Have you got - manual and auto switch? either way though if you have a leak somewhere the compressor should be turning on to replenish the air tank .

And another repair done in Perth . This time related to our airbag suspension. Been leaking slowly now for some time and I have been under the van I don’t know how many times with soapy water spray as well as inside at the controls with no joy . Airbag man suggested I contact Midland 4x4 in Perth and I’m pleased to report that they have fixed the problem. We had a leak on the self leveling arm which apparently was hard to detect. I received terrific service from this company including a call the next morning to see how things were going. John

Hi Leeance, still love our 200 series, and have found that driving around town is great .No body roll and very responsive. Always a pleasure to drive including when towing. We just completed a 8000 km trip up north, dusty roads so she had a birthday done professionally looks like new again . Congratulations and enjoy your new ride . John

Another perth repair recommendation . Vitrifrigo Fridge stopped working, contacted Selective Fridges 3 Cessna drive in Jandakot . Arrived 8 am on our way 8.45. Replaced the main control box . In stock on time good price great service.

Hi Newby , we have a 2008 Top Ender an east west bed set up with the combo ensuite at the front of the van . Very happy with this . Also have air bag suspension . One of the first ones Kedron provided. Actually this one was made before they started to offer them . The van was made for a couple in Brisbane we bought it second hand in 2010 and have never regretted it . John

Looking at new caravan insurance with lay up . Any recommendations welcome with maybe some history of a claim please. John

The Stone stomper goes under the drawbar from the rear bar attachment to the front of the caravan. We never had the mud flaps Kedron are using now . However in my opinion the Stone Stomper would be more effective than mud flaps under the Stone guard.

We have the stone stomper and very happy with it . Also have the Kedron fitted stone guard but could easily take that off as no stones whatsoever flick up from the land cruiser. The Stone Stomper also keeps the dust down low . Also stops the stones flying back onto the tow vehicle. John

Hi Pete , we have, since this post started purchased a new 200 Sahara and had both GVM and the 4 t tow kit installed by Lovells and couldn’t be happier with the vehicle. Handles very well towing and on its own. No or little body roll is felt .We also have installed torque converter and a chip . Towing around 3.6 t we are getting around 19 lt per 100 sitting on 100 klm per hour. But around town 15 so not much different. That’s the only downside I recon . John

HiPhil and Katirna , we installed: remap and torque converter and are very happy with both . The remap gives us a little more power and the torque converter makes towing our heavy Kedron Top Ender a breeze . Sure it was easy before in 2016 200 series but it now holds it in gear for longer periods plus a substantial fuel saving .Its now a much smoother ride . We also have the Lovells GVM and tow kit installed. Sure it’s all costly, but in our case the land cruiser is our about town vehicle as well and suits us very well .

We recently purchased a Altech tv with built in vast system thinking that because it’s all in one must be better but very disappointed with the speakers . They sound very tinny . Our local techno is looking into trying to connect the tv to our speaker system in the ceiling. I’m also sorry now that I ditched the old Phonex tv fitted by the factory . Also waiting for any suggestions. John

Hi Rob I had Terry I from mannum install our lithium system nearly 4 years ago . Great service and back up. Replaced 3x 120 with 600 amp . Looking back 400 would have been ample . Can’t help you with Itec world other than ,Go Lithium!!

Just had some excellent service from two companies in Perth , both at the caravan park so mobile. 1: Terrsat Pty Ltd ( Mile) repaired our Auto sat which was not behaving as it should have, basically some worn parts after 10 years and serviced the motor like new now . 2 Nexus 1 Caravan Plumbing and gas (Steve ) repaired and serviced the Suburban Hot Water system . I can recommend both guys, both professionals in there field AND arrived at the caravan park on time . No connection to either just recommend them John

We also had a Mchitch auto was happy with it when connected but all sorts of trouble when trying to hook up on a angle, which I need to do when parked at home . We invested in a Lovells tow kit upgrade and was forced to use the Hitch Easy and wow what a great bit of kit . Easy to use no problems at all when coming in on a angle. I am glad with the change over on our Topender .love the Hitch Easy.
