Other equipment includes, well, the usual: pop-top, 2 double beds, 1 hamac to be hung over the front seats, fridge (electric) and double gas stove above, closet in the back where they usually put the spare tire, trunk under the rear bench, water container and sink with electric pump, jump seat usually strapped between the front seats (it's also a box which we use for maps, tapes, CDs, etc.), a small bench squeezed between the sink and the rear bench, a removable table, a board that fits between the sink and the stove top to create a large cooking surface, another small table with to be attached to the dash between the 2 front seats, electric hookup, city water hook-up, did I forget anything?
