table salt will absorb loads of water from the air! We always done that when we had our static caravan years ago! Just make sure you check them from time to time incase they overflow but just even place them in the sinks! Also cut the tops off match sticks and put the wooden bit in with your salt, again something that I always seen from years ago! Showing my age now!!! 😉

Hi you two, enjoying your tips remind me of hubby and me. Do you have any tips on the wheel arch cover. I made my own with eyelets and suction caps but wasn’t very successful. Any advice would be appreciated

Hi Keith and Michele always lovely to see you guys hope u both well and having fun caravaning fab tips to take on board aswell I hav a tip for u which I been doing for two years now is in the winter when not using van I get 3 to 4 washing up bowls and fill them up half way with cheap table salt and place them round the van and they help to adorb moister from van over the winter u will know if it works as the salt will go rock hard the all u need to do at the end of winter is bang the bowl up side down for it to fall out and wipe clean ready for next winter works really well can I ask when u drain down your water from van after use and put it bak in storage do u leave your drain down valve open when left in storage as I don't know what to do for the best cheers kev

Good day All the way from South AFRICA. Have you change the mirror in the bathroom? We bougth the same Swift as your current one but the mirror has no light In SA they call it the swift Challenger “Coastline de Lux” You channel is very informative. We are old campers that is camping for many years but the caravaans in SA is very different from yours in UK. Lucky for us a caravaan dealer has imported Swift into SA Thanx a million.

Thank you Keith and Michelle for another great vidéo. I'm going to buy the mirror for my caravan 👏 do you leave it on the mirror while your driving ?

I love the dried banana chips too... but they are full of sugar.

Have you tried microfibre towels? They are lighter, are more efficient at drying your body and dry much quicker. We really like the little mirror, very posh 😉 Great video. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻 Trev n Sue

Thanks

Hi thanks for the video. Where did you purchase the pack of four dehumidifies from? Hope your enjoying the mini heatwave.

Just watch your clip about tips around the caravan. Using an elastic band around open packets to keep them closed, good idea. But why don't you use a clothes peg to close the packet instead, that way you've got two uses for clothes pegs.

Can you please tell me in your opinion what's the best TV for a small caravan

How many clothes do you actually hang? I’m thinking of getting rid of the hanging and doing all shelves

I think using air dryers is not a good idea. The caravan has a number of ventilation openings which go out into the open and which cannot be closed. Then you just suck in moisture from the outside into the caravan. We leave a number of windows slightly open, and all cabinets and drawers open. Then the humidity levels becomes the same outside as inside. And we don't have to put rice in our salt to keep it dry. We live in Denmark, and there probably just as humid as in the UK. Sincerely, Lene & Michael On Tour

So there are some USA u tube video on caravan in the snow below -20 tips like heat power waste water pies and water if any one has the same issue skit around the base of the van to stop air flow under the van and place a small light in the refrigerator in let for air. Any one with other tips please contact me

Hi, so here’s a request for you based on our first trip on a fully serviced hard pitch. We stayed at Troutbeck Head in the Lake District, a great site in a fabulous location. However I had real difficulty in getting my pegs into the ground. I used what I consider to be good quality screw in pegs with a good quality 18V drill, but after clearing the top surface of the “loose stuff” I still couldn’t get a number of pegs into the ground. The peg seems to hit a substantial stone, then corkscrews opening up the hole until the point there’s no purchase left. The area can then not take another peg as the ground has been disturbed. Do you have a proven method? Like the rest of the country we had thunderstorms and heavy rain, but unfortunately for our neighbour on Thursday night we had about 1 minute of exceptionally very strong wind, we only had the windows open on the latch, so about 10mmm of gap. The wind was so strong it blew the hailstones inside the caravan, and ripped the pegs out of my neighbours 4 meter air awning flipping it onto the roof and partially over the other side. He had storm straps fitted, but his rock pegs weren’t threaded, so maybe not so robust. So you can probably see why were asking the question. Cheers from John & Al.

10:41 ‘If your a gentleman for when you’re shaving’...... shock horror Michele, don’t you realise that we now live in the snowflake world, and the female gender may get upset by that comment. I mean, my wife shaves more than I do for instance. 😂
