  2. OME Suspension and Springs

    in Public Forum

    Posted

    G`Day Peter & Tracy

    I have had my OME set up on the 100 series for about 7 yrs., and when I told them I was going to tow about 3.5 tonnes they fitted the heaviest springs they had. On enquiring about 2 yrs. ago they still fit the same springs. And yes I have air bags fitted also.In all that time I have only replaced the 2 front shockies about 2 yrs. ago. OME are a great system in my humble opinion. ^_^

    Cheers

    Urgent Info Required

    We have the van in at Kedron, and one of the jobs is to have a dust deflector fitted in front of the 4 season hatch on the roof.The 4 season hatch on out ATV2 is on the front and sloping end of the van. Does anyone out there have one fitted and does it work? And what sort of design is it? :unsure:

    Cheers

    Hi Gang

    We are insured with Ken Tame through CMCA and saved nearly a grand :D , compared to van with CIL and tug through NRMA.They were very helpful with the whole process and made it very easy. The only down side was that the first years premium had to be paid up front,but luckily Leas carers bonus came just on time.The premiums from the end of the first year are to be paid Quartely.We have talked to Motor Homers and have had nothing but positive feedback from those that had to make a claim.

    Cheers

    Ps Any excess King George whiting can be express mailed to us here in Lake Cooroibah :lol:

    Hi Tex & Carol

    We have had quite a few stays at Standdown Park from its beginnings, and yes it is a great park.I am surprised that Rod & Pam are still there.they were talking about travelling again when we were there for Long tan day in 2010.A great day it was too.When you see Rod tell him we are making great use of his "Mungrill". :D

    Cheers

    G`Day Mr.& Mrs Tex esq.com :)

    Great I thought, there is an easier way to clean the blade on the fan other than undoing all those screw each time.So I looked and looked for the pop off bit ,but alas there was none .I have an older model,so it is back to the screwdriver and stiff neck. LOL.

    Rod,good point about the night rain I didn`t realise they would be noisy.

    We are now back in Brissie then off to Lake Cooroibah tomorrow for a 5 month housesit.

    Cheers

    The 4 Seasons is on the front slope of the van unfortunately. We currently use the sponge trick. But that is a pain in the proverbial taking it out and putting it in.Will have to visit the boys at Kedron when we get the van serviced and get a deflector.

    Tony ,How much did they charge you to fit yours?

    Welcome to the sight.

    On the subject of after market fuel tanks,we have had 2 over the years.Both have performed very well.One was fitted to the Troopy (75 series) for about 5 yrs. and copped a fair old battering.And the current one is on the Cruiser,fitted about 5yrs ago and no problems so far. :)

    The brand on both was Longranger.So I would take yours back to the place it was installed and to stop telling you B.S.and fix it. :angry:

    Where do you plug them in??

    Geoff& Pam ,there was some discussion on plug in security lights on Caravanersforum.com some time ago .Perhaps you could do a search there for security lights,or something similar.No cost to join.

  22. Defrosting Fridge

    in Public Forum

    Posted

    I have seen this subject before and I don`t understand the issue with not turning of the fridge via the thermostat switch!! We have had our current van for nearly 4 years and have always turned of at the switch for defrosting and with no problems.It actually has an off position on the switch.

  24. Window caterpillars?

    Just got a quote from Dometic for the window upgrade kit. $90 all up for all 8 windows of various sizes. A pleasant surprise. Somebody told me they were very expensive?? The kits inc. the caterpillars and the stick on strips to block the slits. :blink:

  25. increasing your vehicle towing capacity

    Stop it!Stop it! Ya doin my bleedin head in :D:wacko: Seriously though ,we weighed our van in WA in 2010 and it came in at 3.7 tonnes fully loaded.

    That was heart attack time.The ball weight was 425 Ks.so back to the drawing board. We have got rid of everything that we do not use within 3 months and slid the rear bumper out about 8 inches and fitted a Polly pipe for tent polls and awning arms etc.Back to the weighbridge just out of Richmond NSW. Weight 3.62 Tonnes and ball weight 400ks.The only solution we came up with is to travel with both front tanks empty unless going bush.
