Hi Simon,
Great topic! I think we all like to see what others have done to their vans. It's pretty never-ending and heaps of fun!
Here we go...
We purchased a 2007 Jayco Sterling Outback 20.64-2 in April 2010.
We decided to do the following upgrades to make it better than new!
Changed the stereo from the standard Sphere to an Axis with colour head face, IPOD input, DVD/ CD/radio, two external waterproof speakers, 2 x 300 watt internal speakers mounted in the cabinetry, 2 x new 100 watt speakers in the roof.
Blaupunkt Amp (1000 watts) in the cupboard. Van now has quality surround sound that can really rock!
Changed Sphere telly to a LCD Kogan 12 volt, 22 inch, including DVD player
Solar panels added 2 x 140 watt Suntech panels
Morningstar Prostar 30 Amp Regulator
2 x new deep cycle 120 A/h batteries
Honda EU 20i generator
Now totally self sufficient
CTEK M300 25Amp battery charger, permanently fixed in the van
Safety Dave rear view camera on the back of van with HD screen and sound
Changed the standard air con to a new Dometic B3000+ reverse cycle air con with LED mood lights and remote
Trail-A-Mate jack and added Trail-A-Mate jacking points - welded onto van
Changed all lights internal and external to LED globes
Projector Inverter 300 watts
Fridge Switch
Computer fan to extract heat from our fridge. Temp sensing, comes on when over 30 degrees celcius
Full annex with screen doors
Caravan cover with two clear windows over the solar panels so they can still keep the batteries charged when the cover is on
Outside drop down picnic table added
Extra annex side external light
Sensor light near door
Saturn TV antenna
Portable alarm in van with remote
Satellite set up -
VAST box, Minimax folding dish, thru the wall connector
Telescopic ladder to reach onto the roof
Magazine racks added
On Yer Bike Folding bikes x 2
12'6"Portabote Folding Boat with 8HP Merc and Minn Kota electric for use on dams, etc when caravanning (no trailer required)
Prodigy P3 brake controller in Pajero
Pillowtop mattress for added comfort
Extra water filter outside in water line - B.E.S.T
Sterling bumper bar with jerry can holder attached
Offside sail track for shadecloth over the other side of the fan (and fridge)
Two handheld CB radios for communicating when reversing into a site (no more arguments!)
That''s about it for now. There's probably more, but I'll add it when I think of it!
Cheers,
Sally
