Hi there Rosie, good to hear from you and thanks very much for the heads up. We know the garden centre but have never been so will check it out, thanks. Best wishes and take care, Helen & Dave

Thanks Robert, we appreciate your support. Thanks for watching. Helen & Dave 👍

Hi Jane, they are dry clean only but I did them on a cool wash, got them straight on the line and ironed them and they came up a treat! Thanks for watching, Helen & Dave

It was a quick wash too Jane

@@HelenandDaveThank you for that I will give it a try. Loving the changes you are making to your van. We have a similar problem with the bathroom mirror so are going to put a trim on , brilliant idea. X

Hi there Rob & Gail, bit of bling on the mirrors and we will see how we get on with them b ut worth a try before prising off the wall as you say. Did seriously consider a USB socket but we have loads of chargers so at least we get the best of both worlds with a 13amp socket. Roll of the fine weather but we need to get ready for a trip away in a couple of weeks. Take care both. Off to watch your Tow Car Tips vlog. Cheers, Helen & Dave

it is generally considered to be an extra security point, because without it the van could be hitched up using an undersize towball when an Alko hitch lock is in place. It’s dangerous but thieves do it all the time.

Hi Karen, thanks so much. That sounds like a handy little site. You'll soon have her looking ship shape. Safe travels, Helen & Dave

Thanks Alison, the strips are nice and easy to apply. Measure twice, cut once lol. Take care, Helen & Dave

Clever idea, bet they look great Cameron.

Hi Sandra, I will and sorry it’s carolines caravan curtains 😬 carolinescaravancurtains.co.uk here it is and I’ll put it in description 👍

Thank you 🙏

Hi Gary, thanks for watching. The app ids called travel boast. Cheers, Helen & Dave

Thank you so much Morag, hope we end up making the van look better at the end of all this lol. Take care, Helen & Dave

What a silly comment Ron! Life is all about choices you have an opinion which is wildly off the mark but if you don't like what we do, then don;t watch the channel!!! Dave

You didn't reference the advert for the local upholsterer in Caister on Sea and the curtain maker in Birmingham!

My wife agrees with you both, I’m a grumpy old git and have the socks to match😂. Fair play with using old stock curtains and local produced cushions.👍

@ 😂😂👍👍 would love to see those socks Ron 😊

Hi Jim, thanks as always, yeah, the bling isn't for everyone but hopefully it demonstrates a quick cheap fix option, other styles are available. lol Glad to hear the arm rest idea works, thanks. Nice lovely hearts from a rufty tufty man ha ha. Thanks as always, Helen & Dave

Cheers Ronnie, I know you like a bit of bling! lol.

Thank you! You too Mike.

Thanks Amanda, just hope we end up making it better not worse. Great price on the curtains. Thanks for watching. Helen & Dave

Hi there Ashley, yeah our benches were too soft and after a while started to get uncomfortable. Thanks for watching. Helen & Dave

Thanks so much Julie & Tony 😊

Thanks very much Amanda, pretty sure it will enhance the final look once we have carpets, curtains etc. Thanks for watching. Helen & Dave

We did the same, ended up putting it under the mattress not on top of it lol.

Sorry Ian, but of course you're right! Thanks again for sharing your idea. We loved it. ATB, Helen & Dave

Blimey! It seems like it's been Boom followed by Bust!!!

Hi Cameron, not my area of expertise but assume you have checked that the hoses are all connected OK?

Hi Janey, many thanks, she gets all of her inspiration from me obviously lol. Hope you're well. Helen & Dave

Great idea Julie, glad you like what we have done so far, the big work will make the most difference of course. Cheers, Helen & Dave

Hi Donna, love Run Cottage, hope you have a great stay. Bella is fine thanks, just a little eye infection just taking a while to get rid of. Thanks as always, Helen & Dave

Thanks Steve :o)

What is it with you Helen's and Amazon? Can't get her off of it lol!! They offered us a business account, she orders that much!! Yep 20 years is a good age, served you well but a new van will serve you well. Good luck, Helen & Dave

Hey, thanks, just subscribed to your channel, enjoy the reggae, reggae grooves. Thanks for watching. Helen & Dave

