I had the same thing @Marv_mart in the old 16, very good advice and especially the good old duck tape come's in handy once again. The panda never leaves my house without a roll

Jest checking mate.....looks like a neat fit though:eagerness:Not yet @skippy
OH and @skippy ... Almost got the river crossing pics for you due to the rain we had but unfortunately due to a slight altercation with some loose gravel the night before and me doing some olympic gold medal aerial manouvres, keeping one foot planted while the other one prevented me from either landing on my knees or butt:minion_kungfu:...... ended up damaging a disc in the back. Once hitting the corrugations on the drive had to turn back to camp for some Jack D's pain killers :wink-47:
Duct Tape is also good when you get hit by a grain truck, patched our van up very well. Duct tape and silastic never leave home without it.
not THAT is sounding like an interesting story................ have you already done a write up about it @Drover ????
hey @bigcol , did a write up with pics here; http://www.expandasdownunder.com/threads/drovers-14-44-3.4502/ all patched up now and looking better than ever, but the Jeep's Turbo is always ready for sudden boost.
Dragged the van out from under cover to clean it after last weekends getaway and decided to have a quick look to see why we aren't getting any water into the hot water system after some warranty work to fix some under van water leaks.....
Got the Apprentice (Grandson) to give me a hand and after all his questions that I could not answer looks like it will be going back to Martin at Northside Caravan Repairs next Friday on my way home from getting measured at Caravanland for the ESC to have a look.
Hopefully just a minor blockage somewhere.... Would have looked into it more but the footy started

Yes and Freo came unstuck against the power but the better team won.
Sydney to win the flag I reckon @dagree
But I am on the Port Power ban wagon now after Freo being knocked out "I hope the underdogs win" but I have a feeling Sydney will be way to strong for the other AFL sides.
Just had a thought, did you check that the one way valve did not have any plastic in it after having it repaired? They are temperamental those valves and they don't like any foreign objects in them.

Yep it checked out OK...... Got water through it but for some reason the water isn't getting into the hot water system????
Only thing I didn't pull apart was the isolation valve where it goes into the heater.... Too hard to get to so will leave it to the experts on Friday
Would have liked to see one of our local teams in the GF.... But I'm guessing a Hawks vs Sydney one with, as you said, Sydney taking the cup!
Hooked the expanda up and towed to Jayco Caravanland to get measured up for the ESC, then called into Northside Caravan Repairs on the way home to get the hot water issue sorted (An easy fix luckily....... I was looking in the wrong places for the non-return valve they fitted).
Unfortunately had a little incident with the Prado

Last major mod completed this morning... Electronic Stability Control now fitted. Excellent service and a quality installation thanks to the guys at Caravanland in Cannington :encouragement:
Was very tempted to try a couple of fast lane changes to try it out on the freeway on way home but didn't think the other drivers along there would appreciate it
Picked up a Companion wireless fridge thermometer from BCF around the corner (25% off for the weekend so happy with that). Just have to work out where to mount it!!!!

Was the ESC per wired or did they have to set it up?
Where almost back to Victoria from our Gold Coast trip only felt a couple of trucks on either Newell or Hume/pacific. Not sure ESC or something else our first van

Was pre-wired @davemc . Had plugs for plug n play but they tidied up the wiring and hard wired it in!
Didn't have anything on last van but it was a lot lighter... Main reason we had it fitted was to keep Mrs Dagree happy after receiving some photos of a friends written off van that picked up a sway at 80KMH with no trucks or wind
Haven't felt any "issues" with the new van but have only done shortish trips so far.
