Cleaning up ...

So much happened since my previous post.  Life has been very busy!

We've started more serious prepping for our big adventure.  

There was mould on the canvas, which I wanted to clean before departure.  

We remembered cleaning the D9 camper with a high-octane product and baulked at using the same this time round.  The product was effective but we didn't like it's fumes.

I'd read of Milton being used as an alternative solution and we opted to try that.  We purchased one bottle at the supermarket and then converted reward points to a $50 BigW voucher, which funded another four bottles.

There was some trial and error getting the ratio right but we settled on a 50/50 approach.  The five bottles were sufficient to treat all the walls and the underside of the front and back window awnings.  Some areas received a double treatment - and everything was thoroughly hosed down afterwards.

We only treated the outside, didn't bother with the roof (which only had a few light marks) and were really pleased with the end result.  It was far less fumey, so much easier to work with - and definitely cheaper, even if we hadn't used the voucher.
