Just a correction, and I know you mean well, gas bottles do not explode, except under extreme blevie situations, but turning the gas off is a must, ruptured gas lines will burn at point of fracture, but gas pressure will not allow it to travel back to the cylinders, having said this, anything near those super heated flame WILL ignite, so great advice to turn them off, I really enjoy your videos very informative, plain english well done that Man.

Hi Nathan. Just another tip in regards to the water tank selector tap. If the tap is in the middle position (ie drawing from both tanks) and one of the tanks runs empty, the pump will start sucking air in via the refill point and water will stop flowing from the tank still holding water. To overcome this, flick the selector tap towards the good tank. This blocks air coming in from the empty tank and you're good to go again. (until the second tank empties anyway :-) ) - Great videos.

@XploringOz

4 жыл бұрын

Thanks mate! Soo many great tips to learn when using these vans. I have noticed that almost always the tanks drain at different rates, so this is bound to happen when they start to run out. Cheers, Nathan.

Just to add, that particular Thetford fridge does not have a thermostat for the GAS operation. The user MUST monitor the cabinet temperatures otherwise it will freeze things like lettuce, tomatoes and eggs or it wont be cold enough and fresh meat etc will go off. The dial sets the flame intensity not the temp, so it does not automatically adjust the flame. After owning the exact same fridge for 6 years it is not a prob for us. We like the simplicity of the manual fridge, but others complain bitterly. Buy a wireless thermometer for the fridge. ALL 3 way fridges are very slow to react to temperature changes. Make sure it is at operating temp before any food goes in, so run it for 24 hours before you load food into it.

Hi Nathan, yet another great video. About 6 months ago our HWS stopped working on 240V in our 2011 Discovery, works fine on gas. I was told I probably sizzled the 240V element by forgetting to turn that silly misplaced on/off switch inside the water unit off then when getting home reconnecting the 240V to keep battery charged and of course no water supply and now heater element possibly damaged. Looking forwards to a vid on HWS element testing/replacing😉 Cheers!

Great video mate, just looking to buy the journey outback and this was very informative. Have subscribed. Just one thing I’d like to know is where does the shower and kitchen sink water go. Just out onto the ground or into a tank

@XploringOz

3 жыл бұрын

Thanks mate, I'm glad you were able to get some value from this video. So from standard, the waste water is collected at the rear drivers side of the van where it exits via 1 port. This enables a pipe to be fitted to the plumbing and the waste water directed into a drain or away from camp. Water can be collected and is often referred to as 'self sufficient' or 'self contained' systems. This involves adding a grey water tank to the van where the water is collected and can be emptied when required. Jayco do offer this as a factory option and theoretically wouldn't be hard to add to any existing system. Hope this helps and good luck with the new van. Cheers, Nathan.

Looks like you have a curtain rail above the top bunk. Can you point me in the direction of what you used for that?

Hey mate, so yes the 12V water pump will supply water to the HWS. This being said, unless you manually drain the tank from the exterior, the tank will always be full. As you draw water from it, the pump is re-filling it back up 👍 Hope that makes sense.

Good stuff. To re-fill the hot water system, you just need to turn your water pump on. There is a sensor inside that will automatically switch the pump off when the correct pressure is restored. Don't be too worried if it takes a little while, theres about 22L required to fill. You might find the pump will switch on and off a couple of times when it's almost full too. Hope that helps.
