What a stunning and picturesque Vdo. Thank you once again. Hey did I see Jill swimming in the sea or was that a figment? Hey Pete, did I miss the repair to the toilet door in the van? I would love to have seen how that went. Cheers
@4and2Vanning6 күн бұрын
Jill swimming in the sea was definitely a figment of your imagination Chris 😆. The door was repaired a few weeks ago. The top running track had not n been fitted correctly by MTRV. It should have been glued and then bolted…they forgot the glue bit! 😫

Some tanks filler is half way up the tank. If you are using the filler as a breather you may not get a full tank. Another option is find the 12mm breather return fitted at the back of filler. Look in cupboard or under bunk. Cut it back from the filler,go to Bunnings get 12 mm T piece a length of clear plastic pipe and a on off tap for each filler. Hole through the floor near fillers drop pipe out fit tap on end. Open tap when filling close when finished. I also open when I’m doing washing water flows better. Breathers in the fillers too small that’s why we get blow back.
@4and2Vanning17 күн бұрын
Thanks Trevor. Good points. I think the filler in this instance is at the top of the tank. I actually use a Bunnings water flow meter when filling up and I usually get to within 5% to 10% of the theoretical tank maximum capacity. Thanks again 😀

Thanks guys. I've been mucking around for ages now always filling my tank from the bottom drain plugs one tank at a time . I just push the hose over the drain tap male bayonet. Still very fussy as I still have to lay in the dirt to push the hose on . Thanks for your video. No more getting wet and dirty .

@jeffdownunder411618 күн бұрын
I did exactly the same with our three tanks as I too got sick of it taking forever. One thing I added was a T piece on each “drain/fill” line with another valve to allow draining of each tank. I am now using HoseLink fittings to connect mains water and the fill point. I prefer the HoseLink fittings as no potential to fail. Do like Colins idea of a non return valve on the fill points. Certainly makes the filling so much quicker and easier.
@4and2Vanning17 күн бұрын
Good idea to add the T piece…I’ll mention that to Colin as a suggestion 👍

So I’ve just finished watching Part 3 on this lazy, rainy Sunday morning, and what a show it was. Sorry about your knee Pete, I hope it gets well soon. It was so cool Colin & Bridget could make up for some of the footage at Manning Gorge River. I also love the detail about the flat tyre and how you guys have learnt so much about taking care of your vehicles. What great travelling companions Colin and Bridget are, Colin is so helpful. I can’t wait to see when you get to Broome and fix that door. Jill is so funny! 😂. But what a great vdo. I really feel like I’m there with you guys. Next time you do a fuel stop, let us know how much you are filling up and what. Cheers my dear friends. Thank you so much. Xx

Funny story about the Midnight Oil house. Last time I was down that way I was looking for photo spots and I saw a little house out in the field, so I pulled over and took some photos. It wasn’t until I put the photo on Facebook that people were saying that I must be a Midnight Oil fan. Actually I can’t stand Midnight Oil and had never seen their album cover. To me it was just something random which I happened to see while driving past. I am a Ken Duncan fan though
