The Next Stage Of Our Adventure

[gwadir]

Hi All,

Well the Trak Shak has sold so now it's down to business with sorting out what options we want on the new panda. As said previously we are going with an 18-57.6, the financial controllers (Jackie) only stipulation is don't over spend the budget, so these are my thoughts;
- TV Bracket (No TV we've already bought a Kogan 22"LED)
- CD/DVD/Radio with iPod connectivity (the dealer says we can still get this one)
- 100AH Battery
- Solar Pre-wired (decided to install 2 x 150Watt panels from Low Energy Developments myself after some good advice from Burnsy and Mike7, thanks guys big saving there)
- External Speakers
- Fiamma Bike Rack
- Simplicity Suspension
- 184L Upgraded 2 door Fridge
- LED Lights to bunks (if not already installed)
- Extra 12V outlet and 240V outlet to each bunk
- 12V, 240V and aerial outlet under awning
- RV Control Panel
- External Fold Out Table
- LED light to the off side (for late night set ups)
Now for the maybe's
- External Shower
- Extended Drawbar
- 2nd External Fold Out Table (thanks for that one ROnEM)

Awning and A/C are a given since they are now standard

After reading the threads with regards weather proof privacy screens and talking to the guys at Holiday Annexes we have decided to get our annex and privacy screen from them (hope you don't mind Newcastle Knight but we are going to copy you with the clear covers velcroed over the windows for those wet days to let light in).

Heaps of mods in mind for after we take delivery, can anybody think of any pro's or con's with what we have in mind.
Thanks for listening

Sounds like a great list of extras. Well done and all the best!

Yep good list there mate, I also had a 2nd annexe light fitted which are led and I find the two lights great. Ours was a September 2012 build and all lights were led except the ceiling lights, shower and bed end which I replaced, so your bunks will have led. Good choice with the fridge/freezer.....you can never have too much fridge space, I'll look forward to your pics

Cheers.

Hi Mike7, Thanks for that, look forward to getting some photo's up down the track.

Hi Kenshi123, Thanks for that.

Hi Burnsy, Thanks, I've actually already purchased a 5M roll of LED strip lights, the 5630's 8400 Lumens that I intend to install under the roll out awning once we get the van (got them off ebay, thanks to mrhappi & stuartcarr2002)