Hello Alison & Keith, thanks, Bella is OK, just a small eye infection which we seem to be on top of. Back at the vets on Monday. Is next month the start of a new touring season for you? plenty to look forward to for you two, you're away more than we are. Stay safe and happy travels. Helen & Dave

​@@HelenandDave Yes 1st time away nxt Month. Keiths mum bin diagnosed with dementia on top of Cancer so not going far just local. You have fun. Xx

@ so sorry to hear this. Sending our best wishes to you all ❤️

Yay! Thank you Sandra, when the carpets, curtains and upholstery go in then it will look very different but lot's of little bits to enhance too. Thanks for watching, hope you're well. Helen & Dave

Thanks so much Jennifer, the BIG bit will come last but we're hoping it will all come together and look good. Thanks for watching and take care, Helen & Dave

Hi Bessie, you're right, it's Feb tomorrow so March will be here in a flash. Can't wait to be honest, longer days, shorter nights and warming up (hopefully). Thanks as always, take care, Helen & Dave

Hi there Ray, external power point was one of our better ideas use it on the drive to plug the hoover in when cleaning the car lol. Yeah that first quote for curtains was off the scale!! Thanks as always, Helen & Dave

Thanks for the heads up on that Paul, TBH it did cross my mind that that could happen, will keep a close eye. Hope you're all well and tanks as always, Helen & Dave

Hi Paul & Joanne, it's been a hectic week. Bella is OK but will be back at the vets on Monday, she has an eye infection which is a bit concerning because this is how it started with the other eye before she lost it, but our vet is great and he thinks so far, no reason to be too concerned. The revamp will come together quickly when the curtains, carpets and new upholstery go in but lot's of little jobs in the meantime. Best wishes to you both, hope all is well. thanks, Helen & Dave

@@HelenandDave 🙏👍❤️

You're not thinking straight Mel! Far too much of a fire risk in the window, I thought it would be better in the awning along with a rotating mirror ball. lol. Bella is doing fine so far thanks Mel, a little eye infection which hopefully we have under control. Thanks as always, Helen & Dave

@ Well, that is very Disco, Dave………coming to a campsite soon, Disco from the Canopy

Thanks Steve & Chris, looking forward to the new look, hope it works!! Cheers, Helen & Dave

Hi Linda, she has lens luxation, sadly quite common in this breed and when we rescued her three years ago she lost her right eye through it. We were told she would likely lose the other eye within 6 months but three years later she is still doing very well. She has though picked up an infection which the vet believes could be irritation form the 5 drops a day she has to take to help prevent the loss of this eye too. Her pressure tests are very good and the eye is in good condition overall so currently no real concerns but she has to take a further two drops to fight the infection. She's her normal self. Thanks for asking and watching the video. Helen & Dave

@HelenandDave that's exactly what happened to our Oscar. He was a resue dog with sight in only one eye and kept having trouble with the other eye. The insurance wouldn't pay out for any eye condition because of what happened previous to when I got him so I spent an absolute fortune on him and travelled so far to see a specialist we had to stay overnight. I'm not saying he didn't do a good job, but I think he was just an experiment for him as he never wanted me to go to another vet for the condition. Anyway, to cut a long story short, he did the dirty on me one time I went, and I never went back. His eye had cleared up, I believe it was a corneal ulcer, so I hope Bella never gets one of those. In the end, he was diagnosed with dry eye. I had to put in numerous drops, including Remend, Optix, something or other, but someone mentioned getting Tears Naturalle 11(two), and they were the best thing ever. I could only get them from Morrisons Pharmacy, but he used tubes of them. I also had to say they were for me. I hope Bella is okay and on the mend. Sadly, we lost our Oscar in November last year whilst in Cornwall, but the vet posted his ashes to me. I wasn't prepared for losing him at all. Stay safe and take care xx

Hi Joe, thanks so much, great to hear from you and we appreciate you watching the vids. Stay tuned, Helen & Dave

Good evening Michael, that’s fabulous news. If you get half the pleasure from your caravan that we do then you will soon realise that it will be one of the best purchases you’ll ever make. Thanks, Helen & Dave
