  1. I have a 2008 Yamaha 15hp 2 stroke s/s in good condition and a Belco Cooper folding boat trailer with suspension for sale, Contact Neil on 0428732514.
  2. Hi Chris, We are not giving up travelling for good, we will just travel in winter, mainly north to the gulf. Tenterfield is a great place, liveable summers,wineries,freindly people and a good golf course. Neil and Julie.
  3. We Have settled in Tenterfield and are selling our rig, our van is an 07 21ft Top Ender in silver will all the extras ins diesel heater. We also may sell our 08 GXL Cruiser ute which has too many extras to list, we also have a 3.5 metre Quinnie and 15 hp Yamaha and folding boat trailer with suspension and boat loader. If anyone is interested I can answer any questions on 0428732514 and will e-mail photos. Neil Gale.
  4. Hi Rob, I am pretty sure that you will find that if you have a GVM upgrade that you can still only have a GCM (gross combination mass) of 7000kgs that leaves only 3300kgs for the van and it doesn't take much to get to that. Neil Gale.
  5. Hey Kimbo, They need that grunt for pulling out those heavy bogged 200 series. Neil. :biggrin:
  6. Hi Tolley, Had Bridgstone A/ts on our Patrol For 5years and had 1 puncture and did the Gibb Road, Savannah way,Mereenie loop and the plenty of other roads including the Cape and got 70000Klms out of them. I paid $230 each for them,and if you divide the klms by the dollars thats pretty good,also they are a slightly softer compound so handling is better and less prone to the chipping most American brands get, also you could try the new Yokohama Geolander a/t-s we have had them on our Cruiser for 35000ks and touch wood very happy. Hope this helps as most people just believe what the ads say, and I think it is very important to rotate your tyres and keep them balanced and RUN the right tyre pressures!!! Good luck, Neil Gale.
  7. Hi Niels and Cynthia, We are in Franklin and heading to Cockle Creek for a week or so and want to do the Bruny Island cruise and wonder if your offer still stands for somewhere to park the van, if so could you let us know your phone# by e-mail neilgale47@yahoo.com or our mobile is 0428732514. Neil and Julie Gale.
  8. Hi Fellow Travellers We will be in Tassie from the 30th of November till the 10th of April, so we look forward to meeting any other Kedron owners down there. Neil and Julie.
  9. Hi Reg And Fran, I would suggest Peach trees Campground about 40klms nth of Kilcoy $4.85 pp pn water no power, toilets,bushwalks, it would be good for a shakedown tour as it has a bit of dirt, I would even take it up another 20klms then return as if you have anything loose this will find it also, check for dust inside. I would'nt recommend a Caravan Park,I'd bushcamp so you use your solar,water pumps and general self sufficency, also you have a bit of a climb up a range(black top) to make sure towing setup, brakes etc are how you want them. Great Travelling, Neil and Julie.
  10. Hi King and Deb, We will be going to King Ash Bay near Borroloola for 3-4 mths from June, so call in if you get there. Neil and Julie Gale.
  11. Hi Bob and Di, After much research I found ALL ALLOY CREATIONS at Brendale,Renee is the owner,he is a great young bloke quality work good price. Neil.
  12. We just said goodby to my trusty Nissan Patrol(long live the Patrol)after 4 years of touring and dragging 4 odd tonne around Oz, she went to a good home in Newcastle. Now we are just about ready to resume our wanderings in a couple of days and will slowly head south to Mitta Mitta which we are really looking foward to, We have attached some pics. We just hope the new Cruiser is as reliable as the Nissan has been. Neil and Julie. :thumbsup:
  13. Thanks Jody and Kimbo,I'll give him a ring. Neil. :thumbsup:
  14. Hi All, I am looking for the guy that does the upgraded GVM plates for the Kedrons,I don't need it for my van but for something else,it was a forum topic on the old KOG site. Hope someone can help, Neil Gale.
  15. Hi Peter and Tracey, I must admit I am a Nissan man,but with a standard engine they are a bit of a slug,i would suggest you go to a diesel specialist and get a 3inch exhaust and a k&n filter and maybe a biiger wheel in the turbo, this would set you back around $3000 and you have a new car that would do the job. In nearly 4 years on the road I have had no dramas with the Patrol, but now Nissan have lost the plot and don't have anything to pull a Kedron with. Hope I have been able to help, Neil. PS The Patrol running gear is much stronger and has a better offroad ability than the Cruiser9[iFS]
  16. I have just listed my 6.5V8 Chev powered Patrol for sale, it has everything for offroad touring and serious 4wding if you want it, it has never let us down and would be a great vehicle for somebody,to replace this vehicle if you could would cost over 120k. It is in the classified section, at King Ash Bay for 3 more weeks before heading to Brisbane, if anyone is a serious buyer, the only reason we are selling is we need a ute. Neil
  17. Hi Lea and Rick, We have the same problem, we have put clear sticky tape over the little vents [top and bottom] and that stops them but, you would think that since most Caravan manufacturers use these windows there should be a way to fix this problem. Neil and Julie.
  18. Hi Chris and Val, We are in WA 150 klms sth of Perth. We have the same size gennie box as you, you have to take the slide out[4nuts& bolts] and then it fits, you have to take the gennie right out of the box because the heat that is generated from the exhaust of the gennie will not help performance of the gennie. We would rather be cool than put up with the smaller gennie, on Boxing Day it was 47.5 outside and we were inside 27 watching the cricket NO CONTEST!! Happy Travelling, Neil and JULIE.
  19. We have been on the road for 3 years and are on our second Kedron, and can say that we had a Honda 2kva and it would not run the a/c and we turned everything off. This is a common problem, we went to Honda in Adelaide they kept it and tested it for 3 days and admitted that after 10 minutes or so the gennie gets hot and there is a drop in voltage and that is what happens, some people take the sides of the gennie off to keep them a bit cooler but that defeats the purpose of having a gennie if you have to do that to work the a/c. Not everyone has the problem or admits it but it is far from being an obscure problem, we sold our Honda and got a new Yamaha 2.4 for $1750 and on any hot day it does what it's required to do it bloody works all the time. The only down side is it weighs 11 kilos more than the Honda, a price I can live with!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cool and comfortable, Neil.
  20. Hi Roger, That sounds like a good trip - will definitely consider going!!!!!
