tigger rig - inside tour



Inside view of the van. Bed is a queen size, but Maria still likes the middle.

Glass shower cubicle is quite spacious, even if most of the time to conserve tank water you hose down, turn the water off while you soap up, then hose off again. Its a luxury on site when you have mains water and power to let it run and enjoy it.

Slider is 11 1/2 feet across and the centre section of the sofa folds out to make another 5ft bed with an air mattress, although access from only 1 side.

1 1/2 sinks make it easy to leave washing up until the evening, and all the countertop stuff like kettle and water jugs sit in the sink while we're on the move.

cooker has 4 gas burners, grill and oven - maria has made her first loaf of bread and it was very good for both sandwiches and toast. Microwave/grill only works on mains power, and so far the only thing it has been used for is to melt some butter.

We got a 2 ring electric hob to use when on mains power instead of the gas

fridge and freezer currently hold lots of dead cow as we got a deal at the farmers market in Quinns Rock on a whole rib-eye fillet of beef, so I cut that up and should be good for red meat until the other side of the country.

32" TV comes up out of the desk by the door, but is mains power only, or we have a 26" 12v one that clips on the outside of the van

I picked up a yamaha generator that can power all the electrics including the air con for when we are free camping. We've used it to watch TV/movies a couple of times, but half the time we don't bother as yet. That will change when we head north to the humidity
