    We replaced ours in the old Kedron when the RPD215 played up that much we tossed it and I fitted a RPD218 , cabinet opening needs to be 20 mm higher . 

    From memory $2200.00 from the 12volt shop , it was a quite  few years ago .

    This is from fault page .

    If your error light is flashing three times every 5 seconds, the rotor may be blocked or the differential pressure in the refrigeration system is too high. Faulty compressor or faulty control module.

     

    I hope this helps .

  9. Kilkivan Australia Day Gathering 2021

    in Recipes

    Posted

    Hi at the Kilvkivan gathering several people asked for Rod's corn bread recipe, so I have also copied it to this page.

     

    http://recipetineats.com/cornbread-recipe/      

     This lady is a gem for good food recipe's

    This is quick and easy and an ordinary baking dish does the trick although the stated cast iron pan gives a crispier bottom.

    Corn meal is called polenta in Aussie shops and readily available. 

    Cheers from the Kyd's

     

    I was also asked for my lemon slice recipe 

     

     

    Lemon Coconut Slice

     Ingredients
    Makes: 18 squares

     

    ·        1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk

    ·        125g butter

    ·        250g milk arrowroot biscuits (granita, shortbread, gingernut)

    ·        1 teaspoon grated lemon rind

    ·        1 cup coconut

    ·        Icing

    ·        1 3/4cups icing sugar

    ·        3 tablespoons lemon juice

    ·        15g butter

    ·        2 tablespoons coconut

     

    Directions
    Preparation:5min  ›  Cook:1min  ›  Extra time:1hour chilling  ›  Ready in:1hour6min 

    1.     Place condensed milk (1/2 cup) and butter (125g) in a saucepan. Stir over gentle heat until butter had melted and mixture has combined.

    2.     Crush biscuits very finely. Add lemon rind and coconut (1 cup). Mix well.

    3.     Add warm milk and butter mixture to the biscuit crumb mixture. Mix together with a wooden spoon.

    4.     Press mixture in greased lamington tin. Refrigerate for 1hr.

    5.     Icing: Combine sifted icing sugar, lemon juice, and soft butter (15g) in a bowl. Mix well until smooth. Spread over chilled biscuit base and sprinkle with coconut. Refrigerate until icing is set. cut into small squares

     

    Tip

    If you grease to short side of the pan, then place baking paper in and over the edges of the pan, it's easy to pull the slice out in one piece.

     

    Cheers

  17. KEDRON MATTRESS

    in Product Information and Services

    Posted

    Hi Cheryl & Wayne

    We live in our van and found the Kedron supplied mattress not the best. After various store bought mattress toppers, egg shells etc we decided to get a new mattress.  Makin Mattresses at Nundah, custom made us a made to measure Belissimo mattress, extremely comfortable with an excellent warranty, but a bit on the heavy side, quite expensive and makes the bed very high.

    But I am glad we have it, so much better, excellent and well worth the money as I said we sleep there every night.

    Now I see they have a new range called Matilda especially designed for caravans and motorhomes etc, might be worth a look.

    Cheers

  18. An interesting day yesterday

    Castlemaine is indeed a beautiful town, very quaint, lots of old buildings, the museum/ art gallery  is worth a look. A must try is Castlemaine Rock in a round yellow tin, a yummy hard candy peppermint .

    I was fortunate enough to have been born there, my grandfather was the town dentist.

    Cheers

    Yes indeed lots of thinking we have revised, altered, re done plans over and over, there are a few things that are must haves and we want more room at the table so it's a bit bigger and a bit wider where you sit as well as maximising storage etc.

    John and Maureen seem to have made their decisions pretty quickly, but I guess they have been travelling for so many years now that they know what they like.

    So many things have changed, improved and are now included from when we got our current van 6 years ago.

    Have fun, it is very exciting.

    Cheers

    Hi Guys, how are you both?

    It's a wonder you didn't run into Nev at the display yard at Kedron, he has been spending a lot of time there recently.  He has been going there several times a week always with pen, paper, plans and a tape measure. We all found Paul to be extremely helpful and he has had a lot of experience at Kedron.

    As Tony said we are in the process of ordering and designing a new van, as are John and Maureen and another couple who are good friends of ours ( they came to the Xmas gathering).

    We are going with ATV for weight reasons, although with the Chev we could have a TE but , all that extra bar work, unnecessary and they are not as wide as the ATV's (not by much) it does factor into internal space. No final plan as yet, that should happen soon when we go back to see Graham the designer at the factory next couple of weeks.

    If you guys want to call Nev about anything he is always happy to have a chat. Happy to give you his number, usually works Thursday and Fridays.

    Cheers

    Penny

     

     

     

  23. Battery monitor

    When you buy 240volt chargers always check that they are set to charge your type of battery  , same goes with your solar regulator . After my van was 2 years old I realized that my regulator wasn'tset to charge at 14.2 volts , only 13.6 so it would take longer to get to 100%.
