- Hello!
Following our 3 month trip around France, Stampy got us back home safe and sound, but not without a few bumps and bruises.
The broken overhead bedroom window and stand-in binbag window (TM), the patched up wing mirror, ripped apart cupboard catch and broken seal belt. Plus we might have left the fridge a little bit too long before cleaning it - blurgh!
Join me as we put a few things right for Stampy, drive Birmingham and back twice on a mission to replace the window and discover a few more issues at the same time!
Don't forget to check out www.caravancrazy.co.uk/ for your replacement motorhome and caravan windows! :)
Many thanks for watching, and LIKE & SUBSCRIBE as they say! :)

Daz, we had the same issue with our 2008 Motorhome best solution is a bonnet bra ( not joking), cheaper than painting thanks Jim
@@scotblock111 😆 will check this out! Thanks 🙏🏼
Look like the curtain rail is across all your window. Just need to remove track stops to put in full size curtains. I just use them part open with a blackout blind down a bit to keep sun out of eyes and off computer screen. This also lets in some light and air in summer.
@@qwertysds thanks. The slide up blinds are really good for blackouts, Bee sleeps better in the moho compared to home in the summer. Thanks for the observation!
Another tip, leave fridge open when not in use to stop mould. Some fridges have a safety catch on the door which you pill out, leaving about an inch gap round the door to let air circulate.
Funnily enough I've done that ever since using a peg (we don't have a catch) after finding this minging mess! Shameful 😆
Great video
@@marcgransden1566 thank you ☺️🙏🏼
A tip! Invest in the wing mirror covers. You can get them on white! They are worth their weight in gold! We have had our mirrors hit about 6 times since we bought our van, a couple of times glass has popped out and these are easily replaced but has saved damage. to the wing mirrors themselves.
Great tip thanks! 🙏🏼
Another cheap option for the bonnet is to have it wrapped, there are several places round the south coast that can do this cheaply and match the colour, or if your brave enough take the bonnet off and rub it down and spray yourself - the fiat spray can match from Halfords is a good match and will look 100 times better for hardly any cost at all
Great video, love seeing You guys take an honest approach to motor homing, and on a budget which is refreshing to see, we like you use free places where we can here in Spain 🇪🇸
Thanks for these useful tips! Definitely has to be on a budget! Spain seems to have some amazing free stopovers from vlogs we've watched. Enjoy!
@@EscapeintheMotorhome 100s here in Spain, we are so lucky to live here and have a Motorhome to explore
Fiat Peugeot citroen always have paint peel on there vans water based paint to save environment is the culprit all the best donny
Hope it's not an expensive fix. Thanks Donny 😁❤️
some people use a heat gun on the plastics to restore them to their original colour
@@grahamunderwood9353 wow that's an interesting trick! Thanks 😊
lol 😅Daz is so excited about his new wing mirror his tool kit contains some fancy stuff cutlery 😂hilarious but he gets the jobs done to be fair well done 🎉
This is Daz in his happy place 😆😆😆 Thanks Lorraine x
Glad to see that window finally repaired. Did you get a clean air sticker for the fridge, gosh what a mess that was.
@@RobertSmith-cv1cu wasn't it disgusting!!? Ashamed. Mind you, think it had been brewing for a while after we vacated.
Did you have a link for your mirrors ? Mine are black, so many different prices on ebay
@@karlmabe1649 he'll look it up for you, he doesn't think it was eBay but we'll let you know and post in the description asap! 😀
I'd trade in your kids! Be prepared for a list of jobs to do everyone you come back from a trip! 😂😂
@@dianerichardson3061 😆😆 yes I should have delegated more 👍🏼
Why did you call your van Stampy?
@@user-xt4lr7bg4f it's the money we would have used on Stamp Duty if we had moved which we were planning to do. Our house sale fell through and we just thought, right, time for a different adventure for a bit. So stamp duty became Stampy 😊
@@EscapeintheMotorhome wow, things happen for a reason, think of all the amazing adventures you would have missed out on!
Love watching your vlogs, really interesting and informative, also I love your honest warts and all approach. I'll look forward to seeing your next adventures with Stampy and your lovely family xxx
@@user-xt4lr7bg4f thanks 🙏🏼 that's a lovely thing to say! ❤️
