Frozen pole
« on: December 19, 2006, 12:11:34 pm »
I have to carry my pole on top of the van. Today all the pipe through the pole and brush head was frozen. Nothing I could do to unfreeze it inside the pole.

What's the solution? Last year the pole lived in the van, now I have a bulkhead in my new doblo which prevents this. Should I just get a five section pole with 4ft sections which can live inside..? I know tucker do one, but at a price...
So now I'm at home....

If your pole is frozen just give it a rub. Then it will go up fine.

Not sure where in your van you stored it but i have seen a van with a hole cut in the bulkhead to allow the butt of the pole to poke through.

It was positioned to sit in the step of the passange side

Just an idea

You could use an air compressor and blow all the water out of it at the end of the day.

I just discovered that if i adjust the gooseneck so the brush is tucked right under ity fits in the back diagonally. Might get the misses to try the rubbing one though.....
