I absolutely agree with you about having a toilet in your van I have a porta potty & it was a real game changer I also think having a shower in your van whether it be a portable shower or a bidet or whatever is important too

Well done Deano, great important list especially the last being a first aid / snake bite kit, love your work have a great week 👏

Hi Deano... great ideas and yes please would definitely like to hear more. Storage and hooks are super important and Id add occy straps and cable ties too... always handy for securing things down. Like you said the list could go on for days but its great hearing ideas from seasoned travellers like yourselves. Thanks again 😊🌻

Had made a checklist, but will now add dustpan, fan, wipes and hooks to it. Thank You. Didn't think of those! What do you think about small fan heaters?

Hey Adam & Deano, a great list.
Defn fan, dust pan+broom, storage tubs (bathroom esp) use baby wipes for pups too & we like the window wipes from Aldi (about $2) great for bathroom mirror, windscreen etc as they have a alcohol & evaporate.

Hello Dean, Adam and Twyla. Thanks for another great vid guys. I have to ask where you got the fans from. I have two sirocco fans installed in my caravan and I do have a larger portable fan for outside as well, but I really like the ones you have and think they would be a great addition to the caravan. Also, boys where did you get the microfiber towels from. I have normal towels but agree that they take up storage space for sure and microfiber do dry much quicker than normal towels. Adam, I heaps agree with you about the flynets, OMG who wants to be eaten alive by mosquitos and fly's ay. So, where can I buy one ? While I'm at it where did you get the storage unit from ? I have plastic containers similar to yours from Kmart (love Kmart) for all of my cupboards but I luv the storage for clothes. Thanks again Dean and Adam, Twyla. Luv the vid's boys and information you both share. Cheers Richard
