This 1984 model Millard XP-6 came to me as an unused unloved caravan. With an east/west rear bed, side kitchen, 3 seater side lounge and a 'U' shaped front dinette the owner said it was totally un-usable for two people. After a brain storming session the design was finalised. The instructions were; for the outside; new windows all round and a new door, re-paint the outside of the van, a black padded stone guard, new LED awning lights and new decals. On the inside is where the biggest change happened storage was the request, twin single beds with storage drawers underneath and a centre bedside unit with robe, the kitchen was then made into an 'L' shape with 100 litre fridge, pantry with all the 12 volt electrics down the bottom, large sink unit with stainless steel sink and flick mixer, two standard drawers and one pot drawer full stove/grill/oven combo and stepped side cupboard. The dinette was created by using the end of one of the beds and a separate seat with storage under and a tri-fold table. A new water pump and gauge were added as well as a 120 watt solar panel to charge the battery whilst free camping and travelling, and a Jack TV antennae for the times when you want to connect with the world. 12 volt power was used throughout the van for the LED lighting and various charging points. 240 volt power is now only used when in caravan parks and at home for the fridge, battery charger, and power points.
