My 18.57-9

Thought it about time to put up a few mods. The majority are from ideas I've seen on here so thanks to all.

Firstly my toolbox. Just need to extend the gas line to the reg as I moved the bottles forward.



Bottle opener



12V Rechargeable LED Torch

I like the box idea :encouragement: but I'd have to get one wide enough to fit gas bottles and weber Q inside as we only have the standard length drawbar.
What did you do with your spare wheel? (Getting as many ideas as I can before deciding which way to go)

G'day @dagree. The box is 1800mm wide, I think you'd get both bottles and the weber in. I put my weber Q220, Honda EU20i and theres still a heap of room between them.
I am mounting the spare wheel underneath the rear of the van. Its the next job on the list so will post some photos up when it's done.

A few more mods.

Pantry made from qubelok and some sliding metal drawers.



Rear bed table storage. Thanks to others for ideas. I have 2 6' folding tables stored.

I like the idea of the vertical straps... Should have done that with ours!

Yeah it allows me to fold the bed end down while leaving the tables there. I wanted the option for overnight stops to just leave them in position.

Haven't been away since setting ours up with the horizontal straps but they seemed to stay where they are when dropping the bed ends.
Only thing I did find was we had to remove the table on the front bed due to it hitting the top of the gas bottles when lowered. Will have even less clearance when I fit the ali box on the front.

Not a big issue for overnighters as there's usually only 2 of us on short trips and won't need the front bed dropped down.
