Starcraft Andrew's 20.62-3 Starcraft Outback
- Thread starter twscoot

Milencos are fabulous. Was sceptical at first but have been wrapped with them. Found they attach best to the bottom of the mirror as the plastic moulding inside the (Jeep) mirror is stronger. I got sick of cleaning my doors with the strap on mirrors to ensure the paint didn't mark. Takes 30 seconds a side to fit. No adjustment required once you've done it the first time.
Pre flight checks revealed a flat tyre on the Starcraft. Better here than on the road. The culprit - a large sharp stone deeply embedded between the tread. Off to be repaired tomorrow so we can leave early for the upcoming long weekend. Glad I checked!
Edit. Yes I blacken my tyres!

What a difference a small adjustment makes. This change has made a noticeable difference in the handling of the van. Those with Quadralift Jeeps know they drop to 'aero mode' when you hit 90km/h or put it into sport mode. For this reason I was happy it was a little high at rest in normal mode. However the change was well worth it. A reminder to not be afraid to try something new.
Tyres remained on 44psi.
My parents have a JGC but not the ql suspension and another small mod that made a big difference was to have a new hole drilled in the Hayman hitch to move it as close as possible to the back of the car.
Their van is a 20.62.2 so very similar size/weight to yours, just no bunks.

Just having a whinge!
Another #%%}]\?!! flat tyre. Rear right again. Not about to head off anywhere but a glance at the weekend revealed number two flat on the same tyre in two months. The car had one in between. So that's three after none in probably 20 years.
Whinge over.

Check your rim! Mine had a hair line crack and was going flat, noticed it just before trip before last. Changed to spare and got the rim replaced by Jayco. Seems like they had a batch of faulty ones as reported in other threads on this forum.

I retrofitted two hatches to my old Expanda. You should still be able to fit one if you were keen. It's a great addition.
Been wanting to divide the van with a lightweight curtain. Primarily to keep the aircond' breeze away from one of the beds (she doesn't like it!) and add a separate change area (teenage kids).
Found this 130cm expandable shower rail and single 140cm wide x 170cm drop curtain at Spotlight today.
All for less than $40 and installed in 5 minutes.
Easily removed and could even be located further down the van to divide the table area from the kids and the ensuite some more.
Very happy! Sharing the idea.
