That’s strange, the Backjack was approximately 8 Kg heavier than the old manual jack…not sure why it would increase your tow ball weight by more than double…

Yes, we still prefer the old cassette style!

Your welcome

Hi Stephen, good to hear from you, I’m presuming you have the same Enerdrive Power Board system as mine. On the video where I added the additional fuse under the seat, you will find the neutral bar next to the existing fuses, plenty of spare terminals to connect too..just unclip the clear plastic cover by squeezing the ends in to access the Silver bar. For your additional Anderson Plug for the fridge, you could add another circuit where I have added the Black Jack circuit in the same way and run a “8 B&S “ cable through the chassis channel with the Black Jack circuit, fit a separate 30amp fuse for cable protection. Don’t forget to make good tight connections and label everything for future reference. Hope that helps, any more questions, just send me another message. Cheers Graham

@@grahambelby9117 Yes Graham, the same Enerdrive power Board system. Thanks heaps for the help. Very much appreciated. Looking forward to your next videos. Take care. Cheers Steve.

Thanks, appreciate your comments. Cheers Graham

We have only done lightly shrubby tracks, and so far so good, wash the van with the special VANTEC wash/ polish cleaner and it has come up like new with no marks…

@@grahambelby9117 cheers. Torn between this and bushrwapz

The VANTEC is more of a Sun/ weather protection so you don’t have to annually polish the Fibreglass. I just looked up the Bushrwapz, and being a wrap it would probably give you more protection from scratches. It is still important to protect all the fibreglass that is exposed to the Sun/ weather including the roof. The VANTEC cost us $2K when we did it 2 1/2 years ago, and that includes the application. Hope that’s some help Cheers Graham

@@grahambelby9117 cheers mate, thats the challenge , working out which one to go with as they both do slightly different things, maybe i will put couple more solar panels on hey and they will sort the roof issue out....

@@bradcarey7617 Can’t go wrong with more solar, all the best with your decision

Thanks, appreciate your comments

Hi John Will answer based on our experience; We had problems controlling the heat initially, when I had a gas technician out fixing our Combo Room/ Water heater he checked the gas regulator at the gas bottles and found it was never set correctly from the factory, once set I now had good control and was so much happier with the performance of our Sizzler, so possibly your gas regulator may require adjusting, they use a special meter to set it correctly. I do find it takes usually 3 clicks of the ignition for it to initially fire up. Also be careful not to kink the gas inlet hose. It’s a fairly long hose and I have done that on a few occasions from when I turn it 90deg to slide it in and out of the tunnel boot. The left side of the plate is hotter by design, but I am use to that and it works for us. We had a Baby Q in our previous van and I could never get the plate hot enough to cook a good steak. Finally; If none of those ideas work, you could reach out to Sizzler’s main office in Sydney, I’m sure they would want to assist you. Hope that is of some assistance, cheers Graham

Thanks for your reply. I will look at our regulator to see it that makes a difference. It is certainly a well made unit, if only I can get it to perform.

@@JohnSchofield-d4t While starting my sizzler it goes out a few times. Takes 3 maybe 4 times to keep it going

Gidday Peter, yes I did do a vid on Car & Caravan set up in February 22 entitled; “Zone RV 20.6 Base Touring set up.” Covers all the mods to the van and the cruiser. The Land Cruiser only has a modest payload of 610 Kg, once you add the tow ball weight from the van (320Kg) + Bull bar, extra battery and the two of us, there is nothing left for gear in the back, hence a 300 Kg upgrade was required to stay legal. Cheers Graham…

I fitted MSA extended mirrors, work well, look good and you can fit them yourself if you are able to.

Always glad to share, thanks for your comments

Good to hear you watched through to the end, and thanks for your input.

Glad you enjoyed it

Yes, this was a new venture into the world of composting for our fellow Zoner. Thanks for your input.

Thanks Greg, glad you are still enjoying them.

We have found the new heating system such an improvement, especially the hot water in winter where we use to be limited to short showers even when to mains supply.

Yep, this is still the best value Zone they have ever built….

Appreciate your feedback, I enjoy making the vids and sharing info. Cheers Graham

Yes, they are very white and a little clinical at first sight, but we look at it more like a blank canvas where we can splash our own colours around, bedspread, pillows, wall pics etc. As for repairs, the fibreglass can easily be repaired if you damage it, we have seen first hand on other vans, a few holes before and after, and you wouldn’t be able to pick it. The furniture glued to the body gives additional integrity and strength to the whole van. We love our van, sometimes it comes down to personal preference. Thanks for viewing and your thoughts. Cheers Graham & Ann

That’s a good point, didn’t think about that. Glad you’re enjoying our vids. Cheers Graham

You are so welcome! Cheers Graham

I will pass your comments on, certainly was a great weekend, Cheers Graham & Ann

Thanks, you will have to try and make the next one.

Thanks guys, see uspsystems.com.au for the underbody mudflaps and the woody box. Hope that helps. Cheers Graham & Ann

Thanks, we saw you both the other day with lifestyle pioneers in Lucky Bay WA. The Zone get together was a great weekend with so many nice people, terrific information in a beautiful setting, it was a pleasure to film and get the drone up. Cheers Graham & Ann

Was that on You Tube? Must have been on our Lucky Bay, Cape Le Grand Episode Graham, yes we had a wonderful time together🤗 Once again - we so enjoyed your video. Many thanks 💫

Thank you, certainly is a beautiful location Woody - Wade Samin USPSYSTEMS.com.au 0418721240 Cheers Graham

@@grahambelby9117 the box doesn’t seem to be in this website. Is it not available yet?

@@nicad74 It was a prototype on display, coming soon he said, if you email him I’m sure he will keep you posted

Thanks, certainly was a great camp site.

Thanks for watching

Thank you

Yes, there certainly is lots of good products out there to improve most RV’s, glad you enjoyed our Vid and thanks for your comments.

Thanks, and we still miss him sooo much.

That’s great, we like sharing.

Thank you very much, glad you enjoy our vids.

Yes, they certainly needed improvement.

Your welcome, thanks

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.

Didn’t know that, thanks for the tip. Cheers Graham

Great tip, thanks 👍

Hi Tom, I actually said to Ann I should pre-worn you, that watching this video is going to cost you more $$ But…The Black Jack is one of the best mods we have done, you will love it…🤔✅ makes life so much easier. I will try and do something less expensive next time. Cheers Graham & Ann

Hi, these Blackjacks are only intended to raise and lower the draw bar, a wheel jack is usually provided by the manufacturer. Cheers

Hi, heads up, purchase 6 meters of 8 B&S automotive cable with a Anderson Plug fitted to one end and a 30 amp fuse for protection. Thanks for your assistance and photos of your stone guard. Cheers Graham

Glad you enjoyed 👍 Cheers Graham

Thanks, we miss our travel buddy so much. Glad you enjoy our vids. Cheers Graham & Ann

You are most welcome, glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks very much, glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks, great idea 👍

I had good advisers 🧐

Thanks for watching, good choice on the Zone, may you look forward to plenty of adventures soon. 😎

Hey guys, thanks so much, we really miss our little travel buddy, more than we thought we would. We have lots of great memories and have appreciated so many people reaching out to us. As a friend pointed out, Shadow had seen more of Australia in his 14 years than many Aussie’s do in their lifetime. I’m sure we will catch up with you some where down the track. Cheers Graham & Ann
