And one pice of carpet, the van is so much warmer to walk on.

 

[Tricky]

Love the carpet. What type is it and where did you get it from

 

[Tone]

not sure what the carpet is, cheap? it's a pretty good synthetic loop carpet which I got locally, I planned using carpet squares but would add heaps of weight. I got 2 cut from one run of carpet so I have a spare when it gets dirty with lots of large spare pieces.

After our trip away we decided an external hot tap to fill bucket for washing BBQ, kids and also cold to fill toilet flush tank. The one on the drawbar is a pain under the bed.
I found this and works a treat. Plug hose in with the tap handle with hose and small shower head and you have hot and cold shower. Store the hose in toilet hatch.

Love that mod @Tone

Nice @Tone! Where did you tap into the hot and cold water lines? Got a pic on the other side of the wall?

 

[Tone]

Just tapped into pipes under the floor where it tee's off from for shower/sink. Hole saw cut through the wall took a little over an hr to do.

 

[Aussiejet]

Great simple idea.
On ya Tone!

Made a side table for the BBQ was a pain stealing the kids one and was so low. Works good. Just a chopping board that comes off to wash and pack away. The frame still packs up together under the van as before.

Another mod done. Wall mount for TV to watch the Hawks win.

Got this one off my dad, he did it to his van and it worked really well. The stupid door blind is pretty useless might as well not have a window there. I did this before the GF long weeken. The new blind is just one off spotlight and is SO much better.

Today I decided to change the mains fitting and move it out of the water flap thingy, I hate having to find the key every time I connect/disconnect. Also the standard one seems pretty flimsy and looks like it will break anytime.

While I was at it decided to get rid of the manifold silage set up and just have one. Put a one way valve so shower doesn't fill up with dish water. Time will tell but testing it it works great.

Hopefully that check valve will work, looks like it may need pressure to push through it.
