Hi, for the forseeable future my Van will be living on the road outside the house.
Any weekly checks I should be doing to keep it from weathering as much as possible?
It is my day to day runner if that changes things

A really good coat of wax helps to keep the weather at bay and road dust at a minimum.

Re: Keeping My Van Outside
not just any old wax... canuba wax is probably better than a cover.

ALDI do it too - at least 2-3 times a year. Bargain at £2 for about half a gallon.
