    I haven't got a cover for my pop top but when cleaning the van roof, I stupidly used the extending ladders, that you are using for access. To protect the edge of the van, where I placed the ladders, I even placed a towel beneath the ladder, to stop it marking the metal on the van. Later my son noticed three small dents in the metal, which I then realised what did it. I got the dents out later by using a paintless dent repairer, when he was sorting out a small parking dent at the same time. The outcome is that I would never use and place a ladder on the side of the van again. The metal is very thin there and there is no structural support for it to support the weight of you plus a ladder. I now use a set of free standing tall steps, with no further problems.

    We bought those silicone mitts from The Range. Also there they had plastic lids that fit over tin cans. Ideal for storing items still in the cans in the fridge like tomatoes and coconut milk. Get a diesel heater! For the winter and even cooler autumn and spring evenings and mornings. It turns your vehicle into a 6 month to a year round vehicle. Only £144 (though it cost £300 for my mechanic to fit it)

  • @avrillaver4495
    @avrillaver4495 Рік тому

    U should attach the tunnel to the van first, then peg the awning and blow up. Mark one the ground where the centre of the tyres are i.e make a little runway to reverse Ur van into the exact spot when the tunnel should attach. I have never erected the galli prior to attaching it to the van first!!
