Welcome to the group Allan, I'm sure you will be happy with your new Kedron. After you get settled in don't forget to organise a gathering up your way. It is very simple to do, choose a date and time to suit you and posted it on the members part under gatherings. We always have fun at these gatherings and you will be surprised where people will come from to join the party. Enjoy your Keddy. Clive and Sandra

Thanks for the report, well done ??

This sounds like it good be a good weekend. Unfortunately we have other commitments at Glen Morgan.

Hello Scruffypantz, XC means Cross Country. We have a 2008 XC tandem axle Kedron Van and are very happy with it. They are a very well built van and we have taken ours over many dirt roads/tracks with no problems. Our first Kedron was a 2001 single axle van and the only reason we updated was to have a toilet and shower. good luck with what ever you decide. Clive

Keep in touch when you are heading to Queensland and we may have to organise a gathering. Your plans sound terrific, would love to be following in your tracks. Clive

I agree with Tony, the boys at Brendale might be able to help you solve the problem. safe travels, Clive

Brilliant idea, yes I want one as well. ????

From our our personal experience, we prefer the three way option. Saves carrying a generator, extra fuel, noise factor when using the geni. There are good and bad points for both.

Hello, we have a SMEV stove and I work on: 1 130 degree 2 160 " 3 180 " 4 200 " 5 220 " 6 240 " Hope this is some help to you. Sandra

Hi Bruce We have questioned Ashley also about this and he just shakes his head. We had a gas heater installed in WA in our old Kedron, loved it. It was the first thing we had done to our current Kedron. Like you we asked again, but the answer was no, so we bought one at the caravan show last year, and had it fitted at Bundaberg. Never had a problem with either. Clive

Welcome to the forum, maybe meet you on the road somewhere. Clive and Sandra

Hello Hazel and Trevor, Welcome to the Kedron Family, hope to meet you some day in our travels around the country. Enjoy the forum. Sandra and Clive

We dropped our van into Kedron yesterday to have some other work done. Ask Ashley about the number plate being moved. Unfortunately the two spare wheels are a bit too close on our van to allow the number plate to go between. Ashley assures us he will work something out. Will keep you posted when we collect the van. Clive

Hello Sue, Did Kedron do your modification? Also what have you done to hide the holes where the number plate was situated previously? Look forward to any replies, Thanks, Clive

Clive wants to know did the satellite dish still worked and you were able to watch TV? Also he wants to know did "The Strength of the North" withstand the "The Chills of the South"? ⛄️⛄️

Safe travels, we wish you all the best. Remember, have fun. Clive and Sandra

Colin and Gayleen, Thank you for sharing this lovely story. It must have been a wonderful experience (probably a lot better than our Anzac Day in wet, cold, miserable Melbourne). We always think small regional towns do a lot better than the big city Anzac Day services. Once again thank you, always love reading about other people's travels. Cheers, Clive and Sandra

Brian, That is an excellent idea, only wish I had photos of our van. As you say very helpful. Clive

We have just completed the trip from White Cliffs to Eulo. We could not find any information from the locals about the condition of the road. It appeared that no locals had been on that trip for a few years. I thought I would give our opinions on this forum in case anyone was contemplating the trip. White Cliffs to Wanaaring - good we rated it 7/10 Wanaaring to Hungerford - a bit boggy and we did have to go through some shallow water 6/10 Hungerford to Eulo - good 7/10 We had checked with the information centre and general store at White Cliffs but all they could tell us that the road to Wanaaring was open. The local police at Wanaaring told us that the section to Hungerford was open (it had been closed due to water over the road two days earlier). We checked again at Hungerford before we travelled to Eulo. In the 516kms of dirt road we only came across three other motorists. One which had his vehicle bogged to the chassis. I think he was happy to see us and very pleased we stayed and helped him get the vehicle back on the road. All good. However we now have a very muddy car and van to clean when we get home.

Thank you to all that helped us in our hour of need. That is what I like about this forum, even on public holidays help is available. We are now doing what we like best "freedom camping" sitting on the banks of the Mighty Murray looking across to NSW and freezing our buts off. Wish the sun would shine. Once again thank you Sandra

Help, we are in a very busy caravan park for Easter (rare for us to be in a caravan park). Yesterday we turned on the radio (also a rare thing for us to do) we were happy listening to the radio inside the van unaware that our neighbours were also listening to the radio from the external speakers. Is there an easy way to isolate the external speakers? Would be grateful for any advice. Clive and Sandra

Thank you Bruce, have measured our van but unfortunately there is only 165cm to play with. We are travelling at present and I keep looking at the situation while we are living in the van. I really like your modification but will work something out. Clive

Hello Bruce, Love the change you have made. We have a very uncomfortable L shape seating arrangement at present. To give us more room we have removed the table and use stable tables. Could you please give a measurement from the partition to the door to see if we could possibly make this modification to our Cross Country. Many thanks. Clive and Sandra

Kev 32, Tony, It is surprising what thirst, initiative and design can achieve. Where there is a will there is a way. Clive

I recently had to replace the front boot lid struts on the van. I visited the Strut Re-Gas chap Hervey Bay and told him what I would like. He advised me to get longer struts and he worked out where they would have to be mounted on the bin doors. The bottom mountings did not have to move. The new struts allowed the bin doors to open approximately 150ml higher. I was still trying to gain better access so I moved the stone guard forward approx 100ml. This allowed me access behind the stone guard and able to look in the bins with out hitting my head This has made life a lot more pleasant with out the additional expletives. Clive
