THE FRONT BOOT
“ A quick family discussion confirmed what we already suspected: the Thredbo still had the best layout for our needs, but let’ s just say I had the longest modification list ever!” Lucy said.“ We’ re incredibly pleased with Hilltop, especially( owners) Dula and Dham. Toward the end of the build process, they were in regular contact to confirm details and customisations. When our new Thredbo arrived, it truly exceeded our expectations.”
Here are just some of the things that Lucy and Sergey modified:
• A hybrid cooktop – half induction, half gas.“ Induction is perfect for sunny summer days, and gas is ideal for winter when we want to conserve electricity,” Lucy said.
•“ We also added a drawer-style dishwasher, which I love! It uses only 6.8L per cycle.”
•“ Because we ski often and leave the van early, we needed a way to warm our thermals in the morning. We installed a pull-out drying rack under the fridge, just above the diesel heater. The area is warm and ventilated – perfect for drying ski gear overnight.”
•“ We removed half the bathroom drawers and replaced them with a large compartment that holds a removable laundry basket. It’ s much more practical than my old system of moving a basket between the shower and bedroom.”
