A good cheap way to help keep the cold or heat out of your C/Van or Motorhome is to use bubble wrap on your windows .Use Blu Tack or even Velcro to keep it on. It will cut the temp down or up depending how hot or cold it is. Can buy it in rolls at post office or even those office supply shops or maybe via the net.

I have noticed that a number of CP's amenity blocks quite often have no plugs for the basins. I carry 3 different sized rubber plugs cut from old car tubes. The three sizes make it easier to fit any plug hole. They have come in handy many times. They don't leak either. ( Old army trick) Kevin
