Hi All, 4 years ago my then husband took out a policy for his Toyota Landcruiser. For reasons of convenience, we used my credit card (in my name only) to pay for the initial premium. A year or so later, he and I split up. When the next premium came due, it again came out of my credit card. I spoke to my now X husband and ALSO CALLED Club 4X4 and told them to please take my name and my credit card away from any association with my X husbands account/policy. They apologised and told me they would do this immediately. The next year passed with out incident. Then this year, on the 7th of April, they again took nearly $2000.00 from my credit card. I called them up to complain and to get the payment reinstated to my credit card. Admittedly I was a little annoyed, but I have to say their response was lacklustre at best. I assumed that they would refund the money back to my credit card. When I called them back to enquire why the money had not been reversed back to my credit card, they told me that the credit card had expired so they were unable to process the refund. (WTF???) This totally begged the question as to how they were able to get money from a credit card that was expired in their system, and also, that they were told by myself (owner of credit card) to remove the credit card two years earlier from this account. To add insult to injury, the consultant then implied that my X husband had run a shonk and had told them to use my expired credit card. He who has no ability to know the numbers on my credit card. They also told me that my name had been spelt incorrectly in this most recent payment. (I had lived with this person for 42 years so it is improbable that he would be unable to spell my name correctly.) All in all it was a pretty disappointing effort on the part of 4X4 to deflect the blame of their mistake on to an innocent party. I found the arrogance of some of the consultants with whom I consulted to be extremely off putting. I had to provide Club 4X4 with an alternate BSB and account number so that they could process the refund. As soon as I have the money safely back in my account, I will sincerely hope that I never need to have anything to do with Club 4X4 ever again. So far theyve had my money tied up for about a week and theyre saying it could be 5-7 working days for it to get to my account. Not good enough 4X4. Not nearly good enough!!! Regards Daz

You’re on the right track. A 120W panel will just cover your usage, but in real-world conditions (heat, shade, angle), you’ll likely see only 60–80W average output. If you're regularly pulling your 120Ah AGM down to 60%, I’d suggest going for a 160W to 200W panel to give you a bit more buffer and ensure full recovery each day. Cheap vs Expensive Panels: Cheaper options ($200–$300) can work, but: Often come with PWM controllers (even if labelled MPPT) May use lower-grade cells Build quality and connectors can be hit or miss More expensive panels ($500+): Use better quality cells (more efficient) Include genuine MPPT regulators Have better build, waterproofing, and longevity Best approach: Consider buying a quality folding panel without a built-in regulator, and use a proper MPPT controller mounted near your battery. This gives you better performance and flexibility. Look for setups with Anderson connectors, and double-check voltage ratings if pairing with your own controller. Let me know if you want help choosing a solid mid-range option. Cheers.

Air bags, or heavier rear springs, do not re-distribute weight, and that is why steering will be floaty. I used a weight distribution hitch on the 100 series, and am now using it on the 300. On a recent trip the ball weight was 330 kg and as at all times using the WDH there is no difference in the feeling of the steering from when not towing. The steering is responsive and positive. There is an unfortunate lack of understanding as to how WDHs work.

Those querying previously about LC300 series with standard suspension and towing issues, did you find that the vehicle could handle 280kg downball weight, towing approx 3100kg double axle van loaded evenly for touring ( heavy stuff near axle)? My LC300 VX sagged at back and lifted at front, making steering totally floaty, even with 30psi inner-spring HD airbag support. Anyone have similar problem? If no, let me know. If yes, how did you solve? Note, I don't want to use a WDH unless absolutely necessary.

