Rain soaked day three (even hail) and we've noticed she fogs up in the rain so nothing is visible unless it's straight ahead or behind. Does anyone have any hints on how to reduce it? Use of 'the force' doesn't seem to help nor leaving the side windows open.

Tour update:

My god the roads are shocking and hitting a pothole on the motorway at a good sixty gets the heart working.

Arriving late at a camp site with no mobile signal will result in a pub B&B which has its benefits.

Kids don't enjoy tail gating lorries - neither to I

Scotland is rather chilly.

Minty is a head turner.

We usually just open the small front windows and regularly wipe the front. Trouble is you get a bit wet!

Lorries are very interesting aren't they? I hate it on a windy day when they insist on passing you. Two hands on the wheel is my advice.

Hope you're having a great time - I think the weather is due to warm up later this week. Fingers crossed!

Oh, and you're right, Minty is deffo a head turner.

I think it sounds like you're having the perfect debut trip in your BraziBay!

Hope you're enjoying all the thrills and spills. Smile

Good luck with the remainder of your 1st Outing , watch out for pot holes though.. I failed to avoid one the other day and now have a BRM requiring refurbishment!!! Ouch!

I got so fed up with the side windows misting up I made a box to go over the heater with pipe work up to the side vents, so now no more misty side windows. I'll post a photo when back home.
