Cleaning

The window vac that clears your cab before you drive

Two items, both used daily: a window vac for cab condensation and a handheld for van floors.

The Kärcher window vac's official job is windows. Its real job is sucking the overnight condensation off the inside of the cab glass in about a minute, so the morning drive starts with clear screens instead of ten minutes of demisting and a damp sleeve. It also dries the shower walls and tray after use, which keeps the bathroom from developing that permanent-drizzle smell. The Dyson handles the floors (sand, gravel, dog, crumbs) without dragging a cable round the habitation area.

Field note

Wet-vac the cab glass before breakfast and the windscreen blind goes away dry, which means it doesn't grow anything interesting in its bag over summer. Condensation is a water problem in disguise, and the rest of that loop is in water and waste on the road.
