That fellow is at it again. I guess you have an awning for your van?

An awning is important but don’t buy the sides unless you stay in one place for weeks at a time. We have only used our sides once in two years. A fly screen one may be worthwhile. Look for second hand ones.

From what I can see all the “Standard” ones are six foot wide this seems a little narrow to me eight foot being preferable I would think?

The standard awning is a little small. I believe you can buy bigger ones that can fit your car under if it looks like hail coming.

Wonder what you are using and if so do you ever use sides to enclose the area?

I presume you have the standard version of van not the extended side version do you find the fridge larger enough?

We have a stock standard van. I would like the higher sides as the fridge is a little small.

You mentioned a solar panel guess you had this installed at the time of purchase?

We had the solar fitted when we purchased the van. We have the largest one. They are efficient. Ask Bob the details as to why they are so good.

How effective is the panel and what size panel do you have?


Thanks again

PS: is Bob away?
 Bob and Chrissy are not away – we are going up to Melany with them next weekend.
