Having a 4 year old opens me up to a myriad of delights including unicorns. Bluey is great though - you might relate to the dad, Bandit. I could imagine him driving a Swamper.
Depends on your definition of wholesome….
They sure are. My best friend has an Aussie cattle dog. A female and a real handful but in a good way. Don't think I could cope with a male (and that's coming from someone who had a male Rottweiler).
He has Starlink, what he doesn't have is the sun to power it, and that Starlink dish is one power suckerPersonally, if money was no object, i'd be grabbing myself a Starlink straight away, and just utilise the van as our home router too

Downside is that whenever the van leaves the house, so too would the CCTV connectivity and smarthome functionality - along with any hopes of anyone at home getting their fix of Bluey and Netflix
Please. Atleast get the name right....
Honestly, every California owner could relate to the episode about getting stuck behind 'Grey Nomads' (white whales) and not wanting to pull over incase you get trapped behind the one you just spent ages trying to overtake on backroads.
I fully expect to see you sporting one of the soon-to-be-released Starlink mini dishes next summer up in Furka

I think the idea is that will no longer be necessary, and the mini is rumoured to use a lot less power (although I'm sure speed will take a hit). But don't want to derail this thread. Sorry OP, I'll go back in my cave now
This is a rambling thread loosely based around Swampers, coffee, canoes, flower decals, wheel/tyre nerdery and general banter. Therefore the introduction of Starlink/connectivity is suitably manly to qualify!

In Ascot Grey no less.
I saw an Ascot Grey T Roc this morning. It’s definitely a cool colour. Itching to be swamped.

I like the rail mounted privacy room. Like you most likely as a changing room for her indoors.I’ve attached an overland style privacy room to the passenger side awning rail (strategically positioned above the kitchen window). Deploys in seconds, doesn’t take up precious space inside the van (which is better used for fire making and other manly tools). I’ve paired it with a compact foot pump shower bag. Again takes up no room, can work as a solar shower when the sun is blazing.
In reality the privacy room sees more use as a changing room for the beach or as a toilet tent.
I only really use the rear cold water shower for outdoor washing up, hosing down the dog or sandy beach feet. It doesn’t have enough pressure for much else and soon depletes the 35l tank on longer trips. I’m still glad I have it though.
This is the shower I use. They do a bigger one but 11l is a decent shower for one adult or enough to hose down a couple of nippers!

I’m checking out your suggestion.Score I upgraded my van to the Club Joker with integrated hot shower I was a huge fan of RinseKit. I own almost every version they have. They offer 2 different types of heaters. One is an immersion heater that takes time (and power) to heat up. The other is just favorite called the Hyper Heater and it uses propane. I modified it to use a 907 bottle as I always carry a spare. You do have to ship these from the USA however. I use Stackry.com for that as a freight forwarder and consolidation.
If I was to do it now on a Cali this would be my kit:
On the C rail opposite of the awning:
