  1. Hi All I replaced the Hyland with a Hitchmaster DO35 and wouldn’t change it for quid’s as even the crow can hook up. Happy Wife Happy Life. :biggrin: Bryan :thumbsup:
  2. Thanks to all for the information. Cheers Bryan :thumbsup:
  3. Hi Has anyone had any experience with thermal cookers? Bryan
  4. Hello anyone out there? All gone quiet on this thread!!! is the brand of replacement battery a dilemma or a secret? Bryan :confused:
  5. Hi Guys This is what I use, one set on the car one on the van. Never had a problem with them and they worked ok when I had a faulty valve stem in the L/H front tyre of the tug. When I purchased them they were about $100.00 a set, depending on freight these could be a steal. http://cgi.ebay.com/SECUTIRE-WIRELESS-TIRE...=item5643aa197f Cheers Bryan :thumbsup:
  6. Hi All I may need new batteries also, But what brand? :confused1: Any ideas? Bryan
  7. Hi Guys Not only do I have to rewire it looks like we need new batteries, question what brand??? Cheers Bryan & Erna
  8. Russ Any chance I could obtain a copy of your wiring drawing? Bryan
  9. frizza Check out Optima batteries as the two red top I fitted put out 800cca each and cost $316.00 a piece plus freight. http://www.batteriesdirect.com.au/shop/pro...optima-34-.html Bryan :thumbsup:
  10. Hi Kimbo/Frizza ARB had installed a dual battery controller and a solenoid to separate the two starting batteries in my 100 series tug. The problem I found was, if either battery is low on power forget starting it’s not going to happen. I scanned the net for information and finally bit the bullet; pulled out all the wiring ARB had installed and fitted a 3rd battery with a Redarc Smart Start Dual Battery Isolator. Defiantly not a straight forward job as the vehicle has AHC and I had to fabricate the battery cradle and relay mounting brackets to suit. All accessories apart from the brake controller now run thru auto reset circuit breakers and or fuses from the 3rd battery; I also fitted dual fused relays to the driving light and fridge circuits. Cost 3 Batteries 1023.00 1 Redarc Isolator 90.00 6 Auto reset circuit breakers 54.00 6 Circuit breaker covers 36.00 2 Dual fused relays 82.00 Heat shrink 48.00 Split plastic conduit 32.00 Cable & zip ties 45.00 Terminals 54.00 2 ANL Gold Fuse Holders 28.00 2 ANL Gold Fuses 28.00 Steel 10.00 Total 1530.00 Cheers Bryan
  11. Thanks Russ great stuff, I guess that will be the next project. Bryan :thumbsup:
  12. Hi Russ How did you go about insulating the fridge cavity? Bryan
  13. Our Topender is 5 years old and we now have an electrical problem also.(thank God it happened at home and not out in the never never) The batteries indicate 12.2 volts the solar panels indicate 14 amps charge but the lights won’t operate on 12 volts. If I plug in 240 volts all is well, the lights work on both 240v and 12v. Any ideas on what the problem is? Bryan :confused1:
  14. Hi All On eBay "Clearview" towing mirrors to suit a 100 series Landcruiser Starting Bid $400.00 http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Towing-mirrors-100-...=item3cb4953104 Bryan :thumbsup:

  16. Is it any wonder the police and road transport authorities are checking caravan weights? There has been so much discussion about it on open forums with some seemingly boasting how they are over weight. :confused1: The police and road transport authorities aren’t stupid they read forums as well and if it keeps being poked in their face of course they are going to act. See you at the next weigh point. :sad: Bryan
  17. Hi All I want to install another bayonet gas fitting to the van, anyone know where I can buy one? Cheers Bryan :thumbsup:
  18. Hi Geoff Thanks for the information; I can pick up a disc for $75.00, so I’ll do that and give it a try. Bryan :thumbsup:
  19. Hi Tony I think I may have confused the issue I am referring to TOYOTA WHEREIS 2010 VER 16 GPS NAVIGATION DVD AUSTRALIA http://www.toyota.com.au/toyota/vehicles/p...ok+-+Toyota.pdf Cheers Bryan :thumbsup:
  20. Hi Has anyone tried Whereis 16? Bryan :thumbsup:
  21. Hi I am giving some thought to fitting a snorkel to my 100 series diesel. I would appreciate any information on issues I may encounter and type best suited. Thanks Bryan :thumbsup:
  22. My thoughts are the hitch has nothing to do with weight distribution you either use a WDH or redistribute the load in the van. Comments please. :confused1: Bryan
  23. Phil Finishing touch to the heater tank. Cheers Bryan :thumbsup:
  24. Hi I had the same problem a flat battery and was having a whinge to my brother (a phoenix owner) he advised that the breakaway battery is charged from the tug and it was a common problem if the van has been sitting idle for some time as mine was. I charged the battery and all is ok, :pray: but I now keep an eye on it. I guess as with all batteries the older it is the less charge it holds. Bryan :thumbsup:
  25. Hi Glacier Bill New pumps from this guy $158.00 http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Diesel-Heaters-Spares You will find information on dust and fuel problems and how other vanners have dealt with the problem on this site (thanks to Laurie & Helen) http://www.bushtrackerforum.com/viewtopic....29486806b57f548 Bryan :thumbsup:
