    second battery and extra 12v ports

    I think We shall go with curly hair, unless she wants to fork out the money to get it done! I suppose an adapter is ok however for a long trip (3months) splitting the draw current will be a nightmare if we've got 2 phones, an IPad, camera, sat nav and in car camera to charge! Especially since...

    newbie and starting a camper conversion!!

    I've thought about an air bed but the issue is we are going for 3 months and probably sleeping in it 5 out of 7 nights a week (the rest in cheap hostels to have a proper warm shower) so it needs to be really comfy so we don't dread sleeping in it! I'm thinking of getting a memory foam mattress...
