Hello All, we have just purchased our first van!  Very excited, we pick it up on Saturday.  We were a bit stuck with what we could get, we have a 3 year old Mazda cx7 which we purchased brand new, so we were disappointed to find it only had a tow ball weight of 85 kilo which really restricted us.  Anyhow after much searching we found a jayco freedom 14.5 foot with tow ball of 74 kilo, it hasn't been modified or anything and although quite small it will do us for our first van.  It is in perfect condition with only 1 owner and hasn't been used for the past 2 years.  We will be buying some stuff to take with us so would appreciate any help on what we def need to take.  At this stage we will only be doing small trips, 2 weeks maximum from Melbourne up to probably Port Macquarrie and stopping on the way.  One thing it doesn't have is air con, we seriously wanted to add this but have now heard that it may not be advisable in a pop top?  Our van has a rear entry door. 

One other thing, we would like to buy all new bedding, it has a double bed but are these double bed sizes for bedding? Anyone recommend where to buy or just a normal bedding place?  We will keep the mattress but want new doona, sheets etc.

Any advise will be greatly appreciated.
