Quote for BFG KO2's for the wagon,  $225 each fitted and balanced from Bob Jane.  Deposit quickly given.

Was going to look at some Cooper AT3's, but at $280 each will give a miss.

Benifits of running smaller rubber - 235/70/16's.

Jeep trolls beware  8)

Same reason I like running 31x10.5s - I can get a set of Dueller ATs for about $200each from KMart... guess what will be going on the trailer soon?!

The testing done by some on the Whirlpool site suggests that control is poor, particularly at the high end. They pulse to keep things on low as well.

Thanks guys for the heads up about the QC....     Actually I find a LOT of electronics from Aldi no good, unfortunately. ..

I was going to leave this thing boxed up till we are ready to use it with the van - but now; its going to get a through workout....

About 3 years ago - SHMBO parlayed the $100 Kogan unit we originally bought for the caravan - and this one gets used (flawlessly) a few times every day.....   so I reckon say 3 x 365 x 2.5 = total number of goes so far.....  and no problems. ....  (a tick for Kogan induction cookers anyway ...).

We have the same fridge in our camper. Excellent. I took out one of the narrow fridge baskets and made up a half insert so that a 2L milk container can stand upright.

Looks like these vans manufacturer must have failed compliance .. Sold for wrecking and parts only .

That ain't no bargain. Did you read the engineers report. That and others like it should be crushed
and just the internals resold

just this bit is worrying enough
2.2 Welding
The welds observed on the chassis of the caravans were of questionable quality. Poor
preparation, poor welding technique and poor finishing of the welds has resulted in welds
which, in the Authors' opinion, cannot be relied on. Some welds have a white substance
around them, the white substance is zinc that was likely released when the galvanised
coating burned. The weld was poorly prepared, the galvanised coating should have been
ground back prior to welding. The zinc is released when the galvanised coating is burned
during the welding process, if the zinc gas is caught in the weld, the weld becomes porous
and weak. The weld seen in Figure 4 is the weld that holds the leaf spring mount on the
chassis rails. The weld has okay contact with the two members however there is a lot of
splatter and uneven welding in the area. The weld appears to be porous and has not been
treated properly post weld, as illustrated in Figure 4 parts of the weld have begun to rust.

Well I did say for wrecking and parts only .. Might be a cheap way to get all the costly items for a project build .
