Hot weather preparation

[jezport]

What do you do before a long trip to prepare your can that you wouldn't normally do?
I've had my oil and filters changed kast week and have blown all the break dust out of my brakes with my compressor. Cleaned the cab air inlet under the bonnet. Obviously I checked all fluid levels. Do you do anything more?

I should have checked my cab a/c more carefully before we departed for France...

Fortunately, was able to get it sorted over there for probably not a lot more than it would have cost in the UK.

We had ours redone 3 years ago and it's still OK. Fiat cross threaded the filling valve when making the van!

Nothing really, I check the levels, A/C operation and tyre pressure once a year so the van is ready to go any distance.

I Remember my dad had to piss about changing thermostats and blanking half the grille off in winter? Thank god those days are over. We have the Japs to thank for reliability and longevity today
