Hey Micko,
Nice setup. Now wasn't that wait worth it? Looking forward to more pics.
Cheers Deano

Looks like a new one. The old flue finishes flush and doesn't have the overhang on top.
Yours does howerver, look like it has been hacked around a bit. By the looks of it, they've bent the flap down so it fits through the cutout in the door (door might not be adjusted correctly).
I suppose the main thing is, if it ignites and stays alight reliably, then its ok

The giveaway is the holes on the cover, the old one has perfect squares where the new one had rectangles. But yours looks like it has the squares but it has the extended flue and the angled top on the outside cover. Should be ok, time will be the test.

Cheers,
Thanks for that, the flue looks the same just that i has been bent down.
Might get onto Coast to coast about a new kit. It is worthn it to have it on standby if something does go wrong.
Well, don't I feel really stupid about now.
I was all ready to put in a 12v line and socket to the front cupboard, bought the cable, socket, ribbed conduit etc, only to find out that where I was going to install the socket there is already one there. Now don't I feel like a goose.
On the the other hand I did fix up the switch, which Jayco forgot to install, for the external light on road side that we had installed at the fatory. Works like a treat.

Well I just orderd the stone Stomper.
Christian from Stone Stomper is a very nice person to deal with and very willing to help out.
Thanks for your help Christian. Fingers crossed it should arrive by Thursday next week.

Our heater cover has the rectangular holes - van delivered last November. Have only used it so far on 240V....
Thanks, not sure why the flue on mine is new, but the cover is old. I can't quite work that one out.
I had the hotwater system running over the last couple of days and it reignited each time without a problem.
Our plans for our first get away has been canned, the wife needs to work on the saturday, I have first aid training on Saturday and Sunday, the following weekend I have a First aid duty at a camp draft, so that is out.
It looks like the first outing is going to be Easter up in Lighning Ridge.
I might just sneak an overnighter in at a local NP before hand, but time will tell. Easter is creeping up very quick, only 4 weekends away.

Are the floods going to affect your Easter plans? Even my annual trip to Louth is looking doubtful for July.
As far as I can tell from the RTA maps, I should be able to get through.

Looks like you have a very nice setup - bet you cant wait to get it out on the road. The stone stomper order sounds quick as well. Perhaps we may investigate one of these too. Was it easy to work out how to measure up? I suppose we would need to wait for the van to get the precise measurements.
Christian gave very clear instructions, via email, on how to measure up.
Yes you will need your van for the measurements, as measurements needed are from the hitch to the chassis of the van, plus the width of the van.
I love my stone stomper, well worth the investment to protect the front of your van:first:
PS vans looking great.

Bought a weber baby q yesterday, went looking for a hose for it today. AGL in Ornage will have one here on wednesday 3m long.
The hoses they sell are very strong and thick. Looking forward to hooking up the Q to try it out.
