Great vlog and thank you for the very useful tips. I’ve just changed over our summer bedding to our cozy fleece bedding too and put the carpets back down for the winter - can’t wait to get on the road again now
Another great blog from you both and I will agree with you on the Alde central heating eating the gas, I have used 2 gas bottles up not realising I left the gas on at the control panel. Well hope you have a great trip over to Europe and I will be waiting for this blog. Take care and stay safe
Ive got a jump starter, mine doesn't have an air compressor, but it's brilliant jump starting ive done my car and the van when the battery went flat while the house was being repaired and i couldn't get to it for a while. Great video, i love Robs shovel 😂😂❤
We bought outside window screens to replace the internal ones but we reverted back to the internal ones, particularly in high winds as they flap, making noise and keeping you awake. They also get soaking wet, which is very inconvenient and they damage the paint in high winds also because grit gets under the screens in the wind and makes the exterior screens into a sanding block, particularly on pitches near the beach. If you have a diesel heater with a thermostat, the van is perceptively just as warm with the internal covers anyway and you don't have to go out into inclement weather to fit or remove them. On charging the ecoflow through the cigar lighter, it is better to limit the charge current from the alternator, to suit the vehicle's fused current limit, which can be surpassed, if the ecoflow is set to charge at too high a current.
Hi , we have never had a issue with the screen cover flapping about they have Velcro tie downs on them also it has done absolutely nothing to our paint work in 4 years of using it anyway everyone to their own as they say, regarding the alternator charger it it’s way more efficient than just plugging it into a cigarette charger, we can control exactly what power goes into it we can’t praise it enough amazing bit of kit, anyway thanks for your comment we hope you enjoyed the vlog 👍
Many thanks for the vlog, lovely reminders of things to have during the winter months, especially liked the slip mats, will try and get a bread basket thingy😊

Hi Paul, we are all good thank you hope you are too, Glad you enjoyed the video, Hmmm I’m still not sure about the shovel😂😂 Definitely need to get my beloved orange top out again soon Take care ☺️☺️
Hi Just watched your essential guide for winter, great ideas, ours are, as much fuel as possible full gas tanks, fridge full of beer and enough food for a few days and once we start getting low on beer then we think about getting out of where we are stuck 😂🍺🍺
I've got the Milenco grip mats and they've saved me a dozen times. I tried the bread trays before but they've got very limited grip on the grass and flew out very easily.
Hi Rob and Lynn a great video as ever and some great suggestions of items to have for the winter I would say all of them would be essential Would it also be worth adding warning triangles etc for Europe tours? And also things like antifreeze boots winter coats etc And you can’t whack having Lynns favourite top in the van as it’s ideal in winter 😂😂 All the best to you both
Hi Daniel we have got the triangles but forgot to mention them 🤷♂️ lynns too will not be going in the van if I had my way 😂😂 thanks for your comment 👍
Hi guys many thanks for the tips, which mostly served as useful reminders. I have been looking for a new compressor for the tyres so your recommendation of the Akito was very useful and I will be following this up with an order !
Hello again people, The jump starter and compressor would it have enough power to inflate my motorhome tyres, thanks for the information and fantastic entertainment again. Cheers Anthony
Some great reminders for winter use of motorhome. Had a broken front window and you do loss the sticker. The replacement of rear view mirror was simply done by the fitter. Small crack and by the end of day three had traveled up the window but was ok to drive as window is laminated. Ended up putting some super glue along the crack just in case. was in Spain at the time.
Thank you, and, thank you for that information it’s very helpful, Robert is going to put some super glue on it tomorrow to help before we get it done and I will order another crit air sticker Thank you again
Hi Guy's, Great winter tips, especially the bedding 🥶. Tried to get a diesel heater fitted but the salesman said you plo**er you've got a caravan 😂. Our only winter essential is a hook up cable as we don't go off grid 😊. Hope Lynn is feeling better and Rob's hair is fine by me 👍. Take care and stay safe as always. Paul and Joanne 👍 ♥️
@@Meggy6571 🙈🙈🙈 I just said to Robert, you can have one fitted on a caravan can’t you 😂😂, he said where are you going to get the diesel from, so I’m a plonker too 😂😂😂 Aww you need to it’s a great life off grid, in ok now I think it was just a sniffle, his hair is too short, now he’s moaning his head is too cold 😂😂 Take care both x
Great tips, the refillable gas bottles are a must, as yiu know we don't get to travel much but I would say it's already paid off, especially as gas here is £1.29 per litre, was 99p a few weeks ago. We may get one more trip in this year 🤞
@@thetravellingwhibleys9870 hey Chris,thank you, without a doubt refillable bottles are the way to go, they soon bring the money back on what you save. Hope to see you all again soon
Hi Rob and Lynn, this was extremely informative. Thank you! I don't have a motorhome but my friends have one, so I will let them know. I'm thinking of getting a power bank as we often get powercuts. Nice to see you both having a giggle together. Rob made me belly-laugh with his Winter Essential Seagull 🤣😂👍. Take care both xx
Hi Emily, glad you enjoyed it, and thank you for passing it on, we really appreciate it, power banks are so useful, especially if you are prone to power cuts, Glad we made you laugh Take care xx
Rob, check the length of the cables on your jump starter, we have a very similar model, when I went to us it on our Autosleeper I found that the earth point was in the centre of the engine compartment and live was some distance away by the near side wing and the cables weren’t long enough to reach both points. Yours may be different but it’s worth checking before you need to use it to jumpstart.
What a great advice 👍🏼 I'm loving the teddy bear covers ❤ the gas bottles are a must have, the 7kg gas bottles cost me last time was £46 so yes definitely need to change my gas bottle 😞 its cost so much ro go away in winter, i have the Truman in my caravan but im dumb & can only get it working on gas 😮😢 i need lessons on caravaning 😂 awesome vlog my two lovelies 🌹❣️🔥🥂xx
Morning, wow that’s expensive 😮 You honestly need to look into safefill, o know the initial outlay is a lot but it will save you money on the long run I’m sure unless you are on hook up it will only run on gas 🤷🏼♀️ Take care xx
good night Lynn and Rob and Marise i love watching your youtube videos on your you tube channel i hope that you are all well and enjoying your adventers in your motor home i put my warm warm pillow cases and duet set on and for christmas i have warm reindeers pillow cases and duet set please keep safe and warm and please keep up your good work up on your you tube channel thanks for a lovely you tube video eplaining what you might need for the winter cheres both of you rob you make me laught and Lynn makes me smile

After having slip mats and discovering how useless they are and talking to people who have been rallying over 20 years, I use bread crates and they are excellent. I put them under the back wheels aswell which stops the rear tyres sinking in. I have an unlimited supply of bread crates if you're ever passing Preston or if you're stuck for some I can post?
North staffs do a great rally chester racecourse if you a menber you xam wk into town we have hood memories sadly mobility now unable to go very handy fir chester shopping motorhome great worth a try
@@RobandLynnontour try them if yku member caravan motorhome club recommended join we liked we enjoyed the longer 4 5 days takkues you can go with lots diff centres we just rebewef3 our membership after 43 years although dont think we will be able to use it a lot but will see great people chester brilliant
