Blueheeler

Another innovative design by KEDRON. Yours won't come out and ours fell out until I repaired it Blueheeler

To all Travellers passing through the South Burnett. WONDAI now has a new Free Camp located approximately 50 metres down from the WONDAI HOTEL. New toilets and showers. $2.00 cost for shower. Dump point directly opposite the WONDAI HOTEL near old Railway station. Shops, Post Office, BQLD and IGA are all handy. Regards, Alan & Rhonda King.

Bryan, Talk to Kedron they may have some 2nd hand struts or direct you to what you can do to repair them. Also I didn't think Dometic supplied direct to the public. I have had past dealings with them where they tried to touch me up on price and wouldn't supply direct to me also. Regards, Kingy. P.S. Try CARAVAN PLUS on the internet.They have helped me with many savings on purchases.

Hi Guys, Some comments may be said in jest or tongue and cheek God knows I have been guilty of it,but it should be brought to everyone's attention that these comments have been placed in the PUBLIC FORUM on the KEDRON site. Solicitors and do Gooders work hand in hand. Regards, Kingy.

Hi Rod & Jen, How long has it been since you change your under sink filter? They can block up without warning or it could be an air lock as Merv stated. Cheers, Kingy

Hi Danny & Sue, I have a Doran 360 system on the F250 and the Topender. It was supplied by LMS systems in Brisbane. It hasn't faulted to date. It can monitor up to 22 wheels and you can also purchase anti theft parts for the sensors. Cheers, Kingy and Rhonda.

Hi Steve & Kez, I appreciate your reply regarding this matter but, during the coarse of the conversation at Kedron that detail wasn't conveyed to me. Unfortuneatly there are some people's promises I take with a grain of salt. Past experiences you know. I suppose also the re-rating would be done at another cost again to us. Another $350+ I would imagine. Am I right. Cheers

Hi Everyone, While at The Factory today, I spoke to Tom regarding re-rating of our 21'6 Topender. He said it can be done but only to 3990kg at a cost of $350. Van must be taken to the factory for inspection by Tom. He also said and showed the following information on the Transport site on his computer." Once Van has been re rated to 3990kg, the van can only be towed by a vehicle with the same rating. Therefore Landcruiser would be illegal and only a vehicle F250 or Chevey can tow van. Also if Van is rated at 3990 and registered in Qld, it has to be put over the pit every year before it's Rego can be paid and processed. Also if you re-rate your Caravan, have fun trying to sell it. As stated above, van can only be sold to someone with the correct tow vehicle. If you fail to disclose this to the purchaser, you as a seller, will be held accountable - BE WARNED. Cheers.

Hi Tony & Leone, They recommend not to take caravans up to Blackdown Tableland National Park and I would adhere to that advice.Tracks are very narrow. We went there many years ago with a camper trailer. There were about 26 camp sites at Minmosa Creek and very small(Tents & Camper trailers). Hope this helps. Regards, Alan & Rhonda.

Hi 32Kev, I just replaced our leaf springs(BLUE MAX) on the 21'6 Topender(6 year old).It brought the height back up 2". I also installed a 2" lift kit into the F250 to marry up with it all. It tracks and travells 110% better than from when I purchased the Kedron. I wouldn't have springs reset as the will only sag again. I would only have new ones, maybe with an extra leaf, but that's up to the individual and what weight they are carring. I purchased all my springs from "SUSPENSION SUPPLIES AUSTRALIA" and they are in Northgate, Brisbane. 07-33703200 you can ask for NATHAN POIANI. He's a young bloke and very pleasent and helpful to deal with. They will also frieght them to you if you require them and nominate a fitter if they have a outlet near you. Regards, Blueheeler

Hi Feildsie, Sounds like the thermostat has failed. If the fridge is more than 5 years old I would regas it also to be on the safe side. Cheers, Blueheeler.

To all Members, It is a good site as you have all stated. But someone needs to nominate for Vice President or the site may be no more. To all you people who have voiced your opinions to how the club has been run or should be, now's the time to step to the plate. I would still be there, but my health had played a part in my leaving the position and we want to try and travell as much as possible for now. Kingy.

