The red chairs we bought about 30 years ago in Calais. We were camping in a tent near Dover and had nothing to sit on. We did the usual touristy thing of taking a day trip on the Ferries by foot to Calais and the Hypermarkets. Found the chairs in the Hypermarket and bought them.
Most things in the Motorhome have a story..nothing exciting really but nice to have things which bring back memories of previous holidays.

Just looking at the silver blind in photo - must stretch the bottom of it out to remove the wrinkles - they just get worse if left.

Just put a new cover on the ironing board. Story behind the ironing board is when I bought house in Oldmeldrum previous owners left it in house as it was old and was going in skip. "no no, leave it as I can make use of it" I said.
When I sold Oldmeldrum and moved I asked removal men if they could dispose of it along with another box of rubbish. "Don't do that" said the removal chap " put a new cover on it and a tin of spray paint and will be better than any you can buy these days". So I still have it and has had many a new cover and still better than any you can buy.
Probably as old as I am.

No pressure wash - would damage or get past the seals.
I climb up the ladder and walk over it with my long brush. My roof is strong enough to take my weight.
Done all the sides, not done the roof yet.

Good Morning
Not so cold down here either

Do we pressure wash?

Silly question, how do you clean the roof?

[jonjonck] 06/1/2019 09:13

Good Morning.
Not so cold today so may wash the Motorhome, or at least rinse it.
