vindiboy Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 We spent two nights on the Calais Aire " last week,the days of the storm,Calais was closed as was Dover at the time,it was blowing a raging gale,any way today as the sun is shining here I finally got round to washing the van, we have been away on a two month trip to Hungary and Italy got down as far as Rome,fabulous trip,the van was really filthy as I did not clean it much whilst away.At Calais with the high winds the sand was blowing in all directions and I could not believe how much of it I had brought home with me it was in all the vents under the Solar Panels ,really fine sand, nasty stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peacock312 Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Hi, same thing last February in Spain,it made all our vans yellow inc. our Kampa awning,it's still yellow and it won't wash off,I washed everything the morning after as did everyone else, but several Washings later it's still apparent in places like the cab door hinges etc, What must it do to moving vehicles? As i am sure no filter would stop the stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you've given it a good clean out for any prospective customers.......no mention of sand in your advert, lol. By the way, the van looks a treat, if we didn't want a garage version I could be very tempted, Lenny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bolero boy Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 When is the Exsis arriving? Do you have the option of part exing with your dealer if you advent sold by then? I assume the new van will be LHD? Can sometimes be a bit tricky to coordinate the timing on these deals, good luck, should have no trouble.
