Hey Guys.

I have been pretty slack, but here are some pictures of the new beast, we are heading up to Merimbula next week, so should get some proper pictures then.

I did my first mod today, built some shelving in the 2 wardrobes. I bought a sheet of laminate to match my interior from Jayco, i also bought the 45 degree block things to make it easier...

For a cost of $55.00 altogether i think they turned out well.

Welcome. Good job with the shelves - I need to look at doing something like this, too (at the moment I just have those hanging shelf units in there).

Wardrobes are ridiculous - if you need/want to be wearing clothes that need to be hung up to keep the wrinkles out, you should probably rethink your camping activities, haha!

:fencing:I don't know, I love my wardrobe. Maybe its because we have another one on the other side of the van which has shelves. But I keep my winter dressing gown, jackets, tv (for travelling), shoes, shirts for going out. We went to Jindabyne last winter to ski and it was full of ski jackets, pants, boots etc. etc. Wouldn't be without my wardrobe!! Oh by the way welcome Vaughan!!!

We are the same. Just had to change the hanger bracket so that all was accessible rather than the first few items at the front!

Ohh, yes, sorry I meant hanging space... :doh: I think shelves are a much better option, but a wardrobe is a must.
