I haven’t yet. Pretty convinced on the e-level just don’t no what to get the switch, the remote or iPhone system !

Bought a Tin of red paint for he shocks thou !

Red paint is a must, looks more factory when painted red.
If going e-level you wont need a control panel made.

Jayco use fair dinkum 8b&s wire for the fridge now

But still run it through the 12 pin plug. Anyway easy enough to separate it out and put an Anderson on it. No extra wire needed which was good.

Mchitch fitted , knocked the edges of the gal and used washers too.

 

[achjimmy]

Fixed the front awning leg.
Can’t belive how far out they had it .

Had to off been seriously down in the nose when they fitted it !

All straight

Bit of silicone in the hole and you’d just think it was a typical messy Jayco job



Also re did the rear bracket and removed all the silicone Jayco use that stops the bracket draining when wet.

 

[achjimmy]

Storage for the BEST water filter and mounted to be out of the way in use . Never had one before .

Can’t work out Jaycos third tank plumbing . Not sure the pic is clear enough .
They have balanced the two front tanks with the pick up line . Was getting air in the line when using front two and they are not drawing down evenly. Would have thought you’d balance at the bottom ?

Anyway plan is to isolate front tank and fit seperate pump and filter (again) and have as a dedicated drinking only ! The adventurers are Plumbed like this and @Crusty181 gave me the idea when he mentioned his love of melbourne water

Our water here at home is nothing stunning but is clean.

Oh ... so that stuff in the awning leg bracket is just silicone

Yup the most neatly applied on the whole of the Jayco and irrelevant

Ha a 1”bsp cap screws on to the water filler perfectly! Drinking tank now sealed up

Modded double Step fitted.

On the 19 you have to have the legs folded forward on the front as the foot just fouls the chassis . Took the edge of the foot off and fitted the extensions

 

[achjimmy]

Fitted up the stonestomper.

How good is @stonestomper

Needed some more brackets emailed late Tuesday , in the mail on Wednesday and received Thursday ! And they come with an assortment of fasteners and even the bit driver. Made the job easy . Thanks Christian .

 

[achjimmy]

So all the jobs for the moment are done . Going away to try it for the week now

 

[Drover]

That's great your going away, hopefully over some dirt roads for added testing and dull some if that underbelly shine, its not natural.

Isn`t @Stonestomper a member anymore??? You would think with all the business he has picked up from us he would hang around?

Love the water filter storage idea, might have to steal that one. Where did you get the clips from.

They are a BEST product . $5 from RTM but sure any BEST reseller would have em .

Well she’s riding on air

No control system yet , just left/right shrouder valves. Sitting well and I towed her about 45km in the wet and dark so couldn’t tell much. She certainly travelled over the pedestrian humps much smoother . Maybe there’s a tad more pitching ? But Ive suspected for a little while the cruisers rear end needs tightening .

Anyway control circuit now.

Big thanks to a mate from specialised vehicles (maker of that 6 wheel ranger) for his help with airbag knowledge and to @Base23 for constant tips throughout. At one stage I couldnt see how to tighten the top nut but @Base23 to the rescue thanks Brad.
