The front of the m/h was a multicolored hue of insect splatters by the time we got back this weekend from 2 weeks in France - but that was a result of superb warm weather while we were there so can't knock that.
BUT, it was a right bugger to clean up and get rid of the insect debris using a combination of brush, sponge, MucOff, and at times, light use of a nylon scouring pad.
has anyone got any foolproof easy way of cleaning insect debris off the m/h???
Spreading Marmite over the front is even better because all the bugs (and most humans) hate the stuff so they will do all sorts of aerobatics to avoid squishing themselves into it and fly by you, leaving your MH bug free.
After you get home, you can then scrape the Marmite off and spread it on toast then invite the local vicar and his flock of sheep round for tea.
That's what I call a win-win situation.

Questions like that should be addressed to your pals on MHFacts as that's what they're there for. We don't do serious.
Next, you'll be asking us how to get an umweltag or whatever the fuck it is for your forthcoming trip to Germany.
Jeez, some plonker even posted a POI file here recently, as if Fruitcakes was a real MH site.
for fucks sake, you could have said use battery acid or Swarfega or summat rather than some dull answer like that. even the clingfilm answer was better.....

I think I read somewhere that someone was going to put clingfilm on the front of the van to prevent this!
Just leave em on. Least it shows you have been somewhere.
Now, Chief, that's an idea for a new Fruitcake's Product: Squished Bugs Spray. Spray it over the front of your MH to make it look as if you've been to exotic parts when the furthest you've been is to the local Tesco. Should retail for at least £19.99 a bottle.

I FUCKING HATE MARMITE!!
But you don't need to tell the vicar that as he wolfs down his sarnies.

hang abaht.....
you know that NuSkin stuff for spraying on skin to cover cuts etc (stings like fuck but works). how's about something similar like a spray on skin for motohomes. spray it on, go on holidays, pull it off with all insect debris when back home.
Squashed insects is a sign of bad driving. Quite obviously you have belted down the road without any effort to steer clear and avoid the odd bee or fly.
It is all down to taking all forms of life as equals, braking in time to avoid a fly or indeed swerving to avoid the impact.
Mass murder is not a word I use often but willful "head ons" with the insect world is simply not acceptable in this day and age.
You tell 'im, Pusser. There's far too many of these mass-murderers on the roads these days. No wonder the bee population is severely depleted. Mind you, you'd think that a guy who names himself after Gautama would at least respect other forms of life. Bet I know what he's going to be reincarnated as.

bumfluff: Evening all. Just joined this forum so hopefully I can get my head around it before too long. Any advice with regards to using a see-saw, nose hair remover and butt plug would be greatly appreciated by a friend of mine. Thank you.

GB584: Just a word of caution bumfluff, always always ensure that you correctly establish the difference between the butt plug and the nose hair removal, either that or ensure that the butt plug is scrupulously cleaned after use.
