Staying at Wallabadah free camp (which is brilliant by the way) a biblical storm came over. We had our Livng in a Bubble screens still up and they leaked around the door seals. Our fault not theirs. They have since (again my bloody fault) been through belting rain after getting home and not leaked so buggered if I know 😅😅😅 Anyway, point is to check ya new stuff to find it's limitations or maybe just check with the manufacturer 😊😂😂😂 By the way, we love our screens so thanks Sand Van for the recommendation.

@SandVan 5 месяцев назад

Thank you 😊🙏glad you love your new screens 🤩🚐what colour did you get 😊we’ve managed to get our white ones a bit grubby from catching them in the door mechanisms so we’ll so how they wash up in the laundry 🙏😀

@Daventhemermaid 5 месяцев назад

We got black ones. Finding they lower the light coming into the van, and they don't get dirty when we catch them in the doors. 😉😆

@Magnet.M.A.D 6 месяцев назад

G’day guys. Great video as always. It’s nice that you peel back the stereotypical life of living in a van and it having no issues. It’s so useful to just be honest and review things so that there are no misconceptions in the lifestyle. Question. Do you get on each others nerves being in such a small place together every day? I bet you both have your daily jobs and click but things can change I’m sure. Love from Roger & Lindsay in the uk ❤️❤️

@SandVan 5 месяцев назад

Thanks Roger 😊🙏only when it’s really hot and we’re hiding in the AC in the van we get a bit of cabin fever and it can be strained at times but we know to give each other space and it works out fine 🤩🚐we do have our jobs and it keeps us out of each others way in such a small space 🚐🤩

@Dundee. 5 месяцев назад

i and had to stop to comment, bugger the window wiping tool, run a de humidifier because its not only the windows catching moisture it would be everywhere through out the van and mold sucks to deal with. Also any drain to the grey water should have a one way check valve drain installed and you could put the tank where ever you wanted. so both are easy fixes, they can be purchased for little and arent hard to install it will make ya life alot bloody easier. not havin a crack just wanting to help make things a bit easier for ya. havent watched any other vids im not sure if you are running a max air fan or what your ventilations like.

@SandVan 5 месяцев назад

Thank you 😊🙏appreciate the advice 😀we’ve learnt from our mistakes and have plenty of ventilation and have an ac unit installed we only use the window vac to clear the windscreen mostly on cold mornings 🤩and we have a one way valve installed now 😊appreciate you taking the time to comment 🤩
