Bugs on Windscreen

I imagine that would collect the bugs. Ours only has a little protrusion and most of the bugs end up under it, rather than swept up and over by the air stream.

we do get a few bugs, but i put that down to the much larger screen.

we dont have any overcab protrusion at all, as cy mentioned, probably designed by a German Adrian Newey....

it is, in fact, very aerodynamic with very lttle wind noise even at motorway speeds...

Awe........do I detect hurt feelings BB🤣 Or  just a lack of sense of humour. Perhaps you didn’t see my smiley. No matter, we love our little Gatcombe. 

Aw, neither actually....

of course you like your van (we all do) but 'mobile brick'.....from an AS owner....?....really?

btw, smileys are a complete waste of time (until mentioned in defence of something, like 'i didnt really mean it'...) 

ps.... (smiley for you......cos you do 'em).

I am no entomologist or aerodynamacist but I think the big surface are of the windscreen is a factor. There are products which can put a layer of "polish" on the windscreen which make the bugs adhere less. The best thing is to remove as soon as possible and as David says a foam/netting sponge (on a handle for reach if necessary) works well. I use warm water but never need bug removal products. 

Incidentally for those who have SEVEL based van (although not A class vans which have a custom build front panel) there is a step built into the lower front of the van specifically for windscreen cleaning. Those who have opted for a matching paint finish on this however may be reluctant to use it lest footwear should scratch the paint surface. 

 

🤣🤣🤣Three for you BB. Never sneer at another man’s equipment, it’s never about the size, price, shiny finish......but all about the enjoyment😎

Besides, I thought you were an AS fan, enough to join the Owners forum.....

sorry, i thought it was you who was doing that a few post back.

....but, like me, you used a 'smiley' which makes it all better....

. there you go.

yes, i learnt a lot in that forum....many similarities to CT, i felt, as just demonstrated (2 smileys for the price of one)

Facts-

Just a heads up for anyone visiting NYMoors area later in August. It won’t be bugs you have to avoid, they release all the (far too) young pheasants this month, ready for the annual shooting season. The roads were carnage in certain areas a couple of years ago, hundreds of birds dead along the roads, not a pretty sight........ The young birds have no road sense whatsoever, poor things.
