What do you like in or on your van?

[John and Jo]

Hi All, Thinking the other day what I liked the most about our Topender and started to list them.

This is not intended to start a" my van is better than your's" ,but would be interested to read how and what we regard as valuable, and practical items in our vans.

Other posts have dealt with wish lists so this one is a little different.

My list of good things in our van :

Diesel heater with switch next to my bed

Air bag suspension with compressor

beautiful for levelling sideways.

Washing machine

Oven

Solar power system

70 amp battery charger

En-suite

Large hanging cupboard with six draws

Led down-lights

Auto tuning sat dish

Storage under bed

Lots of cupboards with heavy duty catches

Steel draw sides

Large fridge and freezer

Fantastic fan

Air con

Hot-water system

Extended drawbar

Large box on rear for generator

Storage space under above box for sullage hose

Two lockers accessible from outside

Front locker.

I know that some of the above items are standard

but well worth having.

who's next?

regards John

I am thinking It's been a long day for me as I just towed our van from Karratha to Geraldton with only a short stop overnight as it was too hot.

From what my friends with a Kedron who live in NSW have told me the diesel heater sounds like a good investment. We find it hard to imagine cold right now but do remember how cold we were last year when in NSW and ACT. Normally I would have up stumps and moved somewhere warmer but there was just so much to see over there. Might have to invest in one for the next big trip starting March.

I keep swinging with the washing machine and am back on the don't need one at the moment, ask me again next year

Definately if we do have a van built it will have a spot for our large folding reclining camp chairs so that they don't have to keep going on the bed.

There is probably more but my brain isn't working properly so will leave it at those for now.

Cheers

Sue
