Sharing our best hacks which made life so much easier on a recent Matariki vanning trip.
Pre-charged battery-powered mobile light (supplementing the solar power system which has less charging ability in winter): we used GlowRight magnetic sensor lights (pictured) plus Ozito battery pack work-lights which also charge our devices, having an external USB.
Karcher window vac (100 min) battery powered, pre-charged. Awesome for removing morning condensation from the windows. Happy with this new purchase thanks for a Mitre10 discount.
Good bathmats and old towels for the floor. Also a couple of fast dry towels because there’s nothing worse than wet towels hanging around.
Magnets! The best way to dry bathmats and towels was to use magnets to stick to the outside of the vehicle when it’s windy, not raining.
Square jigsaw rubber garage floor / ground mats to put under the wheels, for extra traction reversing out of softer ground, to reduce slipping and damage.
An extra layer of wool blanket under the bed sheet and mattress protector made for a much cosier sleep.
