Can anyone help me with van storage between Port Macquarie and Wodonga please? Not in the heart of Sydney, and something reasonable as I am on a pension. Thanks.

Is it best to have an under bench water filter fitted when building our van or have it done later? and should water be filtered when filling the tank also? We have been quoted by the builder Network RV that they will need to install another 12v pump and seperate faucet which will cost $695.
