Apart from fixes, I wonder what other have done to make their 'vans easier to use?

Amongst the many things I have done to mine, are..

1. I have added a 12v piezo buzzer which sounds when the water pump runs. Its a pressurised system and if the barrels runs out, the pump runs for ever more and will burn out eventually.

2. I devised a level indicator, to show when the caravan is perfectly level. It has to be perfectly level for the shower to drain properly. LED's flashing, visible from outside, indicate when it is precisely level.

3. I swapped all of the regularly used 12v spot lights, there are 16, to LED versions.

4. I added an LED to illuminate the 12v panel volt meter, switched by the awning light switch, which serves both to illuminate the panel and warn when the awning lighting is on.

5. I added a satellite dish input in the battery compartment, to avoid the cable going in the the window to the receiver.
