Towels.
(Preview)
This is really a tip from Kaid. Visited her yesterday, and she showed me some Large Micro-fibre Towels. Camping stores stock them, [I googled some last night.] and although not real cheap, they are very light-weight, and don't take up much space. I'm going to get a couple just for the Van tomorrow...

Black Lines
(Preview)
To keep black lines off your RV where water runs from your roof onto the sides. Get a length of awning beading and thread it into the awning track. This 4cm beading over hangs the sidewall and deflects water and dirt from the roof away from the sidewalls.

Non-slip the Step.
(Preview)
I found the step into the Hi-ace very slippery when getting in with wet shoes, so I've glued some of the Rubber Shelf Lining onto it. Works like magic. First lot has now worn out. Will replace it in the next day or so. Cheers, Sheba.
