home.

Unit is insulated and fly screened.
able to have change room off rear and has awning with screened annex over kitchen.Have another awning and privacy wall on bed side.
roof basket for firewood on rear of canopy allowed for RTT on front of canopy but RTT hasnt been required.so a 80 watt solar panel sits there instead
under tray toolboxes for tools/recovery gear etc ,60 litre undertray watertank,2 jerry cans mounted under sides of tray provides fuel capacity of 220 litres.
Can fit another 5 jerry cans under tray if 2nd spare also relocated to canopy .this gives total of 320 litres for really remote trips.
