If you have any hot water left from your kettle, put it in a thermos and use it for washing up and cleaning later on.

Those £2.99 round barbecue sets you see make good grill pans. You just spin them a bit at a timeto get the toast brown.

Is this sad?

refill the kettle staight after makeing a brew , the remaining hot water and heat from the still cooling hob prewarms the cold and it boils quicker next time........

In the winter pop a Frey Bentos pie in the oven for supper. Hot food and a warm van by bed time

If its sunny enough that you wonder about suntan lotion, its sunny enough that you should actually put some on

When it's really hot, open both sliders for that 'air tunnel' effect.......

Get two awnings, attach one to each side, and bask in the space......

If you are pro douvet ( hate bags ) but cant get the temp right..

Take a winter one and summer one, When its cold sleep on the summer one and cover with warm one. When its warm visa versa. It makes the foam feel softer and you can always have the right balance.

vac packed they dont take up much room in a high top.

Lazy?

buy a radio with a remote control.... fantastic.

Nothing personal Euan but if your photo is anything to go by you've been
eating too many Fray Bentos cow pies. It could be time for a haircut as well laddie!

Hi Jen, Yes I do know who Euan is! (but see 'Euan's' photo).

I met him at the Bolton area meet at the Bob's Smithy pub in early April.
At Bus Types I only saw him a couple of times during the day because he
wimped out at night & went to bed at 10pm - no sign of him in the Spragmans! These tough Scottish warrior types need their beauty sleep!

top tip for westy owners, go to a greasy spoon for breakfast, this way you will be able to have toast!!

Jed, top tip for you considering your last tip, never poo in your own van loo, do a T'Onion and use someone elses.
