Hose in/Hose out
Brett posted: I replaced my washing machine inlet hose from Bunnings with a 304 stainless hose. It’s rated to 2100KPA so it will never present a problem in the van. Happy
Urban Caravan Group of Australia and NZ
Good Job Urban
Agnes had Urban fit a slide at construction then had a box folded up for $150 and fitted to the slide. Cantilevered the internal end by about 200mm to give me a good size drawer without damaging anything to get access.

Worth a check?
Glenn shared: A photo of the inside of toilet roof hatch. It looked clean from inside the van, but experience tells me to look close as mould seldom hides in plain sight.
(This is a problem across all roof hatches in all brands).
Bed Bean Bag
Christ asked: Has anyone made a board to cover the window so you can sit up in bed to watch TV, and not damage the fly screen or window?
(Suggestions included a bean bag, closing outside cover and leaving blind and screen away)
Let’s talk composting toilets
Tash posted: Somewhat of a controversial topic I think! We opted to go with the Cuddy from Compocloset in our new Retreat van build & my gosh isn’t she cute
Ian shared I had a build up of calcium in the hot water unit so built this to put 4lit white vinegar in then filled tank. Left it for a day to soak,it cleaned out excellent

What is that?
Narelle asked: Anyone know what this is ??
Answer: If you are at a caravan park with bad reception the park usually has a cable that connects to the power board antenna connection, then plugs into your item circled.
Pool Noodle Wins
Lyn posted: We use a piece of pool noodle cut to fit standing between the glass plate and the roof of the microwave. It never moves.
