Picked up the van about two weeks ago, thanks to this web site very inspired, read this site every night now instead of candy crush.
Will posts mods as they develop and what I find along the way.
Pics to get started.
The van
TV bracket on reinforced alum plate with screw caps
Agm battery with 12 volt surge protection /monitor
Small fridge led light , on when door opened, off when closed ( I know I stuck the video cam in there )
First fridge led light sensor light by Coleman bit big for fridge, will save for front box.
Level indicator and rated shackles.

Thanks for the offer @Colin&Sue ... Will have a look at local Jayco dealer here and see what they have. But just might take you up on the offer if we don't find one.

I like the anderson cover. Might have to have a look for one.

There pretty good the little hole on RHS of the base plate is an led light that comes on when power connected. About $30 from a shop.

Some great mods so far. Thats a trick anderson plug cover with LED, thats cool. Sure beats my $3 jobbie off ebay.

Trying to find these but unable to locate them even on the net. Do you have a link for them or what shop did you get these from?

Hi BJ, on ebay about $15 to $20, any dramas let me know.

Replaced sink waste to a silver straight down one. Added 12 volt sockets to van interior, including fuse panel for future take offs as required.
Still working on 120mm square bumper tube with locking door for storage, pics to follow.
Then a new front box.

Just done couple of hours hiding in the van, added light above table , sink waste breather, and magnetic catches to the cupboards so we don't have to push buttons all the time when set up, just push in for travel.

I like the light above the table, have been thinking about one of those for about a year now in our 16.49 guess I better get to it.

glad i did it, the cream conduit i stole from the bottom of sink cupboard over wheel arch (never see in there unless you lay on the floor), replaced with some black stuff u don't see on the black wheel arch and used the cream for my wiring to table light to keep it all looking original in there were u do see.

And there I was thinking you went to Bunnings ! Very neat.
