We have found the van we like and it suits our requirements in all but, the power supply. We plan to spend most of our time away from caravan parks but not real off road stuff. I plan to replace as much 240 volt equipment that I can and replace it with 12/24 volts. The exception will be the fridge. Is this a go...
