[@robertjohnston3658]

I know the area well having lived in Coffs Harbour, but now a WA resident You covered the area very well and Illuka is a real winner to stay in and relax for a week or so Also your tips on the swift hot water unit was much appreciated and I will clean mine out tomorrow, as a result, thanks!

[@trip42australia]

Thank you for the late reply, we love the area around Illuka it’s such a peaceful place to visit

Coraki? I know it well. My Mum’s family are from there. My Mum was known to get out of the bathtub and put on her Dad gummies and walk to the general store for a lolly ( own by her grand parents) then venture into the pub to be a social vegemite. And no she was not wearing any clothes only the gumboots. When the river flooded she’d be found diving off the roof of the shade that covered a seated area. She was a real handful at three years old lol😂. I had uncle’s on property at Coraki as we. Enjoy your time there. So Alison is from there as well? Small world. Cheers guys.

Glad both of you enjoyed your time. Another very interesting episode Thanks for sharing your adventures 😊

[@trip42australia]

Thank you, sorry we missed you in Brissy. Next time

[@deslynch8957]

Great episode guys, you're segment on the hot water system issue, highlighted the need for people to engage in maintenance. Good job

[@trip42australia]

Thank you, I yes we get around the van every week just to make sure everything is good, the hot water system was a bit of a mystery at first but very obvious now.

I had so much trouble with bathroom door in the end i removed the door altogether and replaced it with a shower curtain on a curtain rail. Works well and it removed 12kgs out of the van. Happy trails

[@trip42australia]

I thought about that, I’ll stick it out for a while but definitely worth some thought thank you

[@baumie461]

Thanks for the tip. Having a look at our gas hot water this weekend. 👌👍

[@trip42australia]

Thank you happy to help 😀

Check out the Border Ranges, loads of beautiful spots to explore. Sheep Station Creek is a beautiful spot for a day trip, small hike to a waterfall. Protesters Falls at the Channon another great day trip, nice pub theee also. Enjoy the Northern Rivers 😊

[@trip42australia]

Thanks for the tips! they sound great, we’re even thinking of a swag mission in some areas we can’t take the van.

My Mum also spent childhood in Coraki. My Pop ran local picture theatre until it got burnt down

[@trip42australia]

If you are heading South and need a free camp spot you are welcome to camp on our small acreage. ( as we are not travelling at the moment) We are south of Port Macquarie , inland 15 mins off Highway from Harrington. Not far from Taree and not too far to visit Forster. If its too far off the highway there is a Free camp at Coopernook State Forest that we can recommend or spend a free night at Coopernook Pub so long as you buy a meal. Its definitely not cheap along the NSW Coast.

[@trip42australia]

Thank you that’s a very generous offer and we are very appreciative. We have found Coopernook what a beautiful place

[@SAACIDSomalia]

love it

[@trip42australia]

Thanks mate

[@KSmith-ez3dh]

Thankyou so much for all your helpful, honest advice! I have added Horns Gas & Plumbing to my list of trusted services and will recommend them everywhere I go. We appreciate experienced and knowledgable services helping us on the road. :)

[@trip42australia]

Thank you, Horns service was excellent, we’re really happy you enjoyed the video

The gas on the vans have had a fairly consistent issue for both the hot water and the 3 way fridges, the solenoids, can get a bit sticky a few taps on the side NOT hits does in most cases free them up. The alternative way is the firstly check the voltage of the solenoid these can be 5 volts, or 12 volts do check before then apply the known correct voltage. Do this a few times if needed you should feel it operate, other than that of course l requires deeper investigation.

[@trip42australia]

Thank you, that helps a lot as I think we’ll continue to accumulate dust around the solenoids as we travel. Next time I’ll run the multi meter over it and check the voltage. We are also considering a removable cover for the outside during travel on really dusty roads.

[@Sabumnim666]

I have had this issue a few times luckily no replacement parts needed happy trails.@@trip42australia
