  5. Hi , This place can help .https://www.facebook.com/roosystems/
  6. 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%.

  8. You could try large mower shops for a fuel cap .
  9. When my fuel tank cracked ( 3 years old ) around the fitting hole , I thought this was a design fault . I went to Dometic at Brendale with proof of purchase ( caravan purchase details receipt ) and they gave me the updated model tank . They said they had problems with the caps as well .
  10. Queensland N. Q. Truck Align. 53 Sturt St Westcourt Cairns. 40517457 0418777246 I had a wheel wearing really bad on the van after getting a wheel alignment in Brisbane before we left for The Cape in 2015. I found this place on google and Justin Bench did a great job . And only $55 .
  11. Hi 32 Kev , We also live in our van and have 4 x 120ah batteries and 660 watts of soar . Yes they do have so many cycles , the less you drain everyday the longer they last . Cheers Nev
  12. Hi 32 Kev, You should be getting 5 years or more from your batteries . With AGM you need to keep them above 12.2 volts . When they get down to 12.2 volts you have used 50% of there power . AGM are designed to work down to 12.2 volts and then recharge to about 13.8 volts . Cheers Nev
  13. Have a read before thinking about buying a tow vehicle http://www.motoring.com.au/the-truth-about-3500kg-towing-52878/
  14. Hi' I spoke to the guy with the snorkles , if you look at the fitting instructions the air box is different to my 2012. The snorkel looks like it fits the profile of body (guard) , you would have to do your own plumbing under the bonnet . That would be a very big job , if it works. Nev
  15. Hi Kylie, www.accessantennas.com.au They are in WA , they posted to Cairns for us when we were on the road in 2012 and works great . Nev
  16. What a great time , left home (Brisbane) and travelled to Old Bar , Sydney, Bendeela Reserve Gathering and home via the Putty Road and New England Highway. The Silverado was fantastic , to Old Bar set cruise on speed limit and set back and relax . Old Bar to Bendeela a bit slower as we were in a convoy of 3 Kedrons. Bendeela to home set cruise on speed limit , we averaged 20.2 litres per 100ks for the whole trip. The hills , what hills . Down hills the exhaust brakes are magic . The 200 series Cruiser was a great vehicle , travelled over 60,000 ks towing the van. The Silverado is just so much better all round tug. I purchased the Silverado second hand ,2012 model with 60,000 ks on the clock. First thing I did after towing a Topender for 650 ks was change the rear shocks to stop the rear from bouncing along the road (the way the yanks like it). The only way to stop the rear from bouncing when towing the Topender was 30 psi in the bags. I can adjust the bag pressure from in the cab.The vehicle already had airbags fitted . I have to wonder why fit air bags when the problem is with the shocks . The shocks on the vehicle are not heavy duty enough. On this trip I played around with pressure and 10 psi worked for me, any lower not good for the bags I believe . Next change front shocks . Don't buy shocks from the USA , they maybe not heavy duty enough .
  17. Hi All, When I drove my 2012 Silverado that purchased about 5mths ago I found the same sort of problem . I found that about 30 psi in the bags helped . The biggest difference was when I put better shockies on the rear . Cheers Nev
  18. I had same problem and I would turn the fridge off for 30 seconds every month, this worked until 5 days ago , woke up in morning and 14c . We had problems from the start , fridge whisper twice . He tells us working fine , yes it works for about a month. I believe this RPD 215 are not made to use continuously . I know of other vans with same problem . Best fix take it to the dump where they should all be and buy a RPD218 which is made for our climate. All you need to do is cut the opening 20mm higher. Nev
  19. I tried buying , the only way to replace them is buy a complete lock , or buy thin rubber and make your own or silicon . Cheers Nev
  20. Hi Jim, When I had my 200 series for 5 years .......I could leave my Engel on freezer plugged in from 3pm until 9am running of the standard batteries . When I parked up for longer periods , I would plug the Engel into the van via the Anderson plug . Cheers Nev
  21. When you put the screws back , don't tighten the top or bottom screws to tight or the blind /screen will become tight to roll.
  22. Pete and Vera , Welcome to the Kedron family. Cheers Nev and Penny
  23. Hi Colin, I was talking to Greg Brown a couple of days ago about filters. Greg has looked into it and can only find a system that fits after the factory filter . I would not see to much benefit in a filter after factory one . Cheers Nev
  24. The cap needs a breather hole. Try Dometic Unit 2, 129 South Pine Rd, Brendale, QLD, 4500 phone (07) 3205 7599 Cheers Nev
  25. Hi Brian Photos of stone guard , I also lifted the Gerry can holders 95mm.
