    How to drive to Devon/Cornwall in a air-cooled van

    I had the same with my retro awning, I just brushed the black mould off with a hand brush. I then soaked it in soapy water and scrubbed the stubborn bits. Its not 100% but near damn it. Sent from my SM-N910F using Tapatalk

    Can you run different profile tyres

    Just be careful with your load ratings. The rear of a bus, especially a fully loaded camper is quite heavy! ;) Sent from my SM-N910F using Tapatalk
