A little tip for the van in storage

Heres a little tip for my fellow vanners.
If your van seldom gets started cause its undergoing a rebuild you might want to make sure that ANY opening is sealed up. IE: floor plugs,air filter,vents, and espesially exhuast pipes.
Its been around 30 sumthing degress up my way and ive had a dead rat smell in my shed. Ive pulled it apart looking for it.Searched under the van, in the van, over the van. In every box I own in there but you know where it was. thats right, Up the old tail pipe.
Only worked that one out when i saw a fly buzzing around it so stuck me nose and like an IDIOT took a deep breath &
..............FOUND IT......................

Had a similar experiance with a buggy that was stored in a shed in the bush,when we tried to start it a bat flew out of the exhaust and caused havic in the shed,fun for all trying to avoid it and its diseases.

at least ya found it BEFORE you went on that nice long hot summer's day cruise!

That would make it a RAT van then????

Oh yuk!!

could officially join the RATvanners Club then... (in Ballarat). and it'd be genuine!
