Right,my caravan buddie is an electrician,which is handy.He's already wired up a double socket underneath the 'van for exterior plugging-in.We're gonna get some underbody neons and suprise the wife and kids on site one day!

I'm looking for ideas though,are there any crazy gadgets i can fit?Would make X-mas easier for the OH.We already have things like Freeview,DVD,flat screen and such like.I'm looking for something impressive,already thought of remote-controlled curtains!!

Write your ideas below!!

     Thing is it gets too hot in there as it is with the heating on!

      On the right line of thinking though!

One thing i did think of was one of those loud audible "THIS VEHICLE IS REVERSING!" thingys heard from lorries.Could be a giggle on site

Like the idea of led lighting,thinking of the front drop-down box especially as that's so dark at times.

One of those moving message thingies in the back window like they had in Top Gear?

Seeing as you are in Essex, how about giant white stillettos mounted on the roof?

How about a big notice stuck onto the cooker saying that your wife will be let off cooking duty for the holiday. A nice big "mans" apron on the worktop and a glass of chilled white wine in the fridge with her name on it.  If that appeared in our van I'd be over the moon I can tell you.

How about full sized blow up reindeers all lit up attached to the front of your van like a sleigh (when it's sited that is).

 We saw a van at Castleton a few years ago like this it kept blowing the leccy, the warden wasn't best pleased.

 Just thought you could put a chimney on it with those Santa feet sticking out lol.

 Wouldn't make Xmas easier for the O.H. but would certainly turn heads.
