  1. Window caterpillars?

    in Public Forum

    Posted

    Thanks Chris

    I thought it was you and Val that had done your windows,but I could not find any directions on the Keddy site.They will be a great help.We won`t worry about the Chrome strips at this stage, as we have already filled the gaps sometime ago with filler. If I get stuck you can come up and help :lol:

    Hi Gang Some time ago the topic of adding the furry strips to the sides of the Dometic windows was introduced.When we arrive back in Qld. I would like to attempt to do this job myself.I have just replaced the rear blind without to much trouble,so now I know how to take them apart and put them back together.(Blinds)Any help on this subject would be appreciated. :unsure:

  3. Advice Wanted and Needed

    G`day Colin.

    That sounds like a great trip. We have done all of those roads either in the current van or the first Keddy. You will love it.BUT take your time and drive to the conditions.If you can get someone to travel with you, even if it is just on the more remote tracks all the better.

    Above all, have a ball. ;)

  6. Chequerplate cleaning woes'

    Hi Gang

    I have been using Purple Polish on both Kedies over about 5 yrs.now, and I am very happy with the result.After washing the van with truck wash I dry it off and Polish the Cheqer.checker, cheqke ,, shiny stuff :blink: .about every 6 months.You rub it on with a soft cloth in small sections then rub it off roughly then polish it off with a clean cloth.It is easier if you do a panel at a time.For some reason? it does not work on the shower floor.

    Cheers and a Merry Xmas and a Great New year and SAFE travels to every body.

  11. TOWING WITH LANDCRUISER UTE AND MCHITCH

    G`Day

    Gary & Kay

    We also have the Silent Armour all round and run them on 40psi except for the tug rears which I run @ 42psi.The pressures you were given are way to high and that is why you have centre wear. We have just replaced the tug tyres after 60,000 ks. Once again with G.Y. Silent Armour.When you get new ones,make sure you get the USA made tyres and not the Indo.made crap.

    We are currently in Wagga.Last time we were here about 2 1/2 years ago you could step over the river,now it is flowing fast and full.

    Cheers

  15. Full or Combined Ensuite?

    in Public Forum

    Posted

    We travel full time and have the combined toilet and shower.The only thing I would change would be to get rid of that useless drop down sink. Used it once when we first got the van and it took forever to empty.Have not used it since and SWMBO says it drops down on very rough roads by itself. :blink:

    Cheers

  20. air bags vs big springs

    in Public Forum

    Posted

    Hi Dunmowin

    We have both OME suspension and airbags (Airbag man).They have been on the tug for about 4yrs.now and work well together.

    I blow the airbags up to 28 Lbs. when towing, and 10 when not.Still have a bit of weight in the back of the Cruiser ,fridge drawer system etc.Hope that helps.

    Cheers

    Rick

    PS get your springs checked first,you may not have to replace them.

    Hi Gang

    Have had the small mod. done on the McHitch and now works like a charm ,from all angles and slopes.Joe was very helpful and the whole process took about 20 mins.And he gave us a gift of a locking pin for the hitch.

    Cheers

    Rick & Lea :D

  22. WA wild flowers week

    G`Day Rod & Mavis

    It sounds like you need a big hug.Consider it done :rolleyes: We are currently in Lithgow and it is cold and wet.We are moving up to Newnes camp ground in the Wollemi National Park tomorrow for a few days before we do our next sit in Kurmond.Hopefully it will start warming up by then.Enjoy the wild flowers,if you get a chance Coalseam National park is a great campspot to see the flowers.When you take photos of the flowers ,you have to name them.That way I can get them from you and name some of the dozens I took when we were there LOL. ;)

    Cheers

    Hi Eric & Jody

    Having spent 12 months in the south-west corner of WA.recently,we found in a lot of cases, in the so called tourist industry, that is normal behaviour,especially once they know you are from the Eastern states.But "scewem' have a great time anyway :D

    Cheers
