Mr Wato

Hi All Thanks for info,,I open the vent door when ever we stop,I pull out the tray,I have checked the wiring in the back door,we have had the gas levels checked.. surely we dont have to turn it up and down morning and night...I am going to try and contact manufactures. Cheers Phil :confused1:

Hi Glen & Debbie I bought a heavier lead for the tv and it did the job Thank you Phil What a handy site :thumbsup:

Hi All We have the normal 230 vitrifrigo fridge in our T/E, I have put a Remote temp sender (engel brand) inside to try to keep an eye on temp. We Have been losing food due to the fridge not being cold enough.On hot days the inside of the van can get really hot and then so does the fridge. Should I be turning up the thermostat to combat this ??? We currently run the fridge on about 4.. I have defrosted the fridge a couple of times and have been shown how to check for ice.. the warmer the weather is the warmer the fridge is...I have a sixty year old fridge which I have had for 25 years it has always lived in the shed and has always kept the beer cold, I dont even know where the thermostat is !!!! Does anyone have a solution ??? PLEASE Cheers Phil :sad:

hi Bill We Have 2 teac tv's and both are the same..we dont have an issue with the sound when we are plugged into 240 volt.I dont think we could get warranty for this problem even if we tried let me know if you find a better tv/dvd cheers Phil

Hi Tony I dont do heights!!! I have tried before and only gone up a dozen steps. thats high enough anyway...we are heading home on tuesday north to Perth....We are apprentice nomads still have work and kid commitments.. wont be long but Cheers Phil

Hi There Does anyone else have problems with sound from the tv?? we have had the sound drop out both on satellite and with dvd's, we unplugged the 12 volt lead and plugged in the 240 lead and have not had an issue yet. has anybody had the same issue ??? except for Pete N Margie because we are in the same park as them in lovely Wapole Cheers Phil

Hi Reg I had a 80 series cruiser a few years ago. it had a 1HZ engine with a non factory turbo, intercooler and diesel gas conversion, it was money well spent the power increase was excellent. the motor couldn't cool itself as it wasn't designed for so much fuel. I replaced the motor with a 1HDT factory turbo and added gas and it was incredible,power,torque. the only down side was losing a fuel tank to fit a gas tank but I had a 250lt tank fitted in place of main tank.the other down side was finding a petrol station with diesel and gas pumps next to each other.you will not be disappointed with the conversion. Cheers Phil

Hi Petenmargie I think the accumulators are Shurflo I got them from Camec $80 each. realy easy to install, sort of.. If you can contort your self inside out..i do not have any photos yet but will endeavor to. plumbing them is easy the just connect between the pump and taps (fittings). the insulation is just an r2.5 polyester batt. must be available from insulation shop or Gyprock shop..I dont think mouting them on a rubber block is going to help..if you can not find batts try thick towels , I have jamed the insulation in very tight. where are your pumps mounted ? cheers Phil

Hi John my pumps are mounted in a tiny little cupboard under the washing machine. Cheers Phil

hHi Petenmarge I have since fitted accumulation tanks to both pressure systems, this was a little better but I have fitted a polyester insulation batt (lots of pieces actually) under and all around the pumps and this has reduced the noise incredibly. I had the a/c on the other day and had to get on my knees to here the pump, it is that quiet.. you have to put the insulation under the pump...very happy cheers Phil

Hi Rick What does the warning light warn you of ?? What was wrong with the fridge cheers Phil

Hi Guys Thanks for the help Not realy the fix I had in mind Cheers Phil

Hi Jaygee I have fitted the 6 tonne Mc Hitch to our TE and feel safer knowing it's rated higher than the standard hitch. I prefer to be over cautious Cheers Phil

Hi All I am trying to cut down the amount of noise my shurflow pumps make,,,,I am an early riser and the better half likes to sleep in,, that is until I brush my teeth or fill the kettle. I have just fitted acumalator tanks to both pumps and while this has helped they are still noisey. I have filled the little cupboard that houses the pumps with insulation but to no avail.. Does anyone use different pumps or have a magic wand ??? Cheers Phil

Hi Bryan Have finally finished rear wheel carrier=. i will attach some pic's. cheers Phil

Congrats to you, wise choice, now just for the wait.....we have only had ours for 3 months, yet to do a big trip. we are apprentise nomads good luck Phil & Darlene :thumbsup:

Hi Bryan Thats a lovely piece of art.....bet there was some hours in that ... have done the mods to my wheel carrier, no photos yet, i did not make them swing but did move them. will post some pic's soon Cheers Phil :thumbsup:

Bryan thanks for pic's, I will post some when i have done job cheers Phil

Hi Bryan I am actually going to copy your idea of the swing out wheel carrier. I have bought the arms and am waiting for the spare time (i wish) to start. I am hoping to be able to put a small box between the wheels when done. Do you have any more photo's of yours? would like to see it I am also adding another water tank to rear of van. Cheers Phil

Hi John No didnt get to Albany.. close though Alexandra Bridge near Augusta.. great spot and not busy either at this time of year.We have friends in Albany will call when we are down there.. I think I am going to move the fuel tank and pump when I modify the rear wheel carrier.. I dont think i can carry enough beer to drown out the noise Cheers Phil

Thanks Rick but I know there is a wire there..
