@SMJ *Try posting a bit more so your post isn't boring* thats what I was told when I asked the dealer to install one where Ive now put it .... which ironically is the same dealer @AzHaych found were happy to do it
. Bit of a lucky dip I think. As for the gas legislation, that's a state by state issue. If you want it installed bring it to Victoria, but ensure get your days right. The Gas Regs state it can't be done on Mondays (weekends of course), every second Thursday and the entire third week of each month. @AzHaych, which are the days it can be done ??? Theres also a random "spin the wheel" day they won't tell you about until your there.
I would imagine that if you pay via "brown paper bag" and don't require an invoice/receipt, you can probably circumnavigate most of those restrictions on days @Crusty181.
The Secret Language of the Tradie is now out there ..... Good on ya @Smergen, now everyone will be throwing cash at us. Dang it. :greedy_dollars:
Well may you laugh .. but I spent an undisclosed amount of time trying very hard to mount the diesel heater on the annex side of the van so I cold run a duct into the annex.
Anyway, diesel heater dont need gas
Some camo face paint, black tracksuit, a garden hose, a dose of audacity ... and big kahunas ... and youll never run out of dieselI was thinking if you ran out of diesel
Ha. Yeah .... but then again wheres the fun in that. I dont get the same buzz pinching my own dieselOoooor....just a siphon hose and the key to your diesel tank in the Navara
Are they so you can hold 40ltrs of fuel for the Diesel heater?
20ltrs for the diesel heater .. and 20ltrs for aircon (genny). Got both options covered
How is your ball weight will it all loaded up @Crusty181 ?
I've been looking at adding a toolbox etc, but I'm concerned about adding so much weight up front.
Daylight saving coming soon so you won't need to use the diesel heater.
I'm sure the forum jokes will decline in warmer weather and more daylight.

Shhhhhh. QLD havent invented that yet. We dont want them to know
We've been lucky there. We deleted the slideout lounge, so dropped almost 100kg of weight off the front of the van. Our delivered ball weight was a dangerously low 145kg, so it was screaming out for the tool box mod. I probably over mod'ed it with the jerry holders, but what the hell. I loaded up the new rack, put about 40kg of stuff in the box along with my 85kg son and it tipped the "1x1/3 bathroom scale ball measurer" at around 300kg. Once i remove my son (possibly next week some time) and replace him with the actual camping gear it should come in under 270kg

..... and the mods just keep on coming.
With hot and cold water pipes running around under the van together; I cant fathom the reasoning behind not having a hot water tap on the draw bar next to the cold water tap.
Very handy for washing up the stuff you dont want inside and then clogging the pipes like cemented on BBQ marinade etc
So just like magic with the flick of a box cutter, a "t" junction and a tap painted red (ok, Indian red is all I had) ..... say the magic words .... and
Total cost $20. Future mod to the mod might involve a flick mixer and set it up similar to the ext shower
