So far we have done the customary first night set of a stay on the back lawn, a weekend up to echuca, a weekend up to swanhill, the easter break free camping on a private spot near kirwins bridge near nagambie. Thisweekend were of to bright murtleford area to have a look around. Still just feeling our way with the new rig but very pleased. We have done a couple of small mods so far, selves to the pantry and robe cupboards as storage space is at a premium with 4 kids and a missus, table storage to back bed, put a couple of peices of alum angle and staps on there to hold in place so I only have to get it of if I want.
Next mod is a swing away bike rack for the back and a box on the front that will house a slide out fridge (beer fridge) and BBQ, both still in design phase

Thanks everyone for the great feedback.

Just had a weekend away in Bright at the Bright holiday park, great park and the whole town looked amazing with all the trees in full autum colour, just a short stroll into town and nice creek running through the middle of the park. We are getting better with set up/pack up and are rapt with the van.

Just some early pictures of boxes on front for BBQ and fridge
Can I ask why 2 boxes, and not just 1? We want to put an engle (actually we have 2 40L and want to put both in) in the box when we get ours ( both caravan and box). Also, how is your fridge hooked up to power, and do you have a fan in the box to keep it cool?

The reason for 2 seperate boxes is so that my gas bottle can sit back as far as possible and I can still get it out with bed down, I also didn't want fridge power in same box as BBQ in case there was any gas some how still in system, I am putting another battery and charger in van and have already rejiged wiring in van to get to seperate charge circuits from car to van, I will be putting a filtered fan vent in fridge box and I filtered vent in BBQ box. I had to use my 35 little ARB fridge as heights were very tight so just check dimensions before you buy fridges. We have a paradox tow vehicle and with this I can still open door all way and turn at full lock with out hitting so very happy with set up, the only issue I had with two seperate boxes was that I had to build a frame underneath them to give support.
