Got ours from Good Guys at Warner's Bay Lake Macquarie NSW.
Leave it on when van not being used. Live in tropics & used to get mildew in van. Not any more.
Have also installed them in the bathrooms at home. No more mildew or damp towels.
cheers
Graham

We have a rear entry van that had the spare wheel on a post on the drawer bar. I considered that to be too much added weight to the tow ball.
So had a swing away wheel carrier made for it to be located and swung away from over the rear door.
It has transferred about 30 kilos from the front to the back and gives some rear protection at the rear.

I'm always keen on new ideas or getting ideas from others that really making camping or vanning that much easier. Sometimes the simplest and cheapest ideas are often the best.
I fitted a hot water tap to the drawbar adjacent to the cold water tap.
to the drawbar.
I sliced into the hot water line under the hot water cylinder, fitted the T, ran the hose under the floor then attached the tap with a further screw on guest fitting. A couple of screws had the tap mounted and voila - hot water up front at relatively low cost.
Look forward to hearing of others.

Hi jessdogster,
I always enjoy reading your posts, and its good to see folks have a go at things for themselves. It also gives you an understanding of how to put things together and will certainly help if you get an emergency on the road.
I can't add to the list except to say if it exists and can be installed, I seem to have it have it..... :D
