Or rather, essentials. Hopefully picking up freshly converted T6.1 after a year of hand wringing, and at times reading obsessively on here!
I’m looking a few necessities initially…the choice is vast and was hoping to get the benefit of other users experience. We have gone for a Westdubs pop top and a Vulcan rock n roll bed, so initial wants are:
1. A topper / mat suitable for use in the pop top for a couple of kids and occasionally one adult + kid. Ideally I’d like it to stay up there but not sure what compromise that leads to comfort and not exactly how much thickness the west dubs allows?
2. A mattress topper for rock n roll bed. Obviously needs to be easily stowable…I’ve seen a silent night one for £35 that seems to pack away neatly. Supposed to be 10cm but not in reality.
3. Wedge cushions that mean you can sit back against the back doors (as I know our bed doesn’t have that option) Ideally these would be inflatable but not seen any that look great but have seen some solid cushion ones that look good…just aware that they’d take up storage space.
4. Porta potty- looking at Thetford 165…would want a box and cushion so it can be utilised as a footstool.
5. Awning with detachable sides (so it can be a simple canop) that fits vamoosh awning rail.
6. Large storage box that fits behind front seats as a general travel box that can be put in awning. I guess preferably one that can be secured to the seats somehow.
I think these are the must haves for now…got some ideas but there’s so much, it’d be helpful to hear about your best buys. I’ll post a couple of pics of the van when it’s handed over
