Having intruders when living vanlife is the last thing that you want, whether this be two legged or four. This week we are trying to prevent little critters like mice and also SNAKES from entering our van. I saw one during the week that was quite close and it made me nervous.

I hate to tell you this but mice will come in when you have the door open!! I have caught three in my van in the last month (RU-vid video coming soon) and the most recent one I just had the trap set on the step with the door open while I was having a nap. Nek minnit... mouse in trap. Buggered if I know how they get up there, I think they climb up the wheels.

Thank you Sue 🙏😊yes mouse invasion is an inevitable part of vanlife and especially in Australia with the Van open all the time , and yes those mice can jump real high 🤦‍♂️

@@SandVan I wonder if having Pablo in there would deter them from coming in though? I also had a HUGE huntsman this time Nigel was away. The perils of bush camping!

Not only does sealing up pipes etc keep the nasties out but also reduces the cold air getting in, when you are doing everything to keep warm.

May I suggest. Mount exterior lights that can be activated from inside at the tough of a switch. Second create a tape of a VERY ANGRY dog that can be played at the touch of a button. Hoons and other creeps rely on darkness and fear. Provide LIGHT and an angry DOG will put the fear IN THEM.
@SandVan

Thank you😊🙏great tips indeed we do have switchable out side lights do that very reason , but the big angry dog recording sounds good as we only have a small angry dog that has minimal fear impact 🐕😂😂

Sandy looks so cute in her cute little runabout ❤ Guys I simply detest mice! Here in America mice can carry Hantivirus which can kill humans if they contract it! Of course no matter where in the world they carry diseases and can cost thousands in damages not to mention fires! Snakes follow the mice in so that's another ball of string! Tim there are some of us that understand your electrician jargon to some degree. lol So enjoy watching you three 😊 Stay safe and GOD bless

My 1997 Ford E350 one ton van is pretty much impossible to break into without taking out a window. I know this because I locked myself out once and tried everything to get back in without a key to no avail. I finally had to throw a big rock through the passenger side window to get in. LOL.... I imagine that someone who can pick locks could get in pretty easy though so those locks you have would work great.
@SandVan
@SandVan 4 месяца назад
Thank you 😊🙏wow that sounds like a trying time , I hope we don’t lose the keys to the deadlocks that’ll be a nightmare to sort out 🤦‍♂️

The worst part was that I just got out of the van to pee at midnight and there was no moon and I was 14 miles from anywhere and in my underwear. I had to crawl around on the ground to find a rock big enough to break the window. LOL Geeesh. @@SandVan

New subscribers here, from NZ. (Well we are both from Liverpool UK. but Christchurch has been our home for the last 8 years). We have a 2018 Sprinter and we absolutely love what you have done with yours. Currently changing ours bit by bit until we get it just right. Then we will probably change it again just to make sure! We both love your channel, been binge watching it over the last couple of days. Keep doing what you are doing. If you ever return to Chrischurch we can suggest so many things you can do such as.....err and um...and...Well we can think of something!

Hi Sandy, Tim and Pablo I cannot picture how Tim's brain works...so creative and I take hat off for his willingness to make changes eagerly 3:35 You just make it right whether it is a little fix or major fix that seems time-consuming labor work. I thought K7S has patience, but YOU are. Well said!!! Tim as a builder. How professional work it is! hahah Sandy means to YOU? Sh e is a sunshine to YOU, a cheergirl to YOU. hahahah You, Tim you smile at the cam, but I can read your mind by looking at your eyes as Sandy speaks....hhahha 18:04 Oh boy, before dropping comment, here it is new vid...hahah so sorry I was sick, could not keep food down and so was K7S after. Oh, Sandy you are good at listing haha 21:03 wowowo You are heading for JP? not with caravan though..hahha Look forward to it. My guests will be happy to see that. I recommend your channel to some caravaner, IndaynaMo Vlog ..a couple with Jacks(Au native) haha I am very private, nothing with social media. So let's me think who is next to send my guest over to you hahah.. I hope it is ok with you my guests visiting you.

5.35k subscribers, should be 5 times that with the excellent content. Only 854 views and 77 likes! Folks please watch, comment if a few words and subscribe if you haven't already. Let their playlist or video run while you're cooking, doing housework, etc. Of course watch at least 30 seconds of the commercials, this all helps pay these folks and keeps the video active on that blasted algorithm. Times are hard all over, let's help those we can. GOD bless
