Last camping trip we were blessed with a camp full of bogans next door which led me to think, they could just lift our $350 antenna out and walk away with it. Not any more
As I continue to prepare things for next years trip, thought Id tidy up my fishing storage. Fitted two of these, will hold one rod each, nice and firm.
Got a rear wheel garbage bag made up, a smaller compartment to store hoses in and the large part for garbage. All bags Ive seen are to small, only hold a bag of rubbish. I also had it made with a mesh bottom so itll drain well and should stop from smelling
I have 2 of those rear wheel bags at home
that is a great idea @Moto Mech
finally found a use for 1 of them.................... cheers

Also replaced our smoke alarm with one that has a 5minute hush function as our old one spent more time in draw than mounted on ceiling due to cooking false alarms.
Yes, we found they don't like microwave popcorn.
I still have the one out of the Flamingo (on a shelf in the spare room) found it was just the right spot for it............
Replaced these flares with.....
these, bent them up by hand with left over alloy plate from doing sides of van. Lick of silicone to seal against van and all done
Also replaced our external TV socket with one of these. Some how Ive had nothing but trouble with normal connectors so hope this is the last time I have to

Modded my 9kg gas bottle holder to hold a 4.5kg bottle as well. We only use one 9kg bottle for van now and carry a 4.5kg for webber(plus can use it on van in emergancy) so can now carry it securly but can revert back to big bottle if needed
With our 12mth + trip coming up, Id considered a grey water tank a few times but never wortied about it.
Looking at a lot of free camps on the net it was stipulated you had to contain gray water so knocked one up today.
With no room under van now Ive added an extra tank, on the draw bar tucked in close to van was the only spot left. I used 150mm PVC pipe, with a tap one end to empty it. Will have to put buckets under drains on van the tip into tank but decided that was easiest. Will hold about 50lts.

They may be but ive seen plenty do it this way.
Ive also made all my suspension greasable, drilled all the pivot bolts out, fitted grease nipples and put new bush's in, should ride better and last longer.

Ive search net regarding grey water containing and this article is the best I could come up with. So as long as you catch water and contain it in a sealed container you are ok. So, all should be good.
I thought about doing the same with my pivot bolts as they are getting a bit noisy, apparently you can buy them already done at ISP.
