they started doing it on some models from 2015..............
but I'm not sure if they standardized for the whole range

Just Googled it and cant find it anywhere, its deffo not on my van as the wheel is inside the a-frame.

I remember a thread about it early this year / late last year about the wind down underneath
same as them putting the power inlet on the rear of the pop top campers at the same time

Ok. first mod done...
Poly box for the ziggy and before you all post yours please don't I have seen nearly every box on this site... and thanks all for your ideas. it put me through hell trying to work out what I need.

Went with the poly cause half the weight of an alloy and tough. plus I like too move the ziggy around when camping depending what we're cooking.. I've got the stand aswell / oven inside van too. so don't need ziggy all the time.

The van only came with one gas bottle as I asked for. The design in pic is pretty much same as I had on my Swan. just gas beside boxes. And black drum in front of box..

So I fitted 2 gas bottle holders today and left existing holder in place for black drum. Also fitted bottle directional valve to regulator.

The black drum has always been good to store anything. I mainly used it for dirty stuff on the road... or when packing up.

So tommorrow is new day new mod. lol

I like!

I like even more.

It keeps things simple, and lighter.....and functional.

That's an interesting box...I haven't seen one of this shape.

:):):)


Looking really good.

Ok.... finally got around too (another mod) sorting the jayco on the road/off grid battery charging issues. Fitted the c-tek 250 duel 20amp 5 stage smart charger with ctek smart pass. This system allows running off fridge while on road(up to 80amp alternator) and charging batteries by alternator or solar and running main fridge( it chooses best source). All jayco give you is a trickle charge from the inboard setec system. (relies on 240v to charge at higher rates. No good for me off road/grid) Also fitted some Anderson plugs to run my waeco beer fridge in and outside, and the red Anderson plugs are for portable solar panel inlets for the c-tek 250 dual.... I do run 2 105amp batterys in van and 2 optima yellow tops in car

Have fitted d035 off-road hitch too. pics to come..