Hi Phil, Bob and Grace went for the Waeco 215lt I think, and haven't looked back. They didn't like the Engels very much. Apparently they were very noisy. :confused1: I suppose someone will correct if I'm wrong. Cheers, Kingy.

Hi everyone, I like Greg have a 6 ton McHitch and have never had a problem with connecting the truck to the van. With the Hyland coupling, I always had minor trouble. It was always just enough to cause some grief. Now, no problems and no bars. It tracks true and no sway. Regards, Kingy.

Hi Jk, :biggrin: I was at the Kedron factory on Wednesday and they had 3 x bottles of PURPLE on the shelf. I think it was $30 per bottle. Kingy & Rhonda :thumbsup:

Hi Everyone, :confused1: I have read with interest regarding the Heike Hatches and have decided to add a reply. Firstly the hatches are great and the only problem I've found is in the installation of the product. I've have found that the screws supplied for the installation are in fact too long(5mm). I would advise anyone who has a hatch at the front of their van and over their bed to:- 1. Stand on the bed 2. Open hatch 3. Check top surrond for any screws that may have been screwed to far with the installation of the inner frame as we found. The screws can actually just pearce the plactic surrond, then water will collect in the shallow area between the fins and water will then track down through the hole and follow the screw and leak through the hatch as ours did. I covered the holes with silicone and the problem was fixed. We've have been caught in some very heavy downfalls just recently, and it hasn't leaked since. I hope this may be another avenue for people to address to maybe fix their problem. Regards Kingy. :thumbsup:

A man owned a small farm in Australia. The Tax Office claimed he was not paying the proper wages to his staff and sent a representative out to interview him. 'I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them,' demanded the Tax rep. " Well, replied the farmer, There's my farm hand who's been with me for 3 years. I pay him $500 a week plus free room and board. He also gets triple time for working on a Sunday and gets a slab of beer for Happy Hour every Friday". The cook has been here for 18 months, and I pay her $400 per week plus free room and board. She doesn't work Sundays and I provide paid satellite television for free in her room. Then there's the half-wit. He works about 18 hours every day and does about 90% of all the work around here. He makes about $20 per week, pays his own room and board, and I buy him a bottle of whiskey every Saturday night. 'That's the guy I want to talk to.... the half-wit.' says the tax agent. 'Well that would be me', replied the Farmer. :thumbsup:

Hi Danny & Sue, It's good to see you choose the right van as you will soon find out. The guys at Kerdon will really look after you as they have with Rhonda and I. Regarding the syndrome I think the latin meaning for it is KEDRONITIS LONGWAITUS. You'll have great fun when it arrives. Cheers, Kingy & Rhonda.

Hi Greg, Thanks for your quick reply, I look forward to any further information that you may supply further down the track. Kind regards, Kingy :thumbsup:

Hi Greg, :helpsmilie: Thanks for the great insight and information regarding the new hitch. My question is :- 1. Do you still require the use of the Weight Distribution System once you use this new hitch? 2. If you don't use it, how does the F250 perform without the WDS? 3. Is there any handling difference since you changed to the new hitch? ie sway or being affected by cross winds. I/we look forward to your reply at your earliest convenience. Regards, Kingy. :thumbsup:

Reg & Fran, Sorry about my spelling. I should be FREIGHT. I've had a bad day. Regards. Kingy.

Hi Reg & Fran, I would take the $20 plus frieght. Camec want $30 plus each. I don't know if this the same supplier but I purchased 6 from Wisconsin's Premier RV. I replaced mine, kept 2 and sold 3 to friends at cost. Paying the frieght worked out well. Everybody was happy. Hope this my help as a guide. Regards, Kingy.

Hi Rick, Regarding trapping Yabbies and Red Claw. They are vegetarian and love rock melon, and potato both sweet and normal. I have also heard that a small tins of cat food with a couple of holes punched in them will work. Regarding fishing out west a lure with a good rattle in it works, but the good old earth worm will do the job. Hope this will help Regards, Kingy
