Glad to hear it is fixed Colin.
Enjoy the Margaret River region. Hi to Gayleen.

Sounds very much like a fuse Colin. There are a couple of hidden fuses around the battery area, so have a good search there. Otherwise, just go through the line of fuses and replace each one, one at a time as a process of elimination.
We don't have a van at the moment, so can't point you to a specific direction. Perhaps someone else can at least give you the fuse size/colour for the fridge to make it easier.
Hopefully you'll be back up and running before the beer gets too hot.
Enjoy Margaret River and don't forget to drop in to the Vasse Virgin Olive Oil place and grab some of their beautiful Macadamia Nut Pesto. About $12.50 a jar, but is fantastic when mixed in with some fresh pasta.

Yes, I noticed that too John. Very nice feature.
-
Really looking forward to a tour of this baby when it arrives. Sounds fantastic.
Must be close now....
Cheers

Nice to have friends in high places Chris.

I like it. A change is as good as a holiday.
-
Wow Colin. That must have been very scarey for you both. I am so glad it was nothing major and that a further incident didn't occur because of where you had stopped.
Thank you for sharing your experience.

Yes, I believe on a few of the earlier vans Kedron were using Sikaflex. Hopefully you won't have any airconditioning problems. Fingers crossed.
-
And here lies the sole reason Silicone is being used on our roofs instead of Sikaflex. :confused:
Imagine if you had trouble with your airconditioner and it had to come out and Sikaflex had been used.

My question, a big call, should admin delete the thread?
No way John. I was criticised when I was Webmaster for stifling healthy debate when I was trying to protect the forum members from possible defamation.
Let the thread remain !!

Hi Ian,
When moving or altering the weight distribution in a radical way as to reduce the ball weight, I would take it on a long tow test (at speed) and see what the difference it makes.
I have heard of people doing this exact thing, only to find the van tows like a dog (due to insufficient ball weight) and are now madly trying to extend A frames to put large storage boxes to distribute some weight back on the ball.
I am sure there will be those that disagree and say that a light ball weight is a good thing, but in my opinion 10% of total van weight on the ball, is recommended for a reason.
Maybe check with Kedron before you progress any further.

We have that trip on our agenda for 2013. 2012 will be a very slow trip down to the Flinders Ranges in the first few months of the year, and FNQ for winter before returning to Brissie for Christmas.
We spent 3 weeks in Tassie in 2000 and always planned to go back. What a fantastic place and one that shouldn't be rushed.
-
That's interesting about the rain filling the frame and then running in the van. Does anyone else have this issue with their padded covers?
I wonder if you could have some drain holes fitted as an option?

Hi Jackie,
No, you are not doing anything wrong. The Classifieds and Photo Sections (as add on programs to the Forum no longer exist).
The photo section itself had too many bugs and I found myself constantly fixing it to keep it up and running.
There have been a couple of headings added in the "Other Stuff" on the front page of the Forum called "For Sale" and "Members Photos".
Please feel free to add your for sale items (accessible to all Forum Members) and photos (accessible to only Financial Members) there.
Cheers

Thanks for your response Colin. All good to know.
We have some grey awning arm protectors that we will use with the new van. They usually protect them really well.
I do like the coloured vans, but would probably go for the silver light colour. As you say - personal preference.
-
Interesting comment Rod.
We have taken our van over some pretty rough and stoney roads especially in the last 12 months and the only chipping that has occurred is above the front window (this is covered by a padded bra on the coloured vans) and perhaps the awning arms (these are still white I believe).
Does anyone who's had a coloured van for some time have any comments, as we would be interested in the pro's and con's also.

I think this is the document Gary & Kaye were referring to -

Hi Rod & Mavis
That drive down the west coast is just beautiful, isn't it !
What is the overall length of your setup?....that just allowed you on the ferry?
-
Missed a sale by ...... that much. LOL. Congratulations on becoming a Kedron owner. I know you will have many exciting trips ahead of you.
For anyone else looking at a second hand Kedron, ours has 4 panels, 4 batteries, 4 water tanks, 1800w Inverter and frontloader washing machine.
Send me a PM if you're interested and we can talk price.

We are selling our 2004 19' Full Height Cross Country with an ATV chassis plus toilet/shower.
You can contact me at kedronxc@gmail.com for more details if you are interested.

Hi Rod and Mavis,
Glad to hear you are having a great time.
We ran into quite a few "Motorhome Parks" in WA. I think we will see them become more and more popular. We did see on some of the signs that caravans were allowed "upon request" and this usually meant we were given the "be self contained and collect all your waste water" lecture.
Interesting to see pics of motorhomes not doing the right thing though.
We also saw a few of those Eco Toilets on our trip. Someone (who will remain nameless) was saying they were sitting very still have a few quiet moments to themselves and contemplating their wonderful trip, when they suddenly heard a voice "We have detected no movement for several minutes, and the door will open in 30 seconds !" I believe there was a mad scramble to become decent in record time !!
....and no, it wasn't anyone from our van. :laugh: :shutup:

If it doesn't come up from the link Phil provided, just do a seach on the left hand side of the page for the word - Kedron.
-
You are right Colin - there IS a search function in here.
Go back up to the top and under our photo strip you will see the word "Search" between "Links" and "Members". Give it a go. The fewer words the better. ie. search for just "Honda"...not "Problems with Honda Generator".
