Mines winter ready, except for all the rot and new holes in the floor.

If the bungs are in how does the water get back out?

But that is the only main place it comes in except through the top of my door or the sills

But when I do a river crossing the only place it can get in is the bung holes that's why I like to block.them up and if I do find water in the footwells I just take the bung out and all the water goes out and then put the.bung back in

Every person that has got in my sj says why is there a hole in the floor

If you leave the bungs out the river water washes the mud out ;)
