Ours has been 'stuck' in the fridge for our entire 10,500km trip over 5 weeks, still holding strong. It's not the velcro that will let go but the adhesive on the back, but no sign of letting go. Used what it came with, the sticky patch on the sliding panel. Have slid it off when in storage.
Yes, BGS, clean and dried the surface thoroughly with metho. Have stuck very well on side wall just under freezer door level. The 'spare' we put on the end wall above the toilet, moved the toilet roll holder to the same wall as where it was was awkward and kept being knocked.
and thanks for the hand to hook up.
Had the expanda in for some minor warranty work and had a look at things properly once I got home......
Can highly recommend "Northside Caravan Repairs" if you are in the Perth Northern Suburbs. Great service and seem like a great bunch of guys there as well hey @Smash
Main issue was the leaking skylight we encountered a couple of months ago during some heavy rain. Had things explained to me even before they looked at it when dropping the van off and apparently the issue is not with Jayco QC..... It's the material used for the skylight frame. The sikaflex/silastic/whatever doesn't stick too well to it and needs to be etched or "roughed up" to allow it to stay stuck!
@Nagga's ... Might pay you to have another look at yours (Unless you did a similar fix).
Northside removed the skylight, cleaned it, "roughed it up", refitted with foam tape and then sikaflex or whatever.
Other issues sorted were:
1. Flickering globe over the hotplate - Globe replaced.
2. Water leaks underneath - One-way valve and a couple of fittings replaced. All other hoses checked and tightened where necessary.
Thankfully only minor issues compared to others but happy with the service and will go back again
out came the drill and cable cutters and fitted the switch.
is this a good thing to have must be or u wouldn't put it in ???????This weekend was supposed to be one where there were no mods done to the expanda and a bit of work done around the house and on the Prado.......
Well..... If Toyota got their act together and got my plastic clips here in time for the inner gaurd panel I would have pulled the front apart and fitted the snorkle... Looks like next weekends job.
After doing half the winter weeding found out there is some rain heading our way so the pressure sprayer and "Roundup" were put back in the shed..... And seeing the Low Voltage Cutout Switch (Thanks to @Bmhdg76 for the idea) arrived on Friday and I was starting to get bored
Only thing required was to cut back the foam sealer and change the terminal strip!!!

ive got one of those red ark things that stop power to the van when stopped can also get a 2nd batt on the unit if I eva want one
mmmm ur getting all tech on me Im sure it sends power to the van for everything when car is going but if u turn it off the car then all power to the van stopes so u don't get a flat batt and don't have to disconnect plug sometimes may forget to do that the unit can also support a 2nd batt as I said just needs to be wired in didn't cost that much 200 or something got it fitted when they rewired my car its well worth the cash will get a 2nd batt in time can send pic of it and more info from paper work if needed
