    Hi Pete & Tracey

    We are doing what you will be doing in 18 months. Our plan is up to 5 years on the road, we have been on the road for 4 months so far & all is good. The Patrol will have no problems doing the work with the mods you have done. The best way to get info about caravans, camping, ect come to one of the gatherings.

    We are hosting one on 14,15,16 August at stanthorp I think there are still 2 our 3 spots left.

    I must say we have picked up a lot of info & had a great time as well at the gatherings.

    Look forward to catching up.

    cheers Blackie

    See you soon

    PS >>>> TO Bob if you have any of those power poles for firewood left ????? we would love some for Stanthorpe & some to take on with us, our fires as we travelled were brilliant thanks to the wood supplied by you at Noosa.

    Greeting David & Jane & all the other KOGers,

    Shane & I are spending a 24 hr stop in Borroloola to catch up on our emails & internet. After leaving Mt Isa we headed into the NT & spent 2 weeks at Limmen Bight fishing camp - had a great time there ate plenty of fsh & crab. Then it was a quick flit across to Lorella Springs where we spent 12 days. The fishing camp was once again visited with friutful results - lots of BIG Queenies again. We've always been told they aren't good eating & not to freeze them - well we did both with excellent results, as long as they were over the 50cm long. We leave for Kingfisher camp in the morning , then onto Adels Grove

    Hope you're all well , we are looking forward to seeing those coming to Stanthorpe.

    Til next time.

    Cheers Balckie & Elle

We leave for Camooweal in the morning then it's on to the Gulf, Towns Rv then Lorella Springs, across the Savannah Way to Kingfisher Camp & Lawn Hill. Hope the Barra are ready for us. We'll give you all an update when we next have coverage.

    Posted

    We have a new trip to announce! In Mid March next year we are inviting all to join Robert & Jewel Vangeelan on their farm at Kilkivan for some R & R. There are no facilities there , so we'll be using our Kedrons for what they were made for, bush camping.

    Shane & Elle will there to help you all through the paddocks & act as co-hosts, we are planning on doing a camp oven cook up on Saturday & fire wood will be provided.

    The weather should be nice at this time of year , warm days & coolish evenings.

    Hope to see you all there

    Regards Shane & Elle Blacker :thumbsup:

  16. What Holds Your Cabinet Work Together?

    zolle

    We to are on to our 2nd Kedron. Number 2 van will be ready early April. We were at the factory

    last wednesday & all of the internal work was finished,with A1`quality .

    As everyone has said if you speak to the Galls first & let them know of your problems in a

    non aggressive way then I am sure they will help get your van back on track.

    But if you go in with the same type of confrontational attitude as you threw at Darryl then you

    will probably find a brick wall.I feel it was most uncalled for to accuse him of being someone to

    go & 'tell stories' back to the people that you really need to talk to.

    We enjoy support , friendly banter & the ability to swap knowledge on this forum NOT putdowns.

    Just a quick hello from Levuka 4WD camping grounds. Thanks Sue your advice (as usual) was sound. We have purchased a Wireless modem from Harvey Norman $200 (telstra was $248 Not Neg) & $49.95 /mnth for 1G. The new van will have a next G aerial as well. Van was looking good with all Cabinetery done , electricals almost , waiting for cladding.... Cheers Elle :thumbsup:

  18. Blackies Hatch

    in Public Forum

    Posted

    Greetings all, What a fantastic weekend, between the cafe & bowls we were kept occupied. it was a lovely spot too.

    So the HATCH thing! Well the upshot is no I can't have a full opening due to the wheel arches being longer to accomodate the independent susspension.However they are going to put a genie hatch door (no box ) on the side but some of the opening will be obstructed.It's a compromise I will have to make.

    When we got there our chassis & floor from Friday arvo had turned into walls , flooring , cupboards & a bathroom shell......... so we are underway.

    Cheers Elle :thumbsup:

  19. Blacker's Hatch

    Greetings all, firstly I'd like to say what a fantastic w/end we've just had.Imbil is a lovely little town that really turned it on for us. Between the cafe for brekky (& almost lunch) then bare foot bowls & a sausage sizzle - all free, we kept quite occupied.

    So back to the topic HATCH - is not viable due to the independent suspension having larger wheel arches but they are going to put a genie hatch door only which will give us access to under the bed - not sure if the chairs will fit through yet but it is something. We were shocked to see the floor is now walls , cupboards, shower recess so it is on the go now.

    Til next time Elle

  24. Dust Through Vents

    in Public Forum

    Posted

    Hi Dave

    We had the same problem. Have a look a the front of the fridge at the bottom there was a small gap

    running the width of the fridge. I put a peice of high density foam in it, was a tight fit.

    Seemed to slow the dust a lot. I think the gap was causing a vacuuming.

    Cheers Blackie
