Thought it was about time to say G'day and put up a few pics of the van and some of the Mods I've done to it (thanks for the ideas). We ended up buying new due to someone on here saying you can buy them brand new in the low $40's and after a little digging around this is what we ended up with :)

Welcome @KevO Great looking set up there! I haven`t seen that for the dinette table ,is that just to free up some space through the day and drop for meals? I like the blind too but how do you close the door with no curtain to grab ?:boink:

The idea behind the dinette table is to allow for easier access to put the BBQ in on the floor and to get the shade sale from under the front seat. My next modd should be here this week thanks to @crustt and his clear windows, should lighten the van inside a fair bit

love the role up blind, the only usefor the standard one is to pull the door closed, I can never seem to move it far enough to one side when you actually want to let some light into the van. Barney.

Not sure how long the batteries will last in the cold but is so good to have a light come on as you open the fridge :smile-34:. One way to score brownie points with the wife

Like your blind idea. Is that held down somehow?

Also, what were you standing on to get that overhead pic of your van?

The bottom of the blind isn't held down at all, thought to put an elastic across to stop it blowing in the breeze but hasn't happened as yet
And @paulie484 is correct, quad copter with go pro :)

The mesh netting is from big W, trailer netting large for $40, doubled over.

We have ours in our fridge now for 5 weeks, no sign of flat batteries.
Being LED of course, they work one second and then don't. Replacing once every big trip is ok with me, just carry one set of spare batteries!
