    “Off-road caravan failure” ends up being just a plastic water connection T piece. Little bit melodramatic isn’t it?

      You probably thrive on other peoples misfortunes and that’s why you clicked on it!

      These guys are the smart ones, living alot of peoples dreams!
      It’s an online business and that’s how they make money! Simple minded people like yourself need to put more thought into why their advertising their episodes like that instead of writing stupid shit without putting more thought into it!

    Great Video as always. Little Tip at the Tank exit add a plastic Tap fitting which then allows you turn the water off at the source for any future breaks

    Awesome vid guys, we did this 2 years back and absolutely love the Gibb! Fantastic to see you guys doing what we did. I wrapped every pipe and wire under the van with split pool noodles with cable ties, in 50k never broke a pipe $20 and a few hours great peace of mind! So envious of you guys atm

    • @suelandolt6840
      @suelandolt6840 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Oh wow Peter that is a great effort! Yes so wish we had wrapped the pipes. We were very stressed when the fitting to both tanks went. Thought a $1 fitting was going to end the Gibb for us!

    A tip is to wrap all your hoses and fittings using pool noodles and cable ties will stop stones smashing them to bits.....

    Pull into a sheetmetal shop and get them to make you up a new t piece from 316 stainless steel pipe. It'll last forever and won't die from the rocks.

    There used to be a joke that if you saw a water trail on the road a Jayco was ahead of you. We can now add your brand. Get yourself some pool noodle and water pipe insulation to cover exposed pipes.

    Another great vid. Manning Gorge was my favourite place on the Gibb. It's a pity you didn't manage to get to the falls - they are magnificent. Your caravan coped better than mine though - mine had to be taken out on the back of a truck

    Great episode once again. We can all give advice, but when you are the ones dealing with the situation it's different hey! Just keep on magivering it as you go. Then when you hit a town with a rep I or Supercheap you can buy brass fittings to replace the plastic ones.

    Why do you always leave your truck idling as it is very loud on the video and must p#$s people off
    It happened when people come into a van park and when they are leaving always for at least 10/15 mins.
