[Dirt roads and dust]

Wheel arches, fridge vents, holes in the floor for pipes, cables etc, if you have a rear kitchen the rangehood vent, etc are all entry points.

 Use of a good quality flexible sealant works, and make sure there is no dust or dirt where you apply the sealant as it won't work and in time open up a gap. 

 

We were on a tag-along a few years ago with 10 vans in all. At the end of the first day on dirt the owners of a Jayco opened the door to be greeted by a thick, and I mean thick, layer of dust over every thing in the van.

Have you spoken to Kedron Service?

They are keen to assist with any dramas, or at least that is my finding.

Yes have spoken to Robyn at service-she is not interested in the problem and has suggested l get a dust reduction unit at the price of approx $2500.

Do you have the unit installed in your van?

Thanks Tony-I would have expected an off road van to not take as much dust as this one does.Very disappointed to have spent so much money on a van that doesn't live up to its reputation.

We have a 2013 Topender and are permanent travellers around this beautiful country.

However, whenever we travel on dirt roads, the whole inside of the van ends up with dust everywhere, including the ensuite.

We tape up the water heater and the door.

Any ideas?

Hi everyone

Another question.What can you do to stop midges and mozzies getting into your van-think they are coming in through the fridge vent.Could we attach flyscreen wire inside the vent or would that block off too much air?

Any other ideas?

Thanks John and Lynne

Hi all

Just wondering if anyone has any ideas for getting rid of half a dozen black marks on shower checkerplate floor.I think it has been caused by chemical reaction (plating out) to a particular soap.

Thanks John and Lynne

Ok-thanks everyone for your replies.

Hi all

Just asking-can l use a hi lift jack to do a tyre change instead of a trailermate jack?

Cheers John

Hi everyone

We are the happy owners of a 2013 Topender which we purchased from Hobart last weekend.We have sold up and are now on the road permanently.After travelling extensively in a camper trailer and smaller vans, we decided to go with a bigger van with all the luxuries. We are looking forward to many more adventures in this beautiful, vast country.
