Mod #15 Shade cloth using Clarrie's Awning Clips
Seen these around but don't know why haven't got it sooner.
Great when in a spot short term and want a bit of privacy, shade and don't want/need full annexe wall up.
Using the clips means that don't have to slide stuff in and out of the track if you want to add tie downs if it gets a bit breezy.
Beware of cheap imitations, Clarrie's are Stainless Steel and hand made! Worth it.
Saw cheap 'copies' and they were rough, Al, didn't fit properly.

Yeah they're good aren't they mate , keen to know if you've fixed yours on or not ?
Cheers
Yes, used them on recent trip. They just loop on when either shade cloth or Annexe wall is already on and you want more stability.
They just clip on and don't require to be slid along the groove, can be clipped on afterwards without having to un slide your whole shade wall or annexe wall.
Mod #14 ^2 Updated this mod post #58 above, still one more mod to the mod to come when Hoselink connector arrives.
These fittings just Do Not Leak and are so easy to swap attachments, add extra lengths of hose etc.
I have 3 different lengths of hose that I adjust to suit the circumstances.

Hi Marv_mart,
really like the idea of the table, only had one trip in our new van and our 5 year old already broke the table -also love the idea of having it out of the way altogether or just having a half table. I was wondering if I could have the details so I can get one order.
Cheers Heidi

This is what I did;
Find a van that has the same or similar decor to yours and has a tri fold table and note the chassis number.
Go to your dealer with the chassis number and order a tri fold table, they will put one on the build line and eventually ship it to them (or you directly) as a flat pack.
Very easy to assemble.
I turned the cupboard part upside down so that the nice top with the edging ended up at the bottom.
I then attached the folding top directly to the cupboard once I had fitted the cupboard.
My 'skirting board' was much narrower than the one I used to order from as my 14.44-5 only has a single wheel so where the table was to be fitted was not over a wheel arch.
If you look carefully at my photos you should be able to work it out.
Reply if you want more info/details. Cheers

Thank you for the details, hope it's not a silly question but how do you find a van which has same layout; our is the 17.56-1 poptop 2014 model.
Went to the local dealer. We live in Adelaide. Or go to the caravan and camping show.
Could also ask via this forum for those people who have tri fold table, give them your decor info.
Might get a reply via DM, some won't give chassis number on the forum.
Didn't look for the same van as ours or the same model as none of the 14.44-5 OBs have the trifold. We got the chassis number from another Expanda model completely but had similar decor and a tri fold table. Does that make sense
We are going to the melbourne show next weekend so shall have a look there otherwise will ask on forum.
Thanks again!
Thanks again!
Mod #16 Installed EZDown tailgate damper on the BeasT50
Ordered Friday after reading about it on another thread, arrived today (Monday) at 1:00pm, installed by 1:30.
Instructions very easy to follow, all parts required included in the pack. Did require a special star driver to undo the bolts on the BeasT but son owns a mechanics workshop so that problem easily and quickly solved.
Works a real treat, even SWMBO can drop the tailgate now with ease.
Pics = proof it happened!
They supply the fittings to suit your vehicle, just google EZDown!

Mod #17 LP Gas detector hard wired and tested.
Following some potentially horrific tales on other threads, bought this some time ago and installed today.
Got the one that had the best 'recommendations'.
Safe-T-Alert Propane gas alarm Model 40-441-P installed about 20mm above the floor, below the gas stove/griller and opposite the 3 way fridge and well away from drafts and vents as recommended.
Hope we never have to 'abandon ship' so to speak but feel safer now that it is in and tests OK.
