Good video. Just by coincidence this year I have installed both these jobs, the jacks on my van and a diesel heater for a friends caravan. They are both pretty hard jobs but worth it. The jacks we are still learning to use best, and intend to get some pads as well just to help the levelling flexibility on more sloppy ground.
@@passynby that would be awesome, we're travelling down the Western Australian coast at the moment, but if we get a chance to cross paths, that would be good. Safe travels!!
Hey Paul and Michelle, I've been watching you guys since you picked up Maude and can't wait to get my MotorHome. You have given me so many ideas of what to look for when i go to purchase mine. I'm not reriting for a couple of years but I've got my list ready with what to have and what not to have. Great job on the removing the concertina. Love the curtains. Can't wait to see your trip around Australia. Cheers Deb
Oh thanks for watching our journey! So glad we could give you some inspiration in any little way. Yep, that concertina door had to go!! Let us know when you get your motorhome. You'll love it! Hope to see you on the road Deb.
Hi. We have put curtains in the same places and they work so well, whether it’s hot or cold. I really don’t know why they use those bulky/ heavy concertina doors. We actually put in permanent pole’s which can double as hanging for damp or wet washing at those times when the rain seems never ending. Safe travels 🫶
Hi ya, I believe Jayco are now doing the curtains as an optional extra (don't quote on that because I'm not entirely sure). Dual purpose rods - good idea!! Thanks. Safe travels too.
Diesel heaters are great. Our MH came with one as standard. I wasn’t sure about it initially until we ran it in cold conditions. You only need to run it for 5 minutes to see a big jump in temperature.
Yes, I would highly recommend getting them. The hydraulic system cost us $11,900 which included the installation. We went with Redfoot approved installers. Check their website for a full list of installers redfootlevelling.com.au/installers Ours was installed byOut of Town 4WD (www.oot4wd.com.au/) and they were fantastic!
love the curtains, certainly is a weight saver...what was the reason you selected the hydraulic Redfoot system, rather than the electric system... enjoy your lap around...
Thank you! And yes, every kilo counts. We were advised by Redfoot that if in our travels we were staying mostly in caravan parks then go with the electric system. But if we were to be more off grid (which we will be) then go with the hydraulic system as it caters for uneven surfaces because each foot is independent. Hope this helps 😀
Kate, Apologies...as a hearing impaired person myself I totally agree with you. We thought we already had the subtitles on....no matter, we will definitely rectify the issue. Cheers Paul
Hey Paul & Michelle, We're new to your channel. Looks like youve been testing Maude for a bit now. Have you had any issues with the Fiat motor. We're looking at getting our motor home early next year for the big lap. We just know what make or motor would be best for reliability. Any advice would be appreciated. 🥂🍻
@anthonylane9547 Hi Anthony, Firstly thank you for visiting our channel...glad to have you aboard 🙂 Regards your question, we are very happy with the Fiat motor and have not had any issue with it as yet (hopefully I have not jinxed us). We have found it a very pleasant motor to drive and overall are happy with it. Takes a bit to get use to the European set up though (still turn on the wipers mistakenly at times 😉).
@MsMancans We took the extra 85 kgs into consideration too. So we really went through each cupboard and storage areas and just minimalised everything. For example, reduced my (Michelle) clothes by 6 kgs, got rid of extra manchester, concertina door, etc. We also had the original stabilisers removed. We're under weight. It can be achieved - just take what is absolutely necessary. 😀
Kate, we found that with a curtain it adds extra movement area in the bathroom due not bumping into a hard concertina door all the time. There is also the weight issue....Curtains are a lot lighter than the door. Cheers Paul
I finally got round to looking you guys up! I list the piece of paper you gave me. I hope your journey is going well. Thanks for the chess set!😊
@yvonnewilkinson4280 bwahaha... glad you're enjoying the chess set 😀

Thank you. Wow, that's fabulous that you could do these jobs. Good on you! We've also got some chocks for extra support.
Thanks for all the great info. We pick up our 25.3 early next year. Looking forward to our full time travel too.
Thanks Deborah - much appreciated. You'll love your 25-3 - it's a beautiful home on wheels!😀
Hey guys,
Dave here from Davedani Downunder. Just wanted to say "All the best on your lap of Australia"
You'll love it!!!

Thanks for information. Pasko and I are so looking forward to the warmth of the heater.
Love Paul’s shirt 😂
@averymurphylife just doing my bit to promote Derek Zoolanders school for kids that can't run too good 🤪
Impressed with the Redfoot levellers. How much fitted? Who can fit? Are there approved installers? Thanks.
Yes, I would highly recommend getting them. The hydraulic system cost us $11,900 which included the installation. We went with Redfoot approved installers. Check their website for a full list of installers redfootlevelling.com.au/installers

@@passynby cheers for that....
Paul should wear a funny shirt in every video 😂
It could be the start of a trend!
just curious, how much weight did the Redfoot add to your motorhome
The hydraulic system is about 85 kgs.
Please put subtitles on it helps the deaf and hearing impaired
Kate, Apologies...as a hearing impaired person myself I totally agree with you. We thought we already had the subtitles on....no matter, we will definitely rectify the issue.

How did you manage to fit the levellers in with the overall weights ? We thought about it but would take us over 4500 kgs

For example, reduced my (Michelle) clothes by 6 kgs, got rid of extra manchester, concertina door, etc. We also had the original stabilisers removed. We're under weight.

Why did you remove the concertina door?
Kate, we found that with a curtain it adds extra movement area in the bathroom due not bumping into a hard concertina door all the time. There is also the weight issue....Curtains are a lot lighter than the door.
