No1.............ditto D4D, got one on each side of camper......just in case.  ;D bloody good mod   :cup:
No2.............ample solar power for most camping trips and led lights to save power.
No3.............2 x 40l Engel fridges, one for food and one for beer drinks.  :cheers:
No4.............Silver tarp covering the camper and annex, helps with the heat and storms are not an issue.
No5.............C Gear Matting, keeps the dirt and crap out of the camper, easy to sweep out and the sand goes straight through.
