Wow, no excuse for that, very dangerous practice.....lucky you found it!
A very luck find Millsy
you would think there is no excuse for that!!
Think what the worse case scenario could be :flame:
No luck about it gents. There is no excuse for wiring such as this and it is very dangerous. Its not rocket surgery to do wiring in a safe manner. I didn't expect it to be up to my own high standards but I didn't expect it to be this poor. The van was ordered with second battery provision (which in hindsight I should have just done myself, its just a battery box screwed to the floor and a couple of dodgy leads!) so whoever did the wiring would have been aware that I would be in there fitting a second battery.
Worst case scenario would have been me getting my hands on the bloke who did it at the moment I found it
!!!
Nice pics of the van Shaz and BT Bazzo. Sorry to hear of you problems with the shower. As for that wiring......that's ordinary.
We have warranty work booked for tomorrow. Biggest things to replace are Front Hard Lid due to bubbling and the Sphere Microwave fogs up the front glass.
Cheers Deano
Cheers Deano, I hope all your warranty issues get sorted out swiftly!
Mine's conveniently* located under the seat near the HWS.
(* especially if you've already removed table and cushions or are a contortionist!)
I have been informed of where the breakaway unit is mounted..........behind the cutlery drawer!!!! Gee, silly me, why didn't I think to look there?? (note; sarcasm!)
Jayco have been in touch, all the small issues have apparently been sorted and the first service has been done. They don't have time to do the fibreglass repair or deal with the cut'n'polish, they have to book external people for that with at least two weeks lead time, so that will still have to be done at Bendigo.
Regarding the shower, the factory have advised them to try and get some sealant in underneath the shower floor, via the shower drain and by drilling a couple of holes in the floor from underneath, and then weighing it down while it cures. If this works I suppose it is a satisfactory result considering our time constraints. They are going to attempt this over the next couple of days so we should hopefully have some form of result by Monday. If it doesn't work, then the issue has been logged in the system and we will have to either deal with it somewhere along the journey, or if it is not going to cause any further damage it may just have to be repaired when we get back.
To his credit, the service guy we have been dealing with at Bayswater has been friendly and prepared to listen to and address our complaints.
Cheers
Shane
