We've found time and time again that many good camp and van mods are born only from real world actual physical camping.
As much as the desire to tinker can sometimes consume me, some of my best thought bubble mods just haven't cut in the real world and as a result I rarely allow non field tested mods past concept stage, unless they are particularly brilliant (and there has been a few)
One thought bubble mod was what I thought, from my couch at home, a brilliant idea to have a tv in each of the 2 bunks (its my van and my holidays, so keep your personal vitriol in check), so i had the van wired accordingly with 240v, 12v and tv point at the foot end
That mod failed, but 3 years later the wiring allowed that idea to morph into a much better version of its original self
We still carry 2 tv's, our main lounge one and a smaller one, for the outside ent unit, that tv lives stored on the tv bracket on the otherwise unused upper bunk
The unused tv bracket in the Crusketts bunk became a slip on mount for his Caframo fan; the fan getting a modified base plate to suit.
Another tv bracket on the kitchen wall allows the Crusketts fan to be easily slip mounted high in the kitchen; and with our bed fan spun around to cool the lounge we rarely need to use the aircon.
