I have noticed that all models have grab handles on each of the corners. I cannot for the life of me figure out what they are for??? Best thing I came up with was to tie the dog up!

Not a lot of work getting done in the reno today mate if youve got time to post on the forum OR, you must enjoying that beer all ready from the work done and you cant go on due to ''waiting for the glue to dry before i can tackle the next stage''.
Sorry @Hubble80 to hi-jack your thread.

As for the handles, i am yet to try and manovre our van by hand is the only reason i can think they are there for.

I asked that question during hand over and was told they are for manoeuvring the van by hand. I asked how long ago Bruce Banner bought his last van but the joke went over her head.

Having the external shower option on our van I have used the rear handle to thread and tie a tarp onto, then tie the other end to a treet or pole. I then do the same on the front handle...hence creating a tarped triangle out the back of the van for showering etc.

to hang onto when your ladder is too short, and you're standing on it with one foot leaning out, the other foot in the airair, sponging the bird poo off.

So you're telling me my privacy screen tie-downs are actually handles as well? How cool is that?
