hi guys, love your shows even if they are repeats, watching your adventures does make me feel good and educates me, maybe I will meet you one day on the roads of life and feeling good. 😊
HI Paul &Katie and interesting episode on repacking the Cruisermaser / Deemax disc hubs. The calliper side bolts should have a smear of Bendix Ceramasil applied to the shaft area and small amount Loctite threadlok applied on threads that screw in the mount on the swing arm then torque the slide bolts ro 75 NM. I carry a set of wheel studs and nuts as well wheel bearings and few split pins. Safe travels.
Thank you Ian for this extra information really great 👍 and yes we carry wheel studs also - I don’t have extra split pins so will add as well thank you 🙏
Good supplementary episode gang. Done a few bearings in older cars and our box trailer. Need to do our van between now and next summer. I wish I had a detailed diagram for all the points what needs grease and oil (Grease is the word). Easier to maintain and prevent a failure than have to book with a mechanic 6 weeks ahead of time. I should do up one, or check with Lotus to see if they have a diagram and service book. About to upgrade our inverter to from the Redarc 2000w inverter to the brand new Redarc RS3 3000w inverter, plus up our batteries to 600ahs from 200ahs. Just a swap out and adjust settings in control module. DIY. This should help us go off grid and feel comfortable that we wont run short on power. Would have been good to get Jasperoo to pack some bearings and learn. But, I understand his age and it’s a workplace.
Hello, apologies on the delayed reply 😅 love the idea of having a diagram for all the points! 3k inverter and 600ah will have you set up amazingly well…. How much solar will you have to feed the system? We have same in our van and love that we can stay and play Offgrid forever 🙌💙🇦🇺😊 safe travels
@@TheFeelGoodFamilyhi Paul, Katie and Jasper. Paul, how often should we change or regrease our caravan bearings? We are at this very moment picking up our van from service and they replaced the bearings on our 3 year old van which has travelled about 40,000km. I’m a bit shocked at the $695 charge so thinking we’re going to learn ourselves for the future 😆

Hi guys. Love watching your shows, both here and Channel 7. Just a quick question… I just received an email from stratus outdoors… I have subscribed to your website but not theirs. Am seriously hoping you haven’t passed on private information to 3rd party businesses without permission. Can you please clarify? Happy travels.
Hello @musicchick7743, we certainly won’t have done that. Did you enter any of the giveaway competition that may be where you opted in for receiving their email? Let us know - we don’t ever share private information with 3rd party businesses. Hope that helps 🙏 and thank you for all your support! 🏕️💙
That’s so reassuring. Thank you so much for replying. I totally thought you guys were above doing that. Restored my faith in humanity. I don’t remember ever subscribing to them, but you’re right - maybe it was a competition. 🤷🏼♀️ you guys are awesome. Thanks so much for replying. ☺️
No worries at all and really appreciate you getting in touch to follow up 💙😊 excited to be back travelling end of this week so some really beautiful content coming your way 🏕️🙌 have a beautiful Easter P,K&J
Hi Peter, yes for some vehicles you won’t need them replaced for a longer period. We only replaced because the seals had come away from the bearings completely allowing a lot of dirt in and that had effected their condition greatly so opted for a complete replace! 😅🏕️🍻 safe travels and thank you for the question!

Safe travels you three. Hope you have a blast. I’ll certainly be living vicariously through you. ☺️
Should bearings last longer than 30,000Km or is it just that it's a tandem caravan.
