dazmond im stockport based and didn't find it too bad.  obviously its been raining a lot, but its not rained more than its rained if that makes sense.  mind you i have had a battle all day with the guy on your shoulder that always says 'its ok, you can do it tomorrow, they wont mind' haha

It has been wetter inside my van than out. I flooded the tank this morning, also managed to soak my wet weather gear, so it is just as well that the rain held off.

nasty. I've been lucky, don't get any leaks. only once misjudged and made or bad decisions and van overflowed. all overflowed unexpectedly into cab footwells that wasn't prob sucked it all out with carpet shampooer. but all under plastic lining the insulation stuff was soaking for ages despite being middle summer/dehumidifIer/newspaper etc, but didn't know where to start with taking lining out.

so if have plastic liners, gonna b nitemare drying out, b prepared for lots of nasty damp smells lol

Better get used to it, this is the job folks. If you can't take it you shouldn't have started. Don't come moaning to me, I'm still out working in shorts.

Cold is when the water freezes on the glass, rain is when you can't see the brush on the window. Been there, done it all
