17' Series Stuff I love in my van, not mods just useful stuff!

[michelle menzel]

Thought i'd start a discussion about things that l use in the van that l love, they're not mods but l'm interested to see what other peoples favourite things are too xx

First thing l'll mention that l love is my memory foam bathmats and dish drainer, the bathmat dries by itself without being hung out, i use one inside the shower area so you're not stepping on a wet floor during the night; and one outside... Also love the memory foam dish drainer too, l place it on the stove glass and sit the kettle on it while were travelling and it doesn't move.

After the last few cold nights away, we love our small ceramic kenwood heater.
Set the temp you need and it keeps the whole van at you're perfect temperature. It swivels automatically so heats both ends equally.

Mrs CR wants to know what is a memory foam dish drainer. She has bought an Aldi dish mat which is a foam type thingy but is not sure if that is what you are talking about.

I'm just looking at heating options, where did you purchase this from?

 

[Moore Family]

It's currently on special in target for $69
Small, light weight, powerful and shove it in a draw when it's not in use.

We have not used it yet, only bought it a couple of weeks back and have not had the van out. It does not mention memory foam on the label so we did not think it was the same. It is good to know it will be useful.

Did you happen to buy the bath mat from Aldi, they were on the same week?

I just bought a spare one on catch: http://www.catchoftheday.com.au/eve...ry-memory-foam-small-bath-mat-charcoal-303079

No, she saw it but did not buy so maybe we watch for next time.

Another favourite is the breville maker, have both the electric and the campfire ones, especially good when the bread's not so fresh

For those that are looking for this, it is a Kambrook not a Kenwood.
