That’s a very good point that you made.. thanks for reminding me not to have my number plate obscured... much appreciated your advice.
TheAre you expecting a plague of locusts to follow the coronavirus?
The way the year is going anything could happen yet... but hopefully not a plague of locusts.Are you expecting a plague of locusts to follow the coronavirus?
That’s a good point about reduced air flow.. thanks for sharing...
Cheers dude.... I really liked the look of it.. seen it loads of times in Australia on T6’s and definitely keeps the bugs off the front .
Haha...
Hmm .. not sure there are just a "few insects" ? Maybe dawdling around the UK but it's a whole different ball game after 9hrs straight at a constant 80mph+ through France to The Alps. You cant even see your headlights or front end. 100% insect coverage, layer upon layer of the b*ggers

It is actually made for the Australian outback so it will probably see off a kangaroo..Will it stop bird strikes......

Totally agree and that’s my experience also... Thanks good comment
What’s next bush tucker trials....but fair play if it works for you then thats good
@Wayne.wirral - those are the most restrained and polite responses I think I've ever seen following such a barrage of negative comments, well done to you sir!
I was originally wondering if someone had invented something that wasn't actually required but I do get it. Ref the number plate comment, there's loads of people on this forum with illegally spaced/altered number plates and the police appear to be letting that 'slide' so you probably have nothing to worry about - you can sort it there and then to their satisfaction too. I also don't think you need to worry about restriction of flow to the radiator either - these things have been tested in Australia where their winters are warmer than our summers.

This is what the front of my van looked like after a week out and about after the easing of lockdown and having driven to the south of France through the night every year for about 15 years I agree you do get a lot of bug splatter. I normally have to use a wet wipe to get them off the windscreen during stops but with a net fitted wouldn’t the bug juice still cover the paintwork and you would need to clean the netting somehow? If you like the look thats one thing but I’m not sure I understand the benefits of it.
Edit: just read the packet on the picture above. So it’s to stop bugs blocking the radiator. I didn’t know that was an issue, but some of the buggers are pretty hard to shift so I guess it could especially if it’s always dry.
Anyway, fair play for such a unique addition (in the uk at least). Can you put the number plate on top?

Nice pics of New Brighton in the background. Hope you live down there, @Wayne.wirral campers are not allowed down there anymore, in case you pump it up into a motorhome and stay with the others!

For camping its very practical. Rock up at the site, scrape the contents of the screen into your Ridge Monkey... lots of protein there and its free

I have to admit that when I read some of the replies to my post I was gob smacked how negative some of the replies are and also felt belittled by one or two of them.. it really did take some restraining but what do you gain by lowering your standards to the same level...
I think that this is a great forum full of fantastic information and I really want to add and share information with other decent like minded people.
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment and basically stand by my side. It is very much appreciated and it is something that I would definitely do in return to anybody... thank you.
