Hi Bruce. Yes, I actually do have an electric brake magnet - I forgot about this one! Yes, that's a good idea but I've decided to change the wheel bearings every 8-10 thousand ks. More frequently if we go through water. Thanks for the tip. Steve
Oh thanks so much for your lovely comment. Glad you liked this ep. Comments like yours keeps us motivated to carry on making more episodes! Thanks again.😀
Aluminium Section Sail Track is what it's called, and we got it from Bunnings. I found it on the Bunnings website also. Thanks for your comment and glad you enjoyed the video. Hope this helps. Steve
Hi Steve & Dena. This was useful info that will come in handy for us down the track. I have a couple of silly questions I'd like to ask please. When you rivet the shade cloth slide to the van, is there anything to be aware of when you drill through the van for the rivets, what are you drilling into & will it be water tight, should silicone be used around the drill holes? Also, is the red anderson plug for the vehicle to caravan electric brakes only & the grey one for everything else? I don't always see a red anderson plug on caravans. Thanks.
Hi Don. With the rivets, I used self-sealing rivets. When drilling into the side of the van, you're not drilling too deep so no problems there. I didn't bother with silicone because I used self-sealing rivets. No - the red anderson is for your braking system and the grey one is for everything else. Hope this helps. Thanks for the questions Don. Have a great day!
SKU: IC-004 Category: TPMS Accessories Hi Brian. Thanks for the question. We got the iCheck TPMS Signal Booster directly from ichecktpms.com.au. This solved all our problems with losing signal. I highly recommend getting this if your signal is dropping out. Have a great day and hope this helps! Steve
No, we were still down south at that time. Thanks for watching and thanks for your comment. We're just starting up our channel so it's exciting to connect with you!😀
@@BirdieTravels The reason I ask is that I also had a flat and another caravaner radioed to let me know, I have since bought wifi tyre pressure management system waiting for them to be delivered before my next trip. cheers
G'Day Robert. Thanks for the question. Our caravan sits quite high off the ground, so I jack it up on a couple of blocks of wood to help make it level and the jack sits high. Also, I leave they jockey leg on whilst travelling, so I don't have to take it off and find somewhere to put it when we hook up. With the foot off, the bottom of the shaft can be wound up level with the bottom of the draw-bar when travelling. Hope this makes sense. Steve
Hey mate your Rear lights are rubbish ,you may have a giant van but no one can see you are breaking with those strip lights ,get some decent Hella Jumbo's.
Steve thanks for an interesting video, looks like a great solar system. Servicing the caravan bearings was very helpful.

Hey guys, watched for the first time. The van with the flat tyre your mentioned, was that in Qld north of Childers around April?
No, we were still down south at that time. Thanks for watching and thanks for your comment. We're just starting up our channel so it's exciting to connect with you!😀

@@dags2310 Yeah, that's great you bought them. So much safer on the road now for your next trip! Steve
Why do to need to jack the jocky wheel so high up? r
