Our planned trips for the year are all over and I've been cleaning the van ready for my next set of touring. But after thoroughly cleaning cupboards walls and seats there was still an odd aroma in the van. It turned out to be cooking smells trapped in the curtains. Once these were washed the van now smells fresh. How often do you clean your curtains. And why if the curtains are big enough to cover the window do they insist on putting in short wires so that they look neat but are incapable of being pulled across. I think that I will buy some longer spring wire and try drawing the curtains as well as using the pull down blinds. This should save a bit of heat loss.

By the way the cooking is "Bacon & Eggs " or "Eggs & Bacon". We're not very adventurous cooks when we are away. But that is what pubs meals are there for.

Try using something like Fabreze if you do not want to take them off and wash them.
