Hi David
I don't know about the size of the 3300, but my guess is it wont fit in the standard genny boot. If you are about to have your van built ,I suggest you contact Kedron and see if they will build a boot fit it. I think you will find them very accommodating. But don`t wait to long.
Cheers

G'day Merv
Having exhausted every other method of keeping dust coming in through door vent, we have now gaffer taped an old towel (2 thicknesses)and now hope that it works. We have tried the A.C. filter, Fail! The full coverage with Gaffer tape, Bad fail! and hell to get off.
Taping cardboard over it. Fail!,and plastic garbage bag. Fail!
Good luck
Cheers

Hi Colin
I wouldn`t hold your breath for that to happen. DHs! oops! I mean Polys of all stripes have been promising to seal the Great Central Rd. for about 30 yrs.

Our microwave died when the van was about 12 months and 1 day old. We pulled it out and had Kedron make a cupboard door to cover the hole. And 5 yrs. later we still don`t miss it.

I have used both Wicked and Purple Ally polish. Both do a great job.

Hi Mal& Kerry
We have the same oven as you. They are a heap of crap. The oven works(just) but we have problems with the top burners.2 work 2 don`t. The solution from Tom at Kedron was to give the top of them a couple of sharp raps with the handle of a screwdriver. That worked for a while but now is nogood
Try that with the burner in your stove!!??. Tony and I both tried to get the tops of the burners with a Hex spanner but for some reason they are an odd size so no go there. If we had the where withal I would pull the whole thing out and dump it. I see Kedron don`t use them anymore. Lea wants to beat it to death!

Hi Bondi & Jenny
We used to be in VKS a few yrs. back and found after awhile that they became too big and very political. So we joined with the HF club and found them a lot more social and friendly.

Hi Bondi & Jenny
We have managed with just the 3 panels and batteries and we have been travelling full time for about 5.5yrs. in this van. Never had the need for an extra panel, but we do have a generator for backup. I use a CPAP machine every night and the usual consumption of fridge ,led lights and pumps etc.
In my personal experience with Cooper tyres we found them totally useless under heavy loads, got about 33,000 ks. out of them and they were stuffed.
I don`t think they build them for a lot weight bearing ability. We now use Goodyear Wrangler Silent armour (USA built)and are very happy with their performance.Like Tony ,we also use a Codan NGT HF radio and belong to the HF Club.

G'day Bondi & Jenny
Welcome to the KOG Forum. What ever design Keddy you buy it will be great.
We have had our ATV2 for 5 yrs. now ,and the only things I would add is to have the Inverter hardwired to all the 240 outlets in the van. And a small cupboard under the café table over the wheel well.

Up 'ere is Elands,NSW about 60Ks.West of Taree,up in the mountains. It is beautiful country but at the moment it is very cold and wet
.(100mls in 24 hrs.)and still raining and blowing a gale. We are doing a property sit and have just under 3 weeks to go. The weather here has been very good up till Wed. But, it is nearly winter and we have a lovely fire and plenty of wood. Cheers

Have you ever had one of those months that you wish would hurry up and end?? May ,so far has consisted of the following. We had to do a quick drive up to Brissie and back(620 Ks.each way) because Lea`s Dad was seriously ill in Hospital. All of this she is going on in the middle of a house move for them.
Next,lost a friend through suicide.Lea`s Dad now has to go into high care. And now Lea has gone AOT and broken her ankle. Roll on June.
Cheers
Rick
PS sorry to unload on you all.

If the weather up there is anything like we are copping at the moment, you will all need flippers and snorkels.
And small lids for the wine glasses so that it does not get watered down. But above all SAFE TRAVELS and enjoy.Cheers

Hi Mal
Thanks for the quick reply. I asked Armor All the same question and this is their reply.
Hi Rick,
Thank you for contacting us via the Armor All website.
We do not recommend using Armor All Wax and Polish products on surfaces that don't have a clear coat. I am not sure whether the powder coat finish of your caravan has a clear coat or not.
If it does have a clear coat, please test the product on an inconspicuous area before use. After application, wait and check to ensure you are happy with the result before using on a larger area. Armor All products are extensively tested on automotive surfaces before launch, however, we have not completed testing on any caravan surfaces.
Thanks again for taking the time to contact us. Please let me know if there's anything else I can help you with.
Regards,
Amanda Shaw

My question is ,do we have a clear coat on the walls of van??

Yes, lost me too with the hinges on drawers. I thought that is a new concept for Kedron.
As for the Thetford Dunnys,they are a heap of crap(no pun intended) We are on our 3rd.in 5yrs. and are continually having to replace parts.We have dealt with a chap called James Buckland at Thetford, and he is very helpful.Cheers

G`Day Mark
We have been travelling all over Oz for about 6 yrs. and have never required a grey water tank.In CPs there is generally a drain or they encourage you to water the grass or trees with it. We put a filter over the end to catch the bits and we use bio degradable detergent and soap.In free or bush camps you run it into a 25 litre plastic container and empty it away from waterways. Do not use grey for washing in. As for the 2700 tare,I would take that with a pinch of salt.When tou are fully loaded for bear (especially with children and there stuff!)I personally think your current tug will be struggling to pull the weight.But what ever you decide have a ball with your new rig.

I also used Nomads Notes, but it was some years ago, and has probably been updated several times since then. At the time, I found it a bit "buggy", and I was helping the designer to "debug" it. After that I stopped using it and worked out methods that worked for me.
The software is very good in concept, and provided that all the database linkages work correctly, it should be a good product. It can also be used to enforce some discipline in what sort of data you wish to store, and of course has the advantage of only entering data once, for use throughout the application.
