Extra Guest

[Steve B]

Here's me reading with interest about van/awning configurations to accommodate dogs, some in the van, some outside, but as we don't have dogs it's not that relevant. I didn't realise until last weekend we had an extra guest animal living in our MP; a mouse in the engine bay. Its gone now but had made a small nest in the insulation material on the right side of the engine bay, near the hinge. So, very cost effective; no awning needed, lives in a different area to the main cabin and finds its own food! Not that friendly though......

Good story
Consider yourself lucky your little guest didn't start nibbling at the MP's electrical wires and disabling the van. Happens very often.

Yes, a sobering thought!
If laying up for the winter under cover, it is a good idea to keep the bonnet up, the surrounding area clean and inspect regularly for signs of unwelcome visitors.