Please advise if the van is still for sale. Thank you

untilKilkivan Long Weekend Friday 2nd – Tuesday 6th May 2025 Escape the Election Hoo Haw and celebrate the long weekend at Kilkivan Our Life members Rob & Jewel have once again offered their working cattle property for a gathering. We have lost count of the number of times they have graciously offered their property to us for our events. Please remember that voting in a federal election is compulsory and we advise you to pre-poll and vote before the weekend or arrange a postal vote, however voting on polling day Saturday 3rd of May will be available in the town of Kilkivan. Previous gatherings have been very relaxing and peaceful, with the only worry to decide is which side of the communal campfire to sit around so that smoke is not attracted to you, a big decision in life. Hopefully there will be the usual banter between the menfolk as to who oversees the fire. We hope you will be able to join us as we escape from to the country and abandon our television (except for the footy) and radios to relax and kick back and relax. Details are as follows: · address is 100 Kilkivan-Tansey Road, the driveway is on the left, immediately past the golf club. We will endeavour to have a Kedron flag at the entrance. This is a working cattle property, if you go through a closed gate, close it after yourself. Entry gate to be always closed: - pets are allowed, however must always be under control /lead. - no power or water available, however the township of Kilkivan is approx 2K away & has a dump point and water taps available. Sunday Night camp oven Cook up: Will have a communal camp oven/campfire cook up and share our delights, participation is voluntary. Pack your camp oven and best recipe if you have one you would like to share.

A man had been drinking at a pub all evening, and by the time the bartender rang for final orders he was totally bladdered. He stood up to leave and promptly fell flat on his face. A second attempt ended in the same result, so he figured he'd crawl outside and get some fresh air and maybe that would sober him up. Once outside he stood up and fell flat on his face once more. Giving it up as a bad job he decided to crawl the mile to his home. When he arrived at his front door he stood up and again fell flat on his face. He crawled indoors, up the stairs and into his bedroom. When he reached his bed he tried one last time to stand up. This time he managed to pull himself upright, but he quickly fell onto bed and was sound asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow. He was awakened the next morning to his wife standing over him. "So, you've been out drinking again!" she shouted. "What makes you say that?" he asked, putting on an oh-so-innocent look. "The pub called. You left your wheelchair there."

Yes, we did, had nearly 200mm over two days. Having a deck site was a real blessing. A few caravaners left early due to the amount of water flowing through the camp area.
-
Hope you didn't get caught up in that bad storm we saw going through the area with heaps of rain.
-
We have set up camp at Gumtree Lodge, Howard Qld for a couple of nights to celebrate the New Year. This time we have gone upmarket with a deck site. It is lovely enjoying the breeze off the water and watching the turtles, ducks and water hens. They do forecast storms, however hoping they stay further west from us. Wishing you all the best for 2025.

Merry Christmas and safe travels over the holiday break. Hope you all have a wonderful 2025 exploring our lovely country.

Just replaced the old nylon red dust impregnated insect screens on the 2012 Kedron ATV. Well actually, Paul & Vanessa at “Swap & Stop Midge Screens did!!!! They did a great job and we are very pleased with the results. Recommend Paul & Vanessa’s service! Based in Caloundra, they arrive at your site (we used Dicky Beach Caravan Park) first thing. They remove all the blind/screen window fittings, take them away, replace the insect screens, clean up the blinds, fix up any small tears and return early afternoon to refit on your van, like brand new! Excellent and good value for money!!! Given the option of replacing the entire window blinds/screens by your local repairer this is a no-brainer! Paul & Vanessa 0448911235 pandvarch@gmail.com

Hi Gail. After emptying the cassette, we pour about half a cup of Pine O Clean disinfectant into it, seems to do the trick. Cheers from Pete.

Hi Gail, Yes, there is a certain smell from the contents of the SOG cassette when you empty it, and of course it depends on what goes in as to what comes out. Both number one and two goes into our toilet and the smell can be quite strong, however according to my husband it is better than some of those awful chemical smells. I also empty the cassette and manage just fine, it is not pleasant, however it is not the worst either. The benefit of no odor inside the van when you use the toilet or go into the ensuite was the absolute winner for us. You could add a few drops of an odor netualising agent such as nilodor or V.I.Poo just prior to emptying which may help mask the smell. We always give it a really good clean out with detergent and water. Cheers Penny
-
Hi, I would like to know if the smell from the SOG toilet, when being emptied is very smelly…. As having no chemical I’m worried that when I empty it, it’s going to smell to much. Cheers Gail

Hi All I would apprecaiet any feedback on the Kedron "Compression Hatch" . How effective is it? I've looked at Carafan, Gusto and Dometic. I like the Gusto unit and was prepared to go that way unti I found out Kedron do their own DRS. Thanks for your input
