Purchases for winter motorhome preparation

It’s designed for cars, but it will also help with all kinds of smaller emergencies in your motorhome, thanks to the products you get here – extra wide blade scraper, large scoop snow shovel, high-visibility vest, rescue tracks and a long reach snow brush with scraper head. The latter is a reminder that it’s illegal to travel on UK roads with significant amounts of snow on the roof of your vehicle – the thinking here is, if a collection of snow were to come off at any speed it could cause damage to other vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians.

OLPro Winter Long



If you haven’t used an overwintering product like this before, do seriously consider it – especially if you’re putting your motorhome into storage and don’t intend using it at all over the winter months.
It’s a concentrated formula that you apply to all of the bodywork using a normal sponge, giving a protective layer that really will last all through to next spring.
Dilute it to any concentration you wish, although OLPro says half-a-litre of concentrate with added water should be sufficient for protection from algae, bird droppings, tree sap, traffic film and more.

• Typical price: £9.99 • Key points: Biodegradable concentrated fluid, environmentally friendly, one-litre pack, sufficient for two years’ use
