Hey All,
We have been here for a while now, as frequent readers will know. We ordered our van in March and it is due any day. (I think it is here, but i asked them to hold off as long as they could when it got here as our camper had not sold. All going well, i will give
it away tomorrow)
Addtions we went for, (roof AC / arwning now std)
Wineguard Antenna
Ext Shower
Ext Table
Extended Drawbar
150 Ltr Fridge
Gas Oven
Deleted Microwave
Went for the bottom enclosed bunk, over the table. Don't really need 2 dinettes and gives more storage.
I think this was about that order.
So, this is the fun part, what we plan on doing to it as it will not be standard for too long.
Solar 260W(already here waiting)
Battery x 2 120 amh (already have waiting)
All the charging gear (here waiting)
Control Panel (have ordered online)
LED lighting (additional)
Stereo int & Ext (here waiting)
TV (here waiting)
Shelving in parts
Front storage box, on drawbar
Custom drop down bike rack on rear of van.
Down the track, (not to far after i finish) I will change the hitch height and go on top of the chassis. Once i put 2 battery's, fill the tanks up and fill the front box and bikes that will take care of 350kg of the 400 pay load. So, I will also get the van re-engineered, this will also cover off on re-welding a plate for the hitch. As i am am a fitter buy trade any mods that i need to make to meat the new requirement will be pretty easy.
I am lead to believe that the Jayco chassis is pretty good, but most likely needs some gussets on the draw bar transition point. From the numbers i have it will not be to expensive, but i can change my mind once drawings are done if there is to much required. I would rather do this for my own piece of mind on Insurance (if i ever need it)
I think this is it, i will be sure to add pictures as i go if i am not so busy stripping the new van.
