we weighed the van after everything was fitted, however we had bikes tents and extra air beds, 1 tank full of water filled. all fridges and frizas full of food. the total weight was exactly as the max weight was stated. we have since shedded 180kg, including lighter foxtel stands, moving all tools and large chairs to the car. no bikes on the van. 2 less peoples cloths and beddings. but are about to add 50kg for another air con. so with water we should still be under. we have a weight bridge 1km from home. so that easy to weight on the way out.

it was hard to find the correct lcd with back light adjustment. with the dc dc converter. i can run 4 internal lights, 1 x 32 inch tv, inverter running the tv and foxtel unit only. audio system and run it continously for 36 hours. not that i would. but the power consumption with the panel brightness down all the way is only 1.5 amps. panel brightness is much different to normal tv brightness. it adjusts how bright the back lighting is on - hence how much current is draw from the battery. this van was the first with a washing machine. and i would never travel without this again. have to carry half the amount of cloths as normal as they be washed every day or two and also save on washing machines at parks.

we have vollyball nets, and many board games, but sometimes when the kids are tired they just want to lay down and watch a movie. its also the best when you go away with couples and its getting late - kids can go inside down the back - watch what they want and that leaves it peaceful for us
