2017 Carado Axion
Basic Info Smallest production self contained RV in N. America since the Roadtrek Popular 170. Made my Hymer N. America, now defunct. Based on Ram Promaster 136" WB High Roof van. The new Thor Scope seems to have the same layout and platform.
Exterior
2017 Carado Axion Exterior
Flip-up cargo platform. Helps make up for having not much storage due to short overall length of van. Added hoop steps to cab doors.

Interior
Fixed the drawer latches so the drawers don't open when we round corners. Swapped in a custom-cut memory foam-based mattress for the stock foam in the lounge that's used to make our bed. From Mattress Insider. Also have 2 slim-fit 2 1/2 gal. drinking water containers that go in the window behind the lounge. Got them from an aquarium supply company (!). Otherwise pretty stock.

Renovations and Repairs
Had the underhood auxiliary generator installation tweaked, and the electrics gone over to make up for somewhat slapdash assembly from the factory. Microwave went bad--also due to poor installation--had it replaced with custom mount redone and plastic panel removed to give it more ventilation. Had drawer latches redone along with sliding board latch over fridge.

Favorite Camping Destinations
Tuolumne Meadows in Yosemite, Van Damme in Mendocino, Sugar Pine Point in Tahoe, Pinnacles s. of Hollister, Pfeiffer Big Sur, Stillwater Cove in Sonoma--all in California. Also Yellowstone, Grand Tetons, Zion NP, Bryce Canyon NP, Furnace Creek in Death Valley, Morro Bay, Sand Dunes National Monument in Oregon, Palisades in Oregon N. of Bend, where we saw the solar eclipse.
