    Good morning Kedronners! 

    I am sure many of you will be like us, and so keen to get out camping again.

     

    South Australia has opened up camping, and so that's what we will be doing.  We are going camping in the Southern Flinders for a week and then further South at Mambray Creek in Mt Remarkable National Park for a further five days.. These two places are among our favourite camping spots (yes, yes I know, I have numerous favourite spots...).

    We leave tomorrow morning and plan to be at Aroona Campground tomorrow night for four nights. Then we will move down to Mambray Creek.

    I look forward to waking up to the sight of the ABC Ranges in the background and the sound of the wind in the trees!

    Here is a photo of a previous trip to Aroona.

    Will we see any other South Aussies out there?

    Hi All 

    Got a call from one of my brothers on Monday asking if I was interested in going to The  big Bash,since then everything has been booked but what 

    I need from anybody who has been and done the bash before where can you top up  water tanks and dump toilet before going into area. Brother is travelling

    from Brisbane and I am travelling from Melbourne and meeting at Lighting ridge for a couple of days then onto Charleville for a night,Windorah then to Birdsville

    on the Saturday before .WE are free camping at Birdsville before going in on Sunday,could not book into caravan park at Birdsville they don't take bookings for

    one night bookings.

    Kakadu 

    Hi call into the Birdsville Lodge if you need anything.Brian and I are in Birdsville for a couple of months.

    Water will not be a bother.But if you are camping out by the river bring sturdy ground cover as the bindis are bad this year.

    The flies are out in millions( I am not joking) you will need cover.

    The nights cold but days beautiful.

    I have refrained from being negative towards Kedron but at this stage I have to agree with the quotes above.

    In November last year we collected our Compact from Brendale and we have had continual problems since.

    Pump broken down ,it has been replaced,Fridge replaced,Lamanite peeling off cupboard surrounds,has now all been reglued by Kedron.

    external connection for TV not even fitted.Hole there but no connection.

    I could keep going.especially they last one we are trying to solve at this time.

    My concern is that the warranty expires soon and where will we stand after that?

    Thanks to you all for your Warm Welcome. As we have really only had one trip after collecting the van and that was into QLD and back to Mildura via Kedron, we have not experienced enough to have too many questions. However, we would be interested to know if anyone else has experienced any (what I would term cosmetic) issues with their van after they first collected it from the factory. We experienced quite a few, for example....from the fridge failing and fuses blowing to unfinished timber edges (not varnished) and cupboards not closing properly. Small things in reality, however we considered that given what we paid and the apparent reputation of Kedron for quality, attention to detail was lacking in many areas. We have raised these issues with Kedron and most were fixed during the first service, others I had to fix myself, although the end result was not as good as if it were done ( as it should have been) in the factory, in my opinion. Anyway, we were advised by other caravan owners that all caravans have issues and "teething problems" apparently...we just felt a bit aggrieved and being so far from Brisbane, we could not just take it back for repair!

    I guess these are some of the joys of caravanning and no doubt we are not alone in experiencing quality control issues?

    Anyway, we would be interested in anyone's experiences or opinions on this issue, as our journey continues.......
