EASY TIPS THAT REALLY WORK !

1 . PROTECT YOUR PIPES
If you ’ re heading offroad , and you have an offroad van , don ’ t assume the manufacturer has adequately protected the PVC piping underneath . You ’ d think you should be able to make that assumption , but check anyway . This piping won ’ t last long on extended trips on gravel roads . The easiest thing to do is to wrap it in some aggy pipe or some other conduit … or you could even wrap it in offcuts of carpet or some other protective material . It ’ s easy to do , and could save you some real cash down the road .
On a similar theme , why not seal your van ’ s town water inlet by plugging in a normal hose fitting to the brass inlet and then sealing up the small hole with tape ?
