Thanks everyone, yeah matt we went with the 2. Has roof air, 150 fridge CD player, battery, the only extra at this stage was the external speakers but I'm considering the outside tv point. I'm also considering the holiday annexe bed end canvass, I've heard good things about them on here.
Cris, I couldn't agree more. The eagle was great for longer stays but we were doing a lot of short weekend trips and after seeing a mates 17 we saw how easy they are to setup. I'll be sure to post some pics. Anyone have any advice or ideas for other extras I should consider?
Hi Mearsy,
I've just picked up the same van and am as happy as a pig in s@*t.
Unlike Tim and Trish, I went with the rear dinette. I like the idea of the lids having their own area to sit and draw /read/ipad etc. you can still convert to a lower bunk, but it means I don't get the storage a fixed lower bunk would offer. One thing that was interesting at handover ( something I can remember
) is that you can fold the top bunk back, and use its mattress to make the lower bunk into a lounge. I also added two reading lamps under the top bunk to better illuminate the small dinette area.
Also, as per TTs point, I have found storage is a little tight, including the small front tunnel boot. The extended drawbar will allow a toolbox to be mounted to fit BBQ, hoses, tools, flooring, shade walls etc. this will be one of my first mods.
The other extras I added were roof mount solar, a drop down picnic table, and an external TV point, an external shower, and a light above the external shower.
